The sun can be a very deadly thing. It attacks us from above, burning our skin and retinas. We fight back with sunscreen, but the best way to protect our eyes is with sunglasses. Now you could buy any old pair of sunglasses, but why not add a bit of style to your outfit? Designer sunglasses are the way to go, especially considering they usually provide more UV protection than your standard sunglasses. Yes, they’re going to be a bit expensive, but when you’re talking about protection for your eyes, don’t you want to get the best for them?
In order to buy your designer sunglasses, you will first need to determine the shape of your face. Different sunglasses are made for different types of face. With that in mind, refer to the chart below:
Square: People with this type of face have a strong jaw line, a broad forehead, and a square chin. If you have this type of face then you will be able to make use of oval and round frames. In contrast, stay away from square shaped glasses, as these will not mesh well with your face.
Oval: Those with an oval face will be more balanced, with a narrow chin and high cheekbones. The best part about oval shaped face is that all fame types will work with them. Whether you want oval, round, or square frames, you’re in luck.
Oblong: The name says it all, oblong faces tend to do better with taller frames.
Diamond: A person with this type of face will find that they have a narrow eye line, as well as a narrow jaw line. The cheekbones are dramatic, and the entire face is angular. Because of this, it is advisable to wear angled glasses, such as cat eyed glasses. The idea here is to avoid anything that will draw attention to your eye line.
