The Crazy Daisies: I wear my sunglasses at night..

Dreaming of the sunshine?

So are we. While we have all been waiting for the sunshine to descend upon us, sunglasses have crept into our purses.

How do you find the right pair of frames to help protect those gorgeous eyes of yours?

Choosing the right sunglasses for your face

Getting the Right Fit

The sunglass size should be in proportion with the face size. This means that smaller sunglasses are best for smaller faces; larger sunglasses for larger faces.
The frame shape should contrast with, that is, be the opposite of, the shape of the face.
These tips must not be taken as rules but they can help you to choose your right frame.

FACES

	Oval face Almost any style works for oval face. Experiment with the latest looks, such as wraparounds or shields. Square shaped frames with gently rounded edges Frame suggestions : Any frame shape
	Round face Frames should make the face appear longer and thinner. In general, look for frames equal to or slightly wider than the broadest part of the face. Minimize the curves and add definition with soft, angular, rectangular styles or double brow styles. Higher temples will create a longer profile. Sunglasses with brow bars also pull the eye upward, making the face appear longer. Frame suggestions : Wider frames with angular / rectangular styles
	Diamond face This face shape has wide or high cheekbones with a narrow forehead and chin. Oval sunglasses will soften the contour of the face, although softly curved square frames will work as well. Make sure the styles are no wider than the top of the cheekbones. Frame suggestions : Oval, Square
	Squared face This face shape consists of a strong jawline, a broad forehead and wide cheekbones. Reduce the angles with soft, curvy styles that will give the face some definition such as Cat Eye styles. The classic ovals also works well for this face shape. Frame suggestions : Oval or Round, Cat Eyes.
	Oblong face Widen and shorten the face with sunglass styles that do not extend beyond the widest part of the face. Round or Square shapes will look great on this face. Frames with short horizontal and long vertical lines also work. Decorative or contrasting temples add width to the face. Frame suggestions : Round, Square
	Triangle-shaped face This face has a narrow jaw and a wide forehead. Soften the lower portion of the face by accenting the eye area. Styles such as cat-eye should angle outward at the top corner and be wide enough to balance the jawline. You can also try metal frames with rimless bottom. Frame suggestions : Frames with a straight top line, Cat Eyes.

Charlotte and Leah love the colourful shades whereas I stick to more basic brown. The sunglasses some of us wear change from year to year, depending on what we like. So if you have a round face and want to wear a cat eye frame because you have loved them ever since you saw Marilyn Monroe wear them, go ahead and walk proudly. :)

We tend to stick to shades $30.00 and under, as they get lost, sat on, misplaced or tossed in a lake.
