I’m obsessed with this brand Jimmy Fairly. I first discovered it while wandering through a little shop in Italy, and I’ve been hooked ever since. Most sunglasses don’t flatter my small, round face—but almost every pair I tried on in the store looked amazing. They’ve become my most-worn and most-complimented sunglasses, and the quality is insane for the $150 price point.

2. BONNIE CLYDE Brown & Gold Bicycle Sunglasses

I love the color combination of these. The brand is called Bonnie Clyde and they just get it when it comes to fun, flattering frames. Their styles are playful but still feel elevated, and the quality totally holds up. If you’re into unique shades that actually look good on smaller faces, this brand is such a win.

3. Bottega Veneta Cat Eye Sunglasses For Small Face

Cat eye sunglasses typically look better on narrow faces because the sharp lines can create an illusion of a more proportionate and balanced face shape.  These Bottega Veneta cat eye sunglasses are what everyone is talking about right now.

The UV400 lenses offer great sun protection, and they come with a case and microfiber pouch. If you have a small-sized face, these are a solid everyday pair that still feel elevated.

A lot of you guys have been asking me for Chanel sunglasses that suit smaller faces, and these rectangular ones I found on Selfridges are a great option. Rectangular frames are super flattering on small faces because they add structure without overpowering your features. It was honestly pretty hard to find a legit retailer that sells Chanel sunnies online, but Selfridges came through—and they even offer discounts (yes, even on Chanel!).

Other Designer Sunglasses For Petite Faces

FWRD has a lot of fun sunglasses for petite and small faces. Love all the different vibrant colors.


Saks off Fifth has great designer sunglasses that are well over 80% off including Gucci, Missoni, Tom Ford, etc.


I know Urban Outfitters isn't necessarily designer, but some of their sunglasses are so cute and look designer for a very affordable price.

what kind of sunglasses fit petite faces?

 In a market overflowing with shades designed for what seems to be a "standard" face size, those with small features often find themselves stuck between oversized frames that take away from their delicate features. Luckily, a lot of designer brands have tuned into the nuances of different face shapes, and they're here to make sure you look fab, even with those delicate features of yours.


Now, let's talk about why designer sunglasses are such a good investment. It's not just about the craftsmanship; it's about taking your whole look up another level. Loewe, known for its leather goods and high-end fashion, doesn't disappoint when it comes to eyewear. Oliver Peoples, on the other hand, is all about timeless designs and those little details that scream luxury. And when it comes to classic charm, Celine Triomphe sunglasses are a real showstopper.


So, how do you pick the perfect pair for your unique face shape?


It's all about understanding how different lens shapes can work their magic to elongate and balance your features. Whether you have a round, oval, heart-shaped, or square face, we've got some pro tips for you. Round faces can benefit from sunglasses with square or rectangular frames for that added structure.


Oval faces? You've got the versatility to pull off almost any frame shape, but a subtle cat-eye design like Saint Laurent sunglasses can add a touch of glam. If you've got a heart-shaped face, aim to balance that wider forehead and narrower chin with frames like Oliver Peoples O'Malley sunglasses. And for those with square faces, rounded frames are your best friends, softening those sharp angles – consider Celine Triomphe or GUCCI sunglasses with their oversized round lenses.
