Aviators suit more face shapes than almost any other style, because the teardrop lens is widest at the brow and narrows toward the cheek. The part to get right is size: the frame should be about as wide as your face at the temples, and the bottom of the lens should clear your cheeks when you smile.
Metal aviators sit on adjustable nose pads, so their height can be set on your face. The Aviator Total and the Retro Trendy pair adjustable pads with a low bridge fit. The Retro Aviator keeps the classic proportions with balanced temples.
For the full picture, read the aviator sunglasses guide, and the piece on nose pads for glasses if your current pair keeps sliding.
Do aviator sunglasses suit every face shape?
Close to it, which is why the shape has lasted. The teardrop lens is wider at the top than the bottom, so it softens a square jaw and adds length to a round face. The one group that needs care is long faces, where a deeper lens can lengthen the face further.
Why do aviators slide down more than other shapes?
Because most aviators are metal, and metal frames carry their weight on two small nose pads rather than a molded bridge. If the pads sit too high or too wide, the frame drops. Pads that can be adjusted fix that, and a low bridge pattern means less adjustment is needed to start with.
Are aviator sunglasses unisex?
Yes. Aviator is the least gendered shape in eyewear. Choose by frame width rather than by the men or women label: the outer edge of the frame should reach roughly to the outer edge of your face.
Should I choose metal or acetate for an aviator?
Metal, in almost every case. The thin rim and the double bridge are the shape, and acetate cannot hold that line without thickening it into something else. Metal also brings adjustable nose pads, which is what keeps an aviator sitting where it should.
