Firstly, you should try on a number of different pairs of designer sunglasses to find the style that suits your face but that are also a comfortable fit. Many people make the mistake of buying sunglasses that they like the style of instead of ones that fit properly. It’s important that your new sunglasses fit snugly aren’t uncomfortable. Comfort is important as you’ll want to wear your sunglasses frequently.

Once you have the right fit down, you’ll want to consider style. Sometimes it’s a bit tricky as a style you like will not suit your face. So, try on as many pairs of designer sunglasses as you can, to find a style and shape that suits you.

Though many people buying designer sunglasses overlook this one in favor of how they look – it is absolutely crucial that you pick a pair that offer your eyes protection from harmful UV rays. Many designer sunglasses will offer this feature as it is so important for people to protect their eyes, but don’t just assume that because it’s a good name and a high price – that your sunglasses will, indeed, protect your eyes.

Finally, when buying designer sunglasses you sometimes get the option of choosing polarized lenses. This all depends on your particular style. Typically, polarized sunglasses are best used for sports enthusiasts who will be wearing their sunglasses all day in intense sun.

How To Choose Designer Sun Glasses

There is a seemingly endless selection of different designer styles in all shapes and sizes, colours and materials.It can be a bit overwhleming deciding between so many different styles.If you’re buying designer glasses obviously it’s important to think about the image you want to give.A reserved, sensible look might be best for glasses which are primarily worn at work.  If you want to make a statement and go for bright unrestrained glasses there are dozens of recognised designer brands out there, including Prada glasses for example that combine an intrinsic sense of style with the name recognition that is more of a fashion and lifestyle statement.  Whichever way you lean, choose designer glasses to suit the shape of your face and not just your outfits or your desired social standing.The same goes for buying new designer sunglasses. 

Oval shaped or rounded frames are best suited to a square face.Smaller, rounded or square frames suit those whose face is narrower at the bottom than the top. Don’t go for a style which widens at the top as they will only exaggerate your face shape, as will frames with decoration at the sidse or temples. Wider styles suit those with wider foreheads, full cheeks and a rounded face.Small rounded styles and any large frames should be avoided as they will only make your face look more round.

If your face is a basic oval shape with a slightly wider forehead, curved jaw and high cheekbones you’re lucky and can take your pick of any style as most will suit you.  Long faces with high cheekbones and a deep forehead will suit wide frames and a strong top line.The perfect frames for an oval shaped face are large square shapes, though avoid smaller squares. Bold, bright designs will suit you if your face widens at the jaw, but narrower frames will not look so good.

With designer sunglasses in particular, remember that, aside from making you look good,   the primary role of these items is still to protect your eyes from the harmful effects of UV radiation.If at all possible try the glasses on before buying to be sure of the comfort and style.Most importantly remember that the only person you really need to please is yourself!

Designer Glasses Protect Your Eyes And Make You Look Good Too

The movie Top Gun, starring Tom Cruise as Lt Pete “Maverick” Mitchell and Kelly McGillis as Charlotte “Charlie” Blackwood with adequate support from Val Kilmer as  Lt Tom “Iceman” Kazansky, launched several careers and fuelled many an adolescent fantasy, arguably the real stars though were the aviator sunglasses that adorned the cast in most of the movie. In the immediate aftermath of the screening, sales of this particular style took off a quickly as the F14 Tomcat jet fighters, which at the time were the zenith of US naval aviation. Aviator style shapes are also the preferred designer sunglasses of Cristiano Ronaldo and were the accessory of choice for the late king of pop, Michael Jackson.

Obviously the main purpose of designer glasses for most people is image, but that image doesn’t always mean looking as cool as possible. Just look at the two Ronnies in their famous geeky horn rim glasses which literally became the very trademark of their show. Easily as widely recognisable as the glasses of Cruise and Lennon, these specs had a very different agenda of deliberately making the wearers look as silly as possible. Snooker player Dennis Taylor’s famous designer glasses had a distinctive, swivel-lens, upside-down design. Those glasses helped Taylor win the world snooker title, even if they did look a bit strange. One strange celebrity glasses situation was that of comedian Eric Sykes who was never seen without his trademark black horn rim specs. In fact his glasses never had any lenses in them, and were really a bone-resonating hearing aid.
