Sunglasses For Every Shining Face

This one’s for the ladies…

Wondering which sunglasses to go with? With so many styles out there, it is a tough decision. Here are a few pointers to get you headed in the right direction and help you whittle down your choices.

First, take a little (or long) look in the mirror. What type of face shape do you have? An oval face, heart-shaped face, square face or round face? Each of these shapes are easy to identify (they are just like they sound) except the heart-shaped face. So small explanation of the heart-shaped face: the forehead and cheekbones are wide and the chin is narrow.

Now that you have admired your beauty and classified your face… moving on to what sunglasses are best suited for your face shape.

If you have decided that you have an oval face (like Jessica Alba), you can get away with almost anything. Usually, the best sunglasses shapes tend to be square, but feel free to experiment with everything! Try Vanessa (http://www.polaroid-eyewearstore.com/products/VANESSA.html) or Asbury (http://www.polaroid-eyewearstore.com/products/ASBURY.html). For something a little different, try Lillian (http://www.polaroid-eyewearstore.com/products/LILLIAN.html).

For square faces (Demi Moore), you want to stay with round or oval frames.  We suggest Swing (http://www.polaroid-eyewearstore.com/products/SWING.html), Shonda (http://www.polaroid-eyewearstore.com/products/SHONDA.html) or Sherri (http://www.polaroid-eyewearstore.com/products/SHERRI.html).

For those of you sporting a round face like Kirsten Dunst, look for styles that are equal to or slightly wider than the broadest part of your face and in rectangular or square shapes. Personal favorites are Rachel (http://www.polaroid-eyewearstore.com/products/RACHEL.html), Memphis (http://www.polaroid-eyewearstore.com/products/MEMPHIS.html) or Miriam (http://www.polaroid-eyewearstore.com/products/MIRIAM.html).

Last, but certainly not least, for all of you heart-shaped faces out there (like Reese Witherspoon), you can focus on the rounded angular shapes. Try something like the Keisha (http://www.polaroid-eyewearstore.com/products/KEISHA.html) or, if you love vintage/throwback styles the Broadway and Marilyn’s (http://www.polaroid-eyewearstore.com/products/BROADWAY.html and http://www.polaroid-eyewearstore.com/products/MARILYN.html).

Of course, feel free to take a looksy around the site (www.polaroid-eyewearstore.com) and find some of your own favorites! As always, please be sure to alert us to your concerns, happy thoughts, sad thoughts, anger and all other emotions you feel the need to share! Have a great Friday and remember: sunglasses are the perfect accessory to any outfit. (We don’t necessarily condone wearing them at night, but many people sure do look good in them…)
