Prescription Sunglasses: Picking Frames

Almost everybody adores sunglasses today. We always have a pair with us and many of us just love to try them on in shops just to see how well they suit us. They are fast turning into the fashion accessory we just can't do without. Not only do they protect our eyes from harmful UV rays but they also simply ooze attitude. Everything looks so much trendier and more fashionable when you are looking through trendy sunglassess. For those who wear prescription sunglasses there is now a wide variety of trend setting frames to choose from. It is acceptable to be that bit more out there in your choice of sunglasses than with your clear glasses. But you do need to make sure that the frames you choose are right for your face or else they just won't look treny anymore.
Here are some handy tips on picking the right sunglasses for your face:
With a square face you are best to pick frames with a high top to counterbalance the jaw line. Styles which curve around the face look good.
Round faces suit dark colours such as deep tortoise shell or black. Look for straight or angular styles with dark lenses. Square frames can be flattering.
If you have a face that resembles a triangle, with a wide forehead and smaller chin, you should look for frames with vertical lines and slim rims. Smooth fine oval shaped frames with dark lenses also suit your face.
If your face is an oblong shape you will need your frame to cover as much of the centre of your face as possible. Avoid vibrant colours, heavy nose pieces and big square frames. To be really trendy try wearing a classic style of frame that has been revamped to give it a new fashionable look.
If you are lucky enough to have an oval shape you can pick almost any shape but you will still need to choose a frame that is the correct size for your face.
As well as considering the shape of the frame with regard to the shape of your face you also need to match the frames to your nose. A large nose is balanced by oversize frames. Long noses look good with frames with a double bridge and high sidebars which emphasise the temples. Short noses are complemented by sunglasses in a light shade with a high bridge.
When you are choosing sunglasses it is a good idea to think in opposites so that the shapes you choose counterbalance the shape of your face. Try on different shapes, colours and styles until you find the frames that express your style. If you take the time to choose the frames that suit your face you will look so fashionable that nobody will guess that you are wearing prescription sunglasses.
