The Importance of Sunglasses

Today, sunglasses have become the number one accessory for men. The right pair of sunglasses will undoubtedly add an element of personal style to any outfit, while also protecting your gaze. Sunglasses were originally created with the practical and functional purpose of protecting the eyes from intense light or glare. Regardless of the season, sunglasses are so important for protecting the eyes and today have become ever so popular as a styling accessory.

Sunglasses to Wear for Occasions

Wedding: It is an undeniable fact that men look sharp in sunglasses. While their primary purpose is to shield your eyes from the sun, there’s no denying that a pair of chic shades can make quite a fashion statement. A formal event like a wedding we love Ray Bans. They stand for a classic pair of all-black square sunglasses, perfect for pairing with your suit.

Casual: For everyday, casual attire, try Aviator sunglasses which are lightweight with a very thin wire-like frame. This stylish design has been a favourite for years and is loved by celebrities. Embrace your inner Top Gun by reaching for a pair of Aviator shades from Prada and more. Aviator sunglasses are stylish, utilitarian and complement all outfits and fashion choices, making them great for work, weekend outings, travel or even college.

Sporting sunglasses: Whether you are playing a round of golf, rowing or attending a sporting event. Sporting sunglasses have an enhanced visual clarity as the lenses of the sunglasses are designed to reduce glare from the sun and water so you can see better. Try square or rectangle sunglasses by Oakley as their sunglasses are made to be lightweight and comfortable and they feature Unobtainium nose and temple pads to help the frame stay in place for any kind of sporting activity.

Sunglasses to Suit Your Face Shape

Oval Shape: This face is slightly longer than wide; the cheekbones are the widest area on the face. This shape face can pull off almost any look or style because of the symmetrical features. Aviators, clubmasters by Gucci and round sunglasses are ideal picks for men with an oval face shape.

Round Shape: This face has generally a wider forehead and broader jawline. When choosing a pair of sunglasses to match a round face shape, the goal is to enhance the shape. This can be done by selecting styles that are elongating which will give the face a slimmer and more sharpened appearance. Oversized rectangle and/or square sunglasses from Prada will create a great dimension and compliment the face.

Heart Shape: This face typically is wider at the forehead with the broadest temples and gently narrow towards the jawline. When choosing a pair of sunglasses perfect for a heart shaped face, the goal is to shift the attention away from the straight edges of the face and to create a more elongated look. This can be done by wearing round sunglasses from Persol which will give the illusion of a more rounded face.

Square Shape: This face generally has a wider forehead and jawline. When choosing a pair of sunglasses perfect for a square shape, the goal is to compliment the face shape. This can be achieved with sunglasses that are oval, round or aviator sunglasses from Ray Ban, giving the face shape a more balanced and symmetrical look.Shop sunglasses to suit any face shape at Brown Thomas.
