STYLE CHECK - WITH SUNGLASSES.

SUNGLASSES-SELECT YOUR STYLE 

Let’s start with some look book inspiration to help get those creative juices flowing and give you an idea of the style of frame you want:

  

FIRST OF ALL START WITH THE FINDING YOUR FACE:

The shape of your face is one of the biggest factors to consider when searching for your perfect pair of shades, so it’s worth establishing this before you set out.

Take a picture of yourself looking dead straight into the camera and then trace the outline of your face with straight lines. Compare it to one of the examples below and go from there.

However, please remember that this is only a rough guide – it might give you clues as to what should suit you but it isn't the be all and end all.

1-SQUARE SHAPE FACE

A strong jaw line and wide cheekbones suit rounded or aviator style frames. For those of you with particularly strong features: the bigger the better. More delicate faces should stick to smaller or medium sized options.

Rectangular shaped frames with softer edges are another good choice but be sure to keep detailing to a minimum to let your natural features shine through.

  2-ROUND SHAPE FACE

 With a rounded face you should be looking to create as much definition as possible. Make your cheeks appear slimmer with frames that are slightly wider than your face – angular styles will help to elongate your temples and lengthen your face.

Find a frame that offers multiple sizes (wayfarers are a prime example) and go for the largest. Avoid mimicking your face shape with round frames and opt for solid acetate styles to create a defined silhouette.

3-OBLONG FACE SHAPES

To give your face a sense of balance, look for glasses that don’t extend beyond the widest part of your face. Round or square frames will work well here but make sure you go for larger styles to avoid making your features look small.

Aviator styles are a good option as the tear drop silhouette helps to accentuate cheek and jaw bones. Make sure the frames are the right size for your face to avoid looking like you've nicked someone else’s.

                                                                     FINALLY

Finding the perfect pair of sunglasses can seem like a daunting task, but it is definitely a challenge worth undertaking. Not only is it hugely important that we protect our peepers from the sun but they can also become a trademark of your personal style.

Take time over your search and try as many different styles as possible. This article is a rundown of the basic principles but the act of finding that special pair will be much more personal.

Once you've found them, wear them with pride – just not when it’s raining, not sunny, inside or at night.
