Fashion Sunglasses
GET THE RIGHT FIT The sunglasses size should be in proportion
to the size of the face. This means that smaller sunglasses are best for smaller
faces; larger sunglasses for larger faces. The frame's shape should contrast
with, that is, be the opposite of, the shape of the face.
CHOOSE THE RIGHT FRAME Oval face: Almost any style works for
an oval face. Experiment with the latest looks, such as wraparounds or shields.
Square-shaped frames with gently rounded edges and higher temples also look
good on an oval face. Frame suggestions: Any frame shape.
Round face: Frames should make the face appear longer and thinner.
In general, look for frames equal to or slightly wider than the broadest part
of the face. Minimise the curves and add definition with soft, angular, rectangular
styles or double brow styles. Higher temples will create a longer profile. Sunglasses
with brow bars also pull the eye upward, ma face appear longer. Frame suggestions:
Wider frames with rectangular styles.
Diamond shape: This face shape has wide or high cheekbone with
a narrow forehead and chin. Oval sunglasses will soften the contour of the face,
although softly curved square frame work as well. Make sure the styles are no
wider than the top of the cheekbones. Frame suggestions: Oval, square, rimless.
Square face: This face shape consists of a strong jaw broad
forehead and wide cheekbones. Reduce the angles with curvy styles that will
give the face some definition such as cat-eye styles. The classic ovals also
work well for this face shape. Frame suggestions: Oval, Round, Cat Eyes.
Oblong face: Widen and shorten the face with sunglass styles
that do not extend beyond the widest part of the face. Round a 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. Frame
suggestions. Round or Square.
Triangle shape: This face has a narrow jaw and a wide forehead.
Soften the lower portion of the face by accenting the eye arts Styles such as
cat-eyes should angle outward at the top corer and be wide enough to balance
the jawline. You can also try metal frames with rimless bottoms. Frame suggestions:
Frames with Straight Top Line, Cat Eyes.
