For example, if you have round face, then rectangular frames can be used to bring balance and those with square face are advised to use round or oval frames. For heart-shaped faces, it is best to wear cat-eye or round sunglasses so that it will not emphasize the wideness of the forehead.

Secondly, you should reflect on your style. Y2K aesthetic is characterized by its boldness and one could say provocativeness of designs. Ranging from the thin and rectangular to the colorful and wrap around styles, the options are many.

If you want to be a little bold, then a colorful pair or large frames will be just perfect for you.
