Take a front selfie

Look straight into the camera with your whole face in the frame and your hair as you usually wear it. Take off any glasses you have on. Even lighting works best.

Aviator sunglasses were developed in the 1930s for US military pilots: large teardrop lenses that dip toward the cheeks to cover the whole eye socket, a double bridge and a thin metal frame. Gold frames with green or brown lenses are the classic.

The deep lens covers a lot of the face, so size matters: the frame should be as wide as your face at the temples, and the bottom of the lens should not rest on your cheeks.

FAQ

Are aviators good for small faces?

Yes, in a smaller size: many aviators come in two or three lens widths, such as 55, 58 and 62 mm. Pick the one that matches the width of your face.

Mirrored or plain lenses?

Both protect equally if they are UV400. Mirrored lenses reflect more light and hide your eyes; plain tints let others see them.
