What Sunglasses Suit Bald Men?

Before looking at glasses, you may want to check out a face shape app for sunglasses. The app allows you to upload your picture and see what different types of glasses would look like on your face.

Choosing the right sunglasses for your head shape is particularly important to bald guys. It’s so obvious when a pair of glasses doesn’t jive well with a wider face or slimmer cheeks because it doesn’t balance out with the shaved head look.

There are a few factors that can help you find the perfect pair of sunglasses for a bald head.

Compliment Your Face Shape

One of the most important factors is determining whether sunglasses work well with your face shape. There are typically 6 different head shapes, though everyone is unique.

Wider shapes, including round, heart-shaped faces, and square don’t look the best with small or round frames. Instead, you should have for aviators or wide frames that won’t cut into your face as narrow frames tend to do.

Oblong face shapes such as oval, rectangle, and diamond faces have their pick of sunglasses, though you probably wouldn’t go with oversized lenses that bulge. This could overshadow your shape and even make you look like an alien.

Lens Shape

The most popular lens shapes include round, rectangular, aviator or Wayfarer. They may also be oversized or large lenses that are made to cover your eyes entirely and block out the sun. However, larger lenses tend to look strange on narrow or oblong faces.

Thick Frames vs. Thin Frames

Thin frames are less durable than thick frames, but it also depend on the material. Many thick frames are made from plastic, which don’t bend as much as some metal frames. However, they also peel and fade as the coating deteriorates over time.

Thin frames also may not work the best if the arms cut into your cheeks and sides of your head. This typically means that you need a thicker, wider pair of sunglasses.

Frame Style

Angular frames and glass frames also add a unique dimension to your overall look. When trying them on, pay close attention to how your skin tone works against the frames so you get it right.
