Square Sunglasses: Styles, Who They Suit and How to Choose
Square sunglasses are one of the best-selling sunglasses shapes, and for good reason: they're easy to wear, they suit a lot of faces, and they go with almost any outfit. Here's what counts as a square frame, the main styles, who they suit and how to pick one.
What are square sunglasses?
A square frame has straight top and bottom lines and defined corners. Some are sharp and boxy, others have softly rounded corners. Most are made from thick plastic (acetate-style frames), which gives them a strong, confident look.
Types of square sunglasses
Classic square
Medium size, thick frame, straight lines. The everyday pair that goes with jeans, suits and everything in between.
Oversized square
Bigger, deeper lenses for more coverage and more drama. One of the most popular shapes for women right now. See our oversized sunglasses guide.
Retro and vintage square
Slightly rounded corners and warm colours like tortoise and brown, inspired by the 60s and 70s.
Thin square
A lighter, slimmer frame. Less bold, and better for smaller faces.
Who do square sunglasses suit?
- Round faces: the best match. Straight lines add definition.
- Oval faces: almost any square works.
- Heart faces: pick a square with a lighter top edge or softer corners.
- Square faces: go for rounded corners rather than a sharp, boxy frame, so the frame doesn't repeat your jawline.

Picking a colour
- Black: sharp, classic, goes with everything.
- Tortoise: warmer and softer, great with neutrals and denim.
- Clear and coloured frames: a fresher, more fashion-forward look.
