Sunglass Style - Sunnies maketh the Woman...Here's how to maketh You!
6 November 2008
Your Complexion:>/b>
<b>Fair?
Try lightweight frames or those with a touch of colour such as rose or amber. Tortoiseshell frames suit fair complexions (avoid darker versions).
Dark?
Hints of silver, gold or clear frames will look good but avoid black which can be a bit hit and miss...too heavy sometimes.
Your face shape:
Oval face?
Almost any style works for an oval face. Square shaped sunnies with gently rounded edges and higher temples also look good on an oval face.
Sunglass suggestions: Try Jezebelle or Yvette.
Round face?
Sunglasses should make your face appear longer and thinner. In general, look for frames equal to or slightly wider than the broadest part of your face. Minimize curves and add definition with soft, angular, rectangular styles or double brow styles. Sunglasses with brow bars also pull the eye upward, making the face appear longer.
Sunglass suggestions: Wider frames with angular or rectangular styles - try Luna.
Diamond shape?
This face shape has wide or high cheekbones with a narrow forehead and chin. Oval sunglasses will soften the contour of the face, although softly curved square frames will work as well. Make sure the styles are no wider than the top of your cheekbones.
Sunglass suggestions: Oval, Square, Rimless - try Yvette.
Square face?
This face shape consists of a strong jawline, a broad forehead and wide cheekbones. Reduce angles with soft, curvy styles that will give your face some definition. Classic ovals works well for this face shape.
Sunglass suggestions: Oval, Round – try Yvette.
Oblong face?
Widen and shorten the face with sunglass styles that do not extend beyond the widest part of the face. Round or square shapes will look great on this face. Frames with short horizontal and long vertical lines also work. Decorative or contrasting temples add width to the face.
Sunglass suggestions: Round, Square – try Yvette
Triangle shape?
This face shape has a narrow jaw and a wide forehead. Soften the lower portion of your face by accenting the eye area. Look for styles that angle outward at the top corner and wide enough to balance the jawline. You can also try metal frames with rimless bottoms.
Sunglass suggestions: Frames with a Straight Top Line.
Hope you found your face shape and the mystery of what sunglasses to wear to suit. I'm off for a rest!
