what beautiful eyes you have

Dear Members of the Male Species:*
Sunglasses are important, often vital when it comes to protecting our precious eyes.
Other times sunglasses are merely just a fashion statement.
When the time comes to purchase these spectacles it is best to know which size and shape would best fit the size and shape of your head.

So let me help, here's a quick run down for you:**

oval face: almost any style work for an oval face. Experiment with the latest looks, such as wraparounds or shields. Square shaped frames with gently rounded edges and higher temples look good on an oval face.
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 style 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 shape: this face shape has wide or high cheek bones 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, rimless

square 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 definitions such as cat-eye styles. The classic ovals also work well for this face shape.
frame suggestions: oval, round, cat eyes

oblong face: widen and shorten the face with sun glass 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 temple add width to the face.
frame suggestions: round, square

triangle shape: 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-eyes should angle outward at the top corner and be wide enough to balance the jawline. You can also try the metal frames with rimless bottoms.
frame suggestions: frames with a straight top line, cat eyes

When you do decide to shop for these, please make sure you bring a member of the female species to help offer you a lot little guidance. Remember, if she's not the one looking at you, the rest of the world is.

Oh... and one last thing.
Color.
That's very important too.
Never wear white sunglasses. Everything about it is wrong.

Unless of course, you're...
