7 sunglasses style tips perfect for summer 2018



Summer weather is finally here and all over the country we're cracking out the BBQs or heading down to the beach. Make sure you're ready for the sun with our top tips on the best summer sunglasses styles.

1.Aviators continue to fly off the shelves


Thick-rimmed glasses have dominated style for years. The geek-chic look has become incredibly fashionable, with these glasses becoming commonplace among celebrities on the red carpet.

However, aviator designs have become so popular that they now rival their thick-framed cousins for most popular glasses and sunglasses style. The sheer variety of
different aviator style sunglasses available means that we are seeing more and more as people find shades to match their tastes.

Thin, metal aviator style sunglasses are as popular as ever but chunky plastic frames are just as well-loved. This is perhaps down to the extensive range of colours and patterns that they’re available in, providing you with such a large choice. Currently, marble-inspired designs are increasingly in trend.

2.Thin metal frames work for understated style

If you prefer your accessories to be a little simpler, thin metal frames are perfect. Big and bold looks aren’t to everyone’s tastes and less can so often be more.

You can find many of this season’s trending shapes and sizes with thin metal frames. So, whether you’re into aviators or are more of a round lenses person, you’ll be able to find a subtle pair of sunglasses in an up to date style.aviators

3.Wood detailing for a modern look with an old-school style


Ray-Ban’s latest update on browline glasses includes the option for wood instead of plastic across the brow. This reflects the latest trend in men’s sunglasses, where different frame designs incorporate wooden detailing.

This wooden detailing is a recent trend and on a classic pair of sunglasses, helps to wed a sense of vintage style with a modern design. The result is a great look that is ideal for the coming summer.

4.Round remains cool

Much like aviators, round sunglasses have remained in trend for years. There are so many variations on a simple formula that there’s bound to be a design that suits your face shape and personal style.

Round lenses don’t always mean perfect spheres. Oval and bug eye shapes are also very popular and can be seen on the catwalk and in many of the latest collections. You can also choose to go for rimless frames and pick from a variety of colours of lenses so you get a pair of shades that truly match your style.

5.Classic cat eye styles never go out of date

Since rising to prominence in the 40’s and 50’s, cat eye glasses have endured in popularity among women looking for a glamorous style. The same can be said for sunglasses with this type of frame. Their flared corners have a lifting effect on the face and will always catch the eye, causing their lasting popularity.

This has led for them to be continually included in designer’s collections and are an excellent choice if you have an oval shaped face. Even if you have different kind of face shape they can still help you to achieve an awesome throwback style.

6.Flat tops offer a modern twist

A flat top has become increasingly common in sunglasses design, featuring in many of the latest collections. Flat top sunglasses can come in many forms, including aviators, wayfarers and browline style glasses, bringing a modern twist to classic styles.

They add a strong straight line to the brow for a striking statement that can either be made using the top of the frame or an extra bridge. Whichever type of sunglasses you choose, with a flat top you will be wearing one of the current styles at the moment.

7.Choose the frames you love


Ultimately, the most important thing is to wear something that you feel comfortable in. What looks the best is whatever you enjoy wearing the most. Hopefully our tips gave you a little bit of inspiration to play around with when you’re choosing a new pair of sunglasses and let’s hope we have enough good weather for you to make the most of them!

A Complete Sunglasses Guide

What Shape of Sunglasses Suit My Face Type?

Sunglasses are a must-have possession when it comes to accessories. They protect your eyes and at the same time, serve to make you look stylish. When you choose to buy a good pair of sunglasses, always strive to buy only the best. Branded sunglasses are better choices because they are quality assured and made scientifically. There is a misconception that only reading glasses need to have the best quality lens but even sunglasses should have lenses that are high quality, as it affects vision and health. When it comes to women’s sunglasses, there is a whole variety to choose from, but there are always ways to better know which are the right ones for you!



A Guide to Buying The Right Sunglasses For You

Eye Protection


The first and primary focus should be to choose glasses that will ensure maximum cover for eyes and ensure good eye protection. There is a misconception that the level of eye protection depends on the darkness of the lens but that is not true. The best sunglasses are those that will absorb ultraviolet rays of the sun effectively. Look for such glasses.

Fit


The second factor to choosing the right pair of sunnies is the right fit. If you are buying offline, then you should try it on. It should fit well across the nose bridge. If you are buying sunglasses online, then look for the measurements or the sizing.

Quality


The lens quality is important. So, look at the lens material and read about the features. The frame quality is also an important consideration. When you buy designer sunglasses, you should be assured of all the key factors, along with the stylish design and of course, quality lens and durable frame. The material of the frame can be metal, plastic or even nylon. Since it is the frame that holds the lens together, its structure and quality are of much importance while buying sunglasses.

Lens


See what the material of the lens is. It can be glass, polycarbonate or even plastic. There are also prescription sunglasses for those who are already wearing glasses for myopia or any eye problems. Of course, depending on what additional features you look for in your sunglasses lens, they can be scratch-resistant, anti-reflective or high-contrast lens. Then there are the colors to consider, as you can choose from different colors or just clear glasses.

Tips to Find The Right Sunglasses That Suit Your Face Shape

Oval Face


If your chin is narrower than the forehead, you have an oval face. They are the lucky ones as every type can suit this face shape. So, go wild and choose your favourite! Look for any style from any brand such as these Jimmy Choo sunglasses and enjoy the sun! Louis Vuitton sunglasses also offer many choices when it comes to fashionable sunglasses. An example is the Louis Vuitton Brown Socoa Damier Aviators which are just right for oval faces. The metal frame and the gradient lenses offer great sun protection and the Louis Vuitton design ensure that you look great!

Round


If the width and the length of the face are the same, then you have a round face. Wear wide and rectangular sunglasses and accentuate your round face. Round frames or even the sunglasses with colored lenses should be strictly avoided. There are some great designs from Dior sunglasses for round faces. An example is Dior Brown Black-Tie Rectangle women’s sunglasses. The classic tortoise design adds to its appeal while fading brown lenses lends glamor to your look. The hinges that have a monogrammed silver tone the criss-cross design on the temple gives it a unique style. Certainly, these are the ones worth flaunting.

Square Shape


If your face has well-defined angles in its prominent areas such as jawline, forehead, and cheeks, then you have a square shaped face. Round and oval frames will suit square faces. Never opt for angular sunglasses or even geometric ones. Look at some such as these  Havana SPR27N Baroque Round sunglasses from Prada sunglasses collection. The first thing that will strike you about the glasses is the architectural arms. They have a gold-tone and have round frames. Made from acetate, these glasses are just right to make your own fashion statement. It is not just devils who wear Prada as stylish fashionistas certainly do as well!

Heart-shaped Face


Broader forehead and narrow chin is a heart-shaped face. Opt for round sunglasses or the cat eye shapes one’s. The black FS5143 Cat Eye sunglasses from Fendi sunglasses would be a good choice. They are durable and provide great UV protection, and their black gray shade lends the right style.

Oblong Face


Narrow chin and a long face are qualities of an Oblong face. Go for the oversized frames, but even wrap frames will look super stylish on such faces. For a variety of styles and frames, look amongst Gucci sunglasses and you will be awe-struck. If you have an oblong-face shape, then the Gucci Black GG 3616/S Guccissima oversized sunglasses are the right ones for you. The oversized shape will not only flatter your face but will also add to your style statement. The logo shines on the temple which you can flaunt to draw in awe and admiration.

With such different styles, designs and brands to choose from, buying sunglasses can be fun and a little overwhelming. Just focus on the features, the right shape, and the material and quality of lenses, and then go shade shopping! Look at different brands and see what you like best. Remember, buying sunglasses in not just to look good, but also to protect the best asset of your face– your eyes. So, choose carefully and you will be shining under the sun!

Tiny sunglasses are going to be huge – according to Kanye West



From Joan Crawford to Jackie O, Kate Moss to Kanye West, a pair of sunglasses has long been the accessory weapon of the A list. They are a symbol that says: “I am very famous, and have possibly recently had a facelift.” But, as Kanye himself has recently decreed, “the bigger the better” is no longer the unspoken sunglasses rule. Instead, only tiny ones barely covering your eye sockets are cool now.

Of course, viewers of Keeping Up With the Kardashians would know that already. Kim revealed that her husband, who doubles as her stylist when he’s not busy being the real Kanye, has effectively outlawed big sunglasses. “[Kanye] sent me a whole email like, ‘You cannot wear big glasses any more. It’s all about tiny little glasses,’” she said recently in the show.

Insiders have been reducing the size of their shades for a while now, but the Kardashians wearing them on their eponymous TV show means tiny sunglasses have gone mainstream and – sorry to ruin your summer before it has even begun – that you’ll have to ditch your aviators. This is the latest example of what fashion calls a “tricky trend” – see ugly trainers, vinyl, even skinny jeans – going mass.

The likes of Bella and Gigi Hadid are big fans of small sunglasses. Solange Knowles’s Surface magazine cover, released last week, slays partly because of her skinny red sunglasses. Rihanna wore some on the red carpet last year. None of this means you will have an easy transition to the new shape, however. Even Kardashian, a woman whose physical perfection rates very highly on the golden ratio test, doesn’t look her best pictured in West-approved shades. What hope is there for the rest of us?

Fair to middling, is the answer. These sunglasses should be worn halfway down the nose – Bella Hadid is a master at this – and with a heavy dose of irony (part of the reason Kardashian’s sunglassed shift doesn’t entirely work is that she doesn’t really do irony). Brands to know include George Keburia, which made Solange’s Scarlet Red shades, and Andy Wolf, which did Rihanna’s, though eBay is also worth a look. Your inspiration should come from the late 90s/early 2000s – specifically Trinity in 1999’s The Matrix, played by Carrie-Anne Moss in a pair of spoon-like shades. That doesn’t mean PVC catsuits and floor-length leather macs are set to be the next tricky trend. But, hey, it can only be a matter of time before Kanye decrees it so.

Do You Know How To Pick Sunglasses For Men?

Most men will have a pair of sunglasses for those hot summer months to protect themselves from the harsh glare of the sun and particles that are harmful to the eyes. However, sunglasses can also be worn in other times other than during summer because they are a great fashion accessory. Available in various styles and for various purposes, every buyer would find a pair to suit his needs whether buying for fashion or for their practicality. Outlined below are the various styles, lenses and frames of sunglasses for men that you should know about before shopping for a pair.


The Style

New styles are frequently introduced in the market. Aviator, sports and driving sunglasses are some of the common styles available.

Aviator Sunglasses

Aviator sunglasses are available in various designs. They were very popular some time back before World-War II especially with pilots, thanks to their wide frames which were useful when it came to shading the eyes from the sun's glare. They then became popular with everyone, even non-pilots because they helped achieve a certain fashion look. They are still popular to-date.

Sport Sunglasses

They come in a various designs, but they are all practical when it comes to wearing them during intense physical activity. You can find various sport sunglasses meant for different water sports such as rafting, kayaking, water polo and so on. There are also others meant for parachuting, rock-climbing and other intense sporting actions that require eye-protection.

Driving Sunglasses

These ones are for eye-protection during long hours of driving on the road. They mainly protect the driver from the glare and reflection of light which is harmful to the eye. For adequate protection, driving glasses are normally made from high-contrast lenses that increase the sharpness of an image and minimize the harmful glare.

The Frames

The frames are made from mainly two materials which are plastic and metal. The price, durability and appeal of a sunglass are normally dependent on the material used as the frames.

Plastic Frames

Plastic frames are lightweight, durable and very affordable. So they are able to withstand rough handling. However they can become affected by bending during hot temperatures which can make the wearer feel uncomfortable. A better option than the plastic-framed sunglasses is the nylon-framed sunglasses. The nylon frame variety costs more but is more reliable and stronger compared to plastic.

Metal Frames

They are the strongest and commonly used in many sunglasses of the designer kind. They conduct heat during high temperatures but will rarely bend. However, they are prone to breakage when bent or twisted. These frames simply look great as a part of sunglasses.

The Lenses

These are what make sunglasses to be called sunglasses. They are available in various colors which offer different practical purposes. There are plastic, glass and polycarbonate lenses.

Plastic or Glass

The plastic ones are normally common and inexpensive but they are still able to offer the same kind of eye protection just like glass. However for better clarity, glass is the best option but it will require a lot of care because it can shatter when dropped.

Polycarbonate


Polycarbonate lenses are more costly, but they are strong and can resist breaking in case they are dropped. They are less prone to scratches compared to plastic and glass but one drawback is that they offer lesser clarity than glass lenses. However if you want glasses that will last for a long time, then glasses with polycarbonate lenses are the best choice.

Color

Most sunglasses normally have black lenses which is practical when it comes to cutting light and they also don't distort colors unlike other colored lenses, however, when it comes to black or grey colors one cannot properly tell when wearing black sunglasses.

4 Tips for How To Choose The Right Glasses For Your Face

Remember when you were a kid and all you wanted was to wear glasses? You even went as far as to fake bad vision during your elementary school eye exam. Then you got a little older and actually needed glasses. Suddenly they weren't cool anymore and wearing them was like wrapping yourself in some sort of man-repelling, social-life-destroying cocoon of horribleness. You needed contacts. It was contacts or nothing.


Now you're an adult and although you still love your contacts for certain things, they can also be a hassle and you've come to see your glasses as just another accessory. The trick now is finding the right ones. In an ideal world, you'd have dozens of pairs in different colors, shapes, and styles to suit your ever-changing mood and look, but in reality, glasses can be expensive and more often than not you're limited to just one or two pairs at a time, so you want to make sure the ones you get are as flattering as possible.

Harvey Moscot, the fourth generation owner of 100-yr old optical brand MOSCOT, suggests keeping these 4 general tips in mind when it comes time to buy your next pair:

1. Contrast — "The shape of your frame should contrast the shape of your face, so if you have rounder features, you want more angular glasses, and if you have more angular features you want to soften them with more curved shapes."

2. Proportion — "In general, you want your frames to be in proportion with the rest of your face. It's different when you are shopping for sunglasses, which tend to be larger for greater coverage, but what looks good as a sunglass will not necessarily look good in optical."

3. Color — "Choose a color that compliments your features. Black is always good for highlighting and outlining your eyes. Glasses that contrast the tone of your face and hair will stand out more, but it's up to you how much of a statement you want your glasses to make."

4. Face Shape — This is where it gets a little more complicated. Here's the breakdown:

Heart-Shaped Faces — Aviators and Rimless Styles

"Aviators are good for balancing out a broader forehead with a narrower jaw line and a more pointed chin, because of the way they flare out at the bottom. Rimless styles are also good, because they keep the face from looking too top-heavy."

Square-Shaped Faces — Ovals and Rounded Rectangles

"Narrower oval and rectangular styles with rounded edges are great for softening a strong, square jaw and lengthening the face."

Narrow Faces — Taller Frames and Decorative Temples

"Try taller, squared-off or more circular frames, which will take up more room on your face and help balance out your features better than oval or rectangular frames. Also look for glasses with thicker arms or decorative details at the temples, since they will draw attention to the sides of your face and make it appear broader."

Round Faces — Rectangular Frames and Contrast Bridges

"Angular, rectangular frames help elongate the face and a contrasting bridge makes the eyes look farther apart."

Trapezoidal Faces — Half-Rim and Cat Eye Shapes

"If your face is wider on the bottom, try a half-rim style or a dramatic cat eye to bring attention up and balance out your jaw line."

Oval Faces – Top-Heavy Frames and Butterfly Shapes

"If you've got broad cheek bones, but a narrower forehead and chin, look for styles that are thicker or darker on the top than the bottom, or try a butterfly style, which wings up and out slightly at the top."
