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, 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). You are best to avoid buying designer sunglasses that have a similar frame shape to that of your face. I golden rule is to look for small glasses for a small face and larger glasses for a larger face. 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, decorative or contrasting temples can achieve an illusion of width. I'm sure you will also consider your hairstyle and colour when choosing your new designer sunglasses but I'm not about to go on about that as I'm sure you already know that, especially if you already wear ordinary glasses. I wish you well with your search and sincerely hope you find what you are looking for.Carrie runs an excellent online designer sunglasses and designer goggles store.
