Sunglasses, They Make You Look Great!

Buying designer sunglasses online can be a nightmare, particularly when you are concerned whether a particular shape would best suit you. However, if you apply a few rules to your choice and pick an online store that offers a good returns service just in case you change your mind you shouldn’t go wrong.

Firstly, you need to determine your basic face shape, if you are a little unsure, ask a friend what the dominant shape is. Choose the colour of the lens you would like, but make sure it complements your skin tone. Commonly, lightly coloured rose or amber lenses may suit a pale skin while clear, silver or gold lenses are more suited to a darker skin. However, if you require your new sunglasses for a particular sport, take advice on that aspect (for example, yellow are good for golf but special frame considerations are required for other sports such as cycling).

Basically, if your face is small look for smaller glasses and if your face is larger look for larger glasses. Don’t choose designer sunglasses with a similar frame shape to your dominant face shape as it is unlikely to work.

Let’s start with the curvier faces. If yours is round, go opposite and get a rectangular pair of wider sunglasses as these will make your face look thinner. However, head for a narrower frame if your face is heart-shaped. Should you be lucky enough to have an oval face, you are indeed fortunate as most of the shapes will suit you, particularly wider frames.

If you have a more angular diamond shaped face with a small forehead and chin but high cheekbones, you may find that a narrow oval shape will complement your face better as they will balance the shape. A square frame with rounded corners may work well, but make sure that the glasses do not extend past the crest of the cheekbone. To soften the chin for a triangular shaped face, go for something that draws attention to the eyes such as an oval, perhaps with just an upper metal frame.

Squarer faces need to have the face softened a little, so again try an oval shape frame. If you face is more of an oblong the shape will be balanced by either round or square glasses that add width, for example, an illusion of width can be obtained by decorative or contrasting temples.

People wear designer sunglasses nearly year-round, particularly if they drive so things like considering your hairstyle and hair colour should already be done. I’m not going to go into hairstyles as I consider you are likely to know this already, particularly if you already wear glasses. Mega luck with your search and I hope you find your ideal sunglasses.
