The best sunglasses for square faces are round, oval, or aviator styles that soften a strong jawline and broad forehead with curved lines.

### Recommended Frame Shapes

- Round Frames: The circular curves contrast against sharp angular features to create balance. - Aviators: The classic teardrop shape draws attention downward and offsets a strong jaw. - Soft Cat-Eye: The slight upward sweep defines cheekbones while rounded bottom rims keep the overall look smooth.

Oliver Peoples is my pick if you want something that looks expensive without shouting the brand; its current UK collection includes the iconic Sheldrake and boutiques in London. www.oliverpeoples.comwww.apartstyle.com

Tom Ford is better if you want people to notice the glasses-its distinctive hardware and stronger shapes make it more of a fashion accessory. www.oliverpeoples.comwww.apartstyle.com

Persol is probably the sweet spot between luxury and everyday wear. GQ currently highlights the PO8003V at around £373, while other Persol optical frames can be considerably less depending on retailer. www.gq-magazine.co.uk

The best British-made sunglasses are:

- Cubitts - Excellent everyday frames with classic British styling; look for models explicitly marked “Made in England.” - Cutler and Gross - Premium, highly distinctive eyewear with strong craftsmanship and a long-established British design identity. - Finlay & Co - Stylish London-based designs, including distinctive wood frames; some production uses Italian craftsmanship, so check each model's origin. - Gucewicz Eyewear - London-made luxury frames in unusual materials such as horn, camel bone, steel and mammoth tusk. - Eyevan? - Avoid assuming a British brand means British manufacture; verify the individual frame's country of production before buying. - Sunwise - A good choice for affordable British sports sunglasses; the company is based in Oxford, though “British brand” does not necessarily mean every frame is UK-made. - Moscot? - Popular in Britain but not British-made; included here only as a reminder to distinguish British brands from British manufacture.

Best overall: Cubitts for understated everyday wear. Best luxury choice: Cutler and Gross. Best unusual/artisanal choice: Gucewicz. Best sports/value option: Sunwise.

Check the product page for “Made in England” or “Made in Britain” rather than relying on the brand's nationality, since several British eyewear labels manufacture frames overseas.
