Good Tips To Buying Designer Sunglasses That Flatter Your Face

By: Carrie Westengate

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!

You first need to work out what your basic face shape is and this is where your friend comes in as they may see it more clearly than you. Make sure you get the right colour lens to suit your skin colourings. For instance, light coloured rose or amber tints may suit pale skins while silver, gold or clear suit a darker skin. Be careful on what you choose if you are looking to use your sunglasses for a particular sport though, and take advice as there may be other considerations to take into account.

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.

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. 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.

If your face is squarer, you need to softened the outline a little so try an oval shape frame. Should you face be more 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.

Choosing your new designer sunglasses sounds more complicated than it is, particularly when you start to consider your hairstyle and hair colour. I'm not going to go into that, as I consider you are likely to know this already, particularly if you already wear glasses. Good luck with your search and I hope you find what you are looking for.
