Are you in the know about the best pair
of Sunglasses for you?
Sunglasses are as key to your total look as any other accessory….maybe even more important! As we Tomatoes become a little less young…disguising some of those lovely lines that now seem to surround our eyes is a must. Sunglasses are no longer a luxury but a necessity to protect your precious eyes. One pair is really not sufficient for your wardrobe when you realize how often you are wearing them. They are available in all shapes and sizes as well as all price points. The defining moment in selecting the appropriate pair of sunglasses will happen after you have probably tried on a variety of different sizes, shapes and colors. When you have on the perfect pair you will know…because it looks like you…but maybe a little more glamorous…a bit more modern… or a tad more sporty. Keep trying until the mirror says “wow”! Then you must prepare for your sunglass wardrobe: everyday, sporty, beach, and party looks.
Key shapes and things to remember:
- Round frames usually look best on a more angular face.
- Angular frames will slim a round face.
- Square or wide frames are complementary on many shapes including oval shaped faces but not square shaped faces.
- Oval frames work best on tomatoes with a square face…..they will elongate your face.
- Batwing or butterfly shaped (Peggy Guggenheim looks) are best to bring out the diva in a Tomatoe. These are fun looks for parties.
- Neutral, tortoise or black frames are a must in everyone’s wardrobe.
- White glasses are a wonderful summer statement.
- Red, green or purple frames can be great …..make sure they work with your coloring.
- Bejeweled and decorated glasses can be fun for certain occasions.
