Which Sunglasses Should I Choose If I Have a Wide Nose?

Back to blog

You may be wondering what sunglasses to choose if I am a woman with a wide nose ? The nose is one of the focal points of the face. It is usually the first thing we look at when we meet someone. If your nose is flat or aquiline, don't worry, sunglasses are the ally you need.

Diana Vreeland says , “If you have a long nose, embrace it and make it your trademark.” The important thing is that you feel comfortable with your appearance. Add points to your unique features and follow our tips to choose sunglasses that suit you.

Tips for choosing sunglasses if you are a woman with a wide nose

Can glasses soften facial features? Yes, and it depends on the style of the frame. If you have large cheekbones, you will see that they become more refined with aviator-style or teardrop-shaped glasses.

The same goes for your nose. If it's wide, large frames with a thin bridge are best. Wide frames reduce the width of your nose, and a thin bridge will make your nose look smaller. Check out these tips.

1. Find the balance

When we talk about balance, we refer to the size of the frames in relation to the size of your nose. It is important that the proportions do not exceed both extremes:

  1. Very large glasses : they take up a lot of space on the face and leave the nose exposed.
  2. Very small designs : frames that are smaller than the nose increase their dimensions.

So, which ones should you choose? Choose those that are somewhere between the sizes of your face and nose . When your face is long and your nose is large, opt for wide glasses with a narrow bridge:

2. Glasses with the ideal bridge

The bridge is responsible for keeping the frame in place, its support comes from where the nose begins. Let's look at some tips to determine which is the right bridge for glasses for a large woman's nose :

4. Pay attention to the material

Very dense or heavy materials are uncomfortable to wear, especially in the nose area. This is where most of the weight of sunglasses falls. Frames with flexible materials are more adaptable and comfortable in the nasal area.

Opt for materials such as acetate and titanium :
