Sunglasses, They Make You Look Great!

Have you ever purchased designer sunglasses online and wished you hadn’t as they really don’t suit your face? Don’t worry, with a few tips and a good trustworthy friend to help, it’s a piece of cake!

Number one, look at your basic face shape. If you are unsure, ask a good friend their opinion. Pick a colour lens to suit your skin tone, notably amber or light coloured rose tints would suit paler skins while silver or gold a darker skin. If looking for new sunglasses to play particular sports, be aware that some colours are better than others for different sports and that special lenses may be required for pursuits such as mountain climbing or snowboarding.

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.

If you have a round face shape go for a more rectangular pair of wider sunglasses to make your face look thinner, but choose a narrower frame if you have a heart-shaped face. For those of you who have an oval face, lucky things, as most shapes will suit you but wider frames would look more appealing.

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. Square frames with rounded corners may work well, but ensure that the glasses do not extend past the high-point of the cheekbone. You can also soften the chin for triangular shaped faces by going 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.
