How to Choose Sunglasses Based on Your Jawline: IDEE's Facial Mapping Guide

Your jawline says a lot, it helps define your face and the overall feel of your look. And sunglasses can either complement that jawline or work against it. The trick is simple: choose frames that balance your natural angles.

At IDEE Eyewear, we bring you an excellent collection of fliers square/rectangular, round, cat-eye, hexagonal and polarised lenses, so you’ll find options for every jawline and style.

Below is an easy, no-fuss guide to matching IDEE sunglasses to different jawlines so you walk out feeling like you made the right choice.

Strong, Square Jawline: Soften it with Curves

If your jaw is angular and pronounced, rounder frames are your friend. They soften hard lines and make your face appear more balanced.

What to try from IDEE

● Round Frames: Gentle curves that counteract the straight angles of a square jaw.

● Fliers with Softer Edges: The teardrop shape adds a flattering contrast.

Why it Works

Curves break up the straight lines, creating a smoother visual flow. Try a mid-sized round or a classic aviator in a neutral tone for everyday wear.

A Quick Tip: Avoid ultra-boxy square frames, they’ll make your jaw look even stronger.

Rounded Jawline: Add Structure with Angles

If your jaw is softer or more rounded, angular frames give your face definition.

What to Try from IDEE:

● Square or Rectangular Frames: They add structure and lengthen the look of your face.

● Hexagonal Frames : Slightly less harsh than a square but still provide that needed edge.

Why it Works

The straight lines of square or hex shapes bring contrast to a soft jawline, making your features pop without looking forced. IDEE Eyewear’s square and hex collections are good places to start.

A Quick Tip: If you want something less formal, pick frames with rounded corners or thinner rims.

Tapered or Pointed Jaw (Like a Heart Shape): Balance the Top and Bottom

A heart-shaped face usually has a wider forehead and a narrower jaw. The goal is to add width toward the lower half.

What to Try from IDEE

● Fliers : Their teardrop silhouette balances a narrow chin.

● Traveller or Square Styles with a Lower Curve: They add visual weight to the lower face.

Why it Works

These frames broaden the lower part of your face, creating a pleasant balance. IDEE Eyewear’s fliers and square frame sunglasses ranges include styles that sit slightly lower on the nose, which helps here.

A Quick Tip: Avoid tiny frames that sit high on the bridge, they’ll accentuate the forehead.

Pointed or Strong Chin (Prominent Lower Jaw): Find Gentle Contrast

If you have a prominent chin but not a square jaw, you don’t want to hide it, just soften it.

What to Try from IDEE

● Round or Oval Frames: Soften the chin without erasing your features.

● Frames with a Lighter Top Rim : These draw the eye up and away from the chin.

Why it Works

Rounded lines divert attention from the chin and create a smoother overall look. IDEE Eyewear’s round and oval options are good choices for this.

A Quick Tip: Try mid-sized frames rather than oversized ones to keep everything in proportion.

Narrow or Pointy Jaw: Use Proportion to Your Advantage

Narrow or pointy jaws benefit from frames that add a sense of width and stability.

What to Try from IDEE

● Square Frames: They add horizontal lines that balance vertical features.

● Rectangular Shapes: Provide a grounded look.

Why it Works

The added width from angular frames visually widens the lower face and evens out proportions. IDEE Eyewear’s rectangular and square collections are worth exploring.

A Quick Tip: Avoid extremely thin frames, they can make a narrow jaw look even slimmer.

Polarized Lenses: A Practical Extra that Helps Your Jawline Choice Too

Polarized sunglasses don’t change your face shape, but they do improve how your sunglasses read in real life. They reduce glare and make colors pop, so the frame shape you pick will show up cleaner and more defined, especially useful when you’re deciding between subtle shapes. IDEE Eyewear offers polarized options across several styles, so you can get both the right shape and practical lens tech.
