Spring is around the corner and it is almost time to bring those sunglasses out. If you have a perfect pair of sunglasses, the one that you were destined to be with, congratulations! You are in the minority. For the rest of us who need to go shopping, here are some tips on how to choose the perfect sunglasses for you.
Now, the challenge with sunglasses is that not all of them suit everyone. There are some that just fit better for certain face shapes. Gilt Man does a great job outlining those in the video shown at the bottom of this article. The summary of the video on how to find the perfect sunglasses is here:
Choosing a sunglass if you have a round face
If you have a round face, try to avoid a sunglass that is round. Try to go for something square. If you don’t, it will only accentuate the roundness.
Choosing a sunglass if you have a triangular face
If you have a triangular face, go with something square again.
Choosing a sunglass if you have a square face
If you have a square face, you have some leeway. You can go with something either round or square. The most important thing though, you need to make sure that the scale of the sunglasses fits your face.
Choosing a sunglass that matches every face type
There is one sunglass frame that fits almost all face shapes. Those are the wayfarer sunglasses. They have become very popular due to its shape. It is a bit rounded, a bit angular and a little bit square, all at the same time.
