Don't Know Your Face Shape? Here's How to Find Sunglasses
About this video
McGoff provides a practical framework for selecting sunglasses based on face proportions and features rather than relying on traditional face shape categories. He teaches viewers to measure face width and length, consider facial features on a spectrum from soft to angular, and match sunglasses dimensions accordingly to achieve balance and symmetry.
Key takeaways
- McGoff argues that face width (temple to temple) is the most critical measurement when choosing sunglasses, and frames should be proportional to avoid looking disproportionate
- McGoff recommends measuring face length (forehead to chin) and selecting lens heights that balance the proportions—longer frames for longer faces and shorter frames for rounder faces
- McGoff teaches that facial features should be balanced rather than emphasized, so angular faces should avoid extremely round frames and vice versa
