Coach Sunglasses Face Shape Guide: Square, Round or Cat Eye

The simplest Coach sunglasses face shape rule is to choose a frame that contrasts with your own outline. Square frames add angles to round faces, round frames soften square jaws, and cat eye frames lift heart-shaped and oval faces. Fit matters as much as shape, so this guide also explains the frame measurements to check before ordering online.

Work out your face shape first

Tie your hair back and stand in front of a mirror in even light. Compare four things: the width of your forehead, the width of your cheekbones, the width of your jaw, and the length of your face from hairline to chin.

A round face is about as wide as it is long, with a soft jaw. A square face has a forehead and jaw of similar width and a defined jawline. A heart face is widest at the forehead and narrows to the chin.

An oval face is longer than it is wide with a gently rounded jaw. An oblong face is longer again, with fairly straight sides. Few people fit one category exactly, so pick the closest and treat the advice below as a starting point.

Coach sunglasses face shape matching: square, round or cat eye

These are styling conventions, so use them as guidance. If you already own a pair that suits you, its shape is a better predictor than any chart.

Coach round vs square sunglasses

We list two plain square Coach frames. The Coach Hinged Horse And Carriage Square Sunglasses come in Black, from RM 879 at the time of writing. The Coach Signature Oversized Square Sunglasses are listed in Black/Black Signature, from RM 989.

Both are reasonable picks for round and oval faces. The oversized pair is the one to look at if your face is long or you prefer a larger frame. "Oversized" is a style name, so confirm the actual size on the product page.

The round option is the Coach Horse And Carriage Round Sunglasses in Black, from RM 929. Round lenses are the usual choice for square and angular faces because the curve offsets a straight jaw. On a round face they repeat the curve, which some people like and others find makes the face look fuller.

If you are stuck between the two, look at your jawline. When the jaw is the strongest line on your face, try round. When your cheeks are the widest and softest part, try square.

Coach cat eye sunglasses: a square cat eye option

The Coach Maxi Sculpted C Square Cat Eye Sunglasses are listed in Milky Pink, from RM 929. The name describes a square frame with cat eye corners, so it sits between the two shapes.

That mix suits heart and oval faces. It can also work on a round face, since you get the lift at the outer corners along with straighter edges. Milky Pink is a lighter colour than the three black frames above, which is worth weighing if you want one pair to wear with most of your clothes.

How to read frame measurements when buying online

Eyewear sizes are usually given as three figures in millimetres: lens width, bridge width and temple length. Lens width is one lens measured across its widest point. Bridge width is the gap between the two lenses over your nose.

Temple length is the arm, measured from the hinge to the tip that sits behind your ear. Some listings add lens height, which tells you how far the frame reaches down the cheek.

The easiest way to use these figures is to compare them with a pair you already own and like. Many frames have the figures printed inside one arm. If yours do not, measure the same points with a ruler.

Lens width and bridge width together tell you how wide the frame will sit. A frame much narrower than your face at the temples will pinch, and one much wider will slide. Bridge width affects how high the frame sits on your nose, so check it closely if sunglasses tend to rest on your cheeks or slip down.

Check each product page for the listed measurements, lens details and materials before you order. If a figure you need is missing, send the product link to our WhatsApp at +1 603 440 9886 and ask.

Ordering, delivery and returns

All four frames are Pre-Order items. We buy them from the US store after you order, and they take about 30 days to reach you. You get a status update at each step: Bought, In transit, Arrived, Delivered.

Pre-Order items can be paid with a 50% deposit. The cart and checkout show what you pay today and when the balance is due. If the US store sells out before we secure your pair, we tell you and refund everything you paid for it, including the deposit.

Shape is hard to judge from photos, so read the returns terms before you buy. Returns are accepted within 30 days of delivery, including change of mind. A change-of-mind return must be in new condition, carries a restocking fee of 10% of the total paid, and the cost of shipping it back to the seller is deducted from your refund.

Exchanges are only for items that arrive damaged, so a different shape means a return and a new order. When the sunglasses arrive, try them on indoors and keep all the packaging until you have decided. Full terms are in our Refund & Returns Policy.

Delivery is free within Peninsular Malaysia. Sabah, Sarawak and Labuan pay RM21 per item, with free delivery over RM2,200. For every other destination, the shipping charge is shown at checkout before you pay.
