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!
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).
Generally speaking if you have a small face, wear smaller glasses and if you have a larger face, wear larger glasses. Do not choose your designer sunglasses that have a similar frame shape to your face, just imagine what it would like if you had a squarish angular face and choose large square specs, not a good mix.
For those of you who have an oval face, lucky things, as most shapes will suit you but wider frames would look much more appealing. If you have a round face shape though, go for a more rectangular pair of wide sunglasses to make your face look thinner and choose a narrower frame if you have a heart-shaped face.
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 wearing either round or square glasses that add width, for example, decorative or contrasting temples can achieve an illusion of width.
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.
