Aside from a fab coat of lipgloss, a fedora and your tot by your side every mom must also own a fab pair of sunglasses….there is nothing like putting on a hot pair of sunglasses to enhance your poshness, so today I’m going to fill you in on what trending this Spring 2014: Sunglasses and how to find the perfect frame to fit your face.
Finding Your Face…The shape of your face is one of the biggest factors to consider when searching for your perfect pair of shades, so it’s worth establishing this before you set out.
Take a picture of yourself looking dead straight into the camera and then trace the outline of your face with straight lines.
Then your face is slightly longer than it is round — most shapes of sunglasses will suit you. They should be as wide as, or slightly wider than, the widest part of your face. Cat eye sunglasses look great on an oval face.
If your face is LONG….
Then your face is thin and a good bit longer than it is wide — wear square or rectangular glasses with strong frames. Also, sunglasses that wrap around the face are flattering because they won’t stick out too far from the temples.
If your face is ROUND…
Then your face is almost as wide as it is long — wear square or rectangular sunglasses. Frames that are slightly wider than your face will make it seem smaller. Avoid round or oversized shapes.
If your face is SQUARE…
Then you have a wide forehead and a prominent, square jaw — wear rounded glasses for balance.
If your face is HEART…
Then you have a wide forehead and a small chin — wear subtle or rimless frames to balance your chin. Don’t wear them too big or too wide at the temple.
If your face is DIAMOND…
This is the rarest face shape, and the aim here is to draw attention to the eyes, giving this area more width and balancing the face. To highlight the eyes and soften the cheekbones, try frames that have detailing or distinctive brow lines – consider rimless or semi-rimless, frames or oval and cat-eye shapes.
