| SKIN TONE
Pale Complexions
We recommend trying lightweight frames like those with a touch of
color such as a rose or amber. Tortoiseshell frames look great on
persons with fair complexions (avoid darker versions) but clear, blue
or green tinged frames may drain color from cheeks.
Dark Complexions
Olive Mediterranean, Golden or Asian skin and dark hair look stunning
in silver, gold or clear frames. Avoid black, which can be too heavy
for your complexion.
Choosing
The Right Pair Of Sunglasses To Fit Your Face Shape And Your
Sense Of Style
While oversized sunglasses are all the rage these days,
there are a wide variety of shapes, sizes and styles to choose
from. Choosing the right size and shape for your face will
help you put across the best image. With that in mind, here’s
a rough guide to help you choose the right pair.
The Proportion Principle
The rule of thumb is simple: people with smaller faces
should choose smaller designer sunglasses, while people with
larger faces should choose sunglasses with larger frames. Fine
artists pay attention to the principle of proportion when
creating their works of art; choosing sunglasses that are
appropriate for your facial size and shape, you become a work
of art!
Contrast
Another artistic principle is the concept of contrast. If
you have a round face, sunglasses with rectangular frames make
a nice counterpoint. Sunglasses with rounder frames may offset
a longer, rectangular face. If you wear lipstick or rouge, you
need to consider if your sunglass frames compliment these.
Anything goes, and rules were meant to be broken. Have fun
finding a pair that creates the image you want to put across.
NOSE SIZE.
Follow these tips below if you have a large, long, or small
nose.
Large Nose
A large nose will shrink when adorned with large, oversize
frames. Avoid small frames that accentuate your nose. And
since oversized (Women Specific) frames are so "in" right now,
it will be easy to find the perfect pair!
Long Nose
Try out a pair of frames that have high sidebars, drawing
attention upward toward the temples and away from the nose.
Tip: A double bridge or low bridges help a nose appear
shorter.
Small Nose
A high bridge in a light color will lengthen your nose and
also give a nose that is small in proportion to the rest of
the face, a bigger presence. Don't be scared to try oversized
(Women Specific) frames - think celebrities with cute noses
hiding behind oversized glasses! |
