19Choosing new glasses or sunglasses changes the way you look.Glasses are not purely a functional thing to help you see more clearly, they also say something about your personality and individuality. You’ve got to feel good about wearing them, which is why more of us are choosing designer glasses and designer sunglasses.
There is no end to the number of different frames available in a neverending selection of colours, materials and shapes.The seemingly endless options can be a little overwhelming.You should know what sort of image you want to present before choosing new designer glasses.A reserved, sensible look might be best for glasses which are primarily worn at work. If you want to make a statement and go for bright unrestrained glasses there are dozens of recognised designer brands out there, including Prada glasses for example that combine an intrinsic sense of style with the name recognition that is more of a fashion and lifestyle statement. Whichever way you lean, choose designer glasses to suit the shape of your face and not just your outfits or your desired social standing.The same goes for buying new designer sunglasses.
Oval shaped or rounded frames are best suited to a square face.Smaller, rounded or square frames suit those whose face is narrower at the bottom than the top. Avoid styles that are wider at the top as these will accentuate the face shape rather than balance it and look at styles without decorative detail on the temples as this will have the same effect. Round Faces with a fairly short, wide forehead, full cheeks and a rounded chin will benefit from styles that are wider. Styles that have small round shapes and very large frames will make your face look rounder and should be avoided.
If your face is a basic oval shape with a slightly wider forehead, curved jaw and high cheekbones you’re lucky and can take your pick of any style as most will suit you. Long faces with high cheekbones and a deep forehead will suit wide frames and a strong top line.The perfect frames for an oval shaped face are large square shapes, though avoid smaller squares. If your forehead is narrower than your jaw then bolder, more adventrous frames will look good on you, but you should avoid narrower styles.
With designer sunglasses in particular, remember that, aside from making you look good, the primary role of these items is still to protect your eyes from the harmful effects of UV radiation.If at all possible try the glasses on before buying to be sure of the comfort and style.Lastly never forget that although a designer label is a fashion statement, at the end of the day it’s only your own opinion that matters, as long as you feel comfortable with your choice it’s the right one!
