Really I do. Now that I have moved back to Los Angeles, those babies have become a non negotiable. I need them. They protect my eyes and make me look absolutely dashing, ha! They are functional, hide a multitude of sins, and compliment my features. They are one of the few accessories a man can get away with, without people thinking you are weird.

When you head out to procure your much needed sunglasses for this year, there are some things to keep in mind with regards to making your selection. The perfect pair of sunglasses will flatter your face shape and balance your natural features out. The basic rule for choosing a frame for your face is to look for one that will contrast with your face shape. Listen to me, I’m a man with a vast wealth of experience. You want to look pretty don’t you?

Oval Face - You will have it the easiest when it comes to shopping for sunglasses, because most shapes will work for you. Oval faces can handle round or square frames, oversized shades, aviators, and everything in between. Of course, depending on your individual features, certain styles might not work as well as others. Make sure to look for styles that are in proportion to your face and features. The small face and small features with oversize sunglasses is kind of a strange look.

Round Face - A circular face requires angular sunglasses to balance out the roundness. Straight lines are important, so look for square or rectangular frames if possible. Again, pay attention to proportions – if you have large features and a large face, don’t attempt tiny sunglasses as they will only make your face/features look distorted.

Heart Shape Face - If you have a heart shaped face that’s wider at the top than at the bottom, look for sunglasses that echo this shape. The aviator is a perfect example of this. Aviator shades are super-flattering on heart-shaped faces. You can also get away with certain rounded and rectangular frames so long as the upper part of the frame is larger than the lower.

Square Face - Square faces should stick to curved sunglasses – they help soften your facial features and downplay your angular face shape. To draw attention away from a strong jawline, look for frames that sit slightly higher than usual on your face. This will help draw the eye up toward your eyes.
