Our fashion editor's guide to finding the best frames for your face shape – from prescription glasses to holiday shades
Figure out your face shape If you're not sure which frame suits you, first work out your face shape. Compare the width of your forehead, cheekbones and jaw in the mirror. A square face has a similar width to the forehead, cheekbones and jaw, while a round face has cheekbones wider than the forehead or jawline. A diamond-shaped face has a narrow forehead and jaw, with the cheekbones the widest point. Got it? Now choose your look!

The Best Women's Sunglasses of Summer 2025
Nothing makes you feel quite as if summer has arrived like a new pair of sunglasses. In theory, finding the perfect pair shouldn't be too difficult. In reality, choosing frames that complement your features and reflect a bit of personality can be a frustrating task. In honor of National Sunglasses Day, which marks the Vision Council's effort to encourage people to protect their eyes from the sun's ultraviolet light, we've prepared a cheat sheet of this season's biggest trends. But in this, as in all things, it's important not to sacrifice function to form. So choose a width and shape that flatters your face and feels effortless. A quick rule of thumb: Anyone with round and soft features should look for strong, angular frames; those with a square- or heart-shaped face should seek a softer, rounder shape. And if you're prone to headaches after a few hours of wear, make sure you choose a pair with nose pads.

Lenskart to File its DRHP with SEBI via Public Route
The Peyush Bansal-led startup has also taken clear steps towards going public by changing its name from Lenskart Solutions Private Limited to Lenskart Solutions Limited, following approval from its existing shareholders. You're reading Entrepreneur India, an international franchise of Entrepreneur Media. Lenskart, the omnichannel eyewear maker, is reportedly taking the public route to file its draft red herring prospectus (DRHP), according to a report by MoneyControl. It was earlier speculated that the company might take the confidential route that does not reveal all the details related to the listing. The Peyush Bansal-led startup has also taken clear steps towards going public by changing its name from Lenskart Solutions Private Limited to Lenskart Solutions Limited, following approval from its existing shareholders. According to the report, Lenskart is planning to file DRHP with the market regulator, Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI), in the first half of July, with earlier reports suggesting the process to be done in May. The company, however, has not disclosed any details regarding going public. The reports also state that Lenskart has chosen its banking partners for the issue, namely, Kotak, Axis Capital, Citi, Morgan Stanley, and Avendus. The listing is poised to raise USD 1 billion at a valuation of USD 10 billion. Earlier reports of Lenskart filing papers in May came after the company's top brass, Peyush Bansal, and key investors in the company had reportedly discussed matters around valuation with the banking institutions managing the potential billion-dollar listing. The reports, however, also said that the plans to go public were still based on market conditions closer to tentative dates. The company valuation that Lenskart is eyeing will be double its value during the last Series I, USD 262 million, plus an undisclosed sum funding round led by the likes of ChrysCapital, Infinity Partners, Chiratae Ventures, and Aditya Birla Capital. The eyewear retail unicorn, currently Series I, has previously raised USD 231 million in Series G funding from Tokyo-based SoftBank Vision Fund in its largest-ever funding round in 2019. This was followed by another USD 220 million in 2021 led by Alpha Wave Global, Temasek, Chiratae Ventures, Technology Venture Partners, IFC, and Bay Capital, with financial services firm Avendus facilitating both rounds, according to Tracxn. The 2021 funding round took Lenskart to a valuation of USD 2.4 billion with recorded revenue of USD 165 million, almost double the USD 1.4 billion in 2019. The company is now at USD 5.6 billion in valuation as of November 2024, with the FY2023-24 revenue recorded at USD 678.8 million. Lenskart currently is the market leader in its sector in India, with a 79 per cent market share, with retail stores across Southeast Asia, the Middle East, and the USA. The company's recent focus on the mass premium eyewear segment has also allowed it to compete with players such as Titan Eye.

10 best sunglasses for women, recommended by a stylist
With sunny summer days ahead of us, now's the time to update your sunglasses collection. This year's trending styles come in the form of fun eyewear with statement details and twists on classic designs. While the best sunglasses for you will depend on your taste, you may also want to consider which styles are most likely to suit your face shape. If you have more of a triangular face, consider 'enhancing your features with round or square oversized frames', says Daphnée Duchatel from French eyewear brand Jimmy Fairly. If your face is rounder, 'a thinner cat-eye frame is preferred. With the 1990s skinny sunglasses trend resurfacing, this style breaks up the roundness of your features by elongating and softening the face', adds Duchatel. Finally, 'oval sunglasses are ideal for square face shapes, as they help soften and balance angular features'. With all this in mind, keep scrolling for my pick of the best sunglasses from high street favourites, designer brands and lesser-known labels. How we tested I tested several pairs of sunglasses on sunny days. Looking for on-trend styles and classic designs that will stand the test of time, I considered how much protection each pair offers, how good they look, whether they feel comfy on the nose and behind the ears, and if they are likely to slip during sweaty heatwaves.
