So How Do You Choose Your Sunglasses?

So how do You choose your Sunglasses?
Well, welcome back to another fun but informative blog from www.sendoptics.com Here’s hoping you are well and enjoying your week so far? The temperature maybe cold but here in the studio we are carefully unpacking more and more sunglasses that we are photographing at a rate of knots! (Many thanks Margaret!). So much so that the poor Judge’s hands are all looking like a blur. We have so far updated the Prada female collections… (a few more to be added as well I hasten to add) to include their much talked about “Swing” collection and Miu Miu’s “Carte Noire” collection these designer sunglasses are designed with a retro glam feel and are fast becoming the sunglasses for the sophisticate femme fatale to be seen about town in…Be in there first and get www.sendoptics.com 10% discount of rrp.
Now I know some people are probably recoiling at the thought of being seen in something as extrovert as the Prada “Swing” or the Miu Miu “Carte Noire” so we are going to be letting you into a few secrets on how to choose your designer sunglasses and the shapes and styles.
So as you may or may not know there are FIVE FACE SHAPES that we all belong to. We are going to give you some tips on identifying your faceshape and what sort of shape sunglass will best suit you.
1) THE SQUARE - In Gent’s this is known as the square jawed, in ladies look no further for the perfect example than the Jackie ‘O’ who was renowned for wearing big glamourous sunglasses. This look of rounded or cats eye shape is perfect for making the squarer face look less harsh. With Gent’s you are looking to emphasise the squareness of the jaw so look for sharp angles.

Gents………Dsquared DQ0068
Prada SPR 14O
2) THE TRIANGLE - The heart shaped face or for the macho man triangular faces are described as a wider forehead to a tapering chin, and for both ladies and gents sunglasses with a wider bottom line and a curved top line suit as well as the cats eye shape and well rounded frames, you ladies are spoilt!!!

Gents………Paul Smith Romiley
3) THE OBLONG/LONG FACE - You guys are very lucky in your choices the frames are best to be thick and with large lenses,fashion forward frames and retro or vintage styles but just think BIG and dont be afraid to stand out!
Ladies………Swarovski Amazing
Gents……….Christian Dior Blacktie 120S
4) The ROUND - this is one of the trickier frames to settle on as most people with this shape face are often a little shy and self critical. The best advice for you would be to look for narrow frames that also rise to the temples. Colour can also make a big difference and there are some amazing colours in the collections this year.Also “Tortoiseshell” will add definition whether it be the classic or more fashion based patterns can really make a difference. So our final advice for you is dont be afraid to try something new and daring as everyone deserves to look and feel their best!

5) THE OVAL - No we don’t mean the Cricket Ground smart Alecs!..The shape is often considered the most aesthetically appealing for both men and women. Many artists have chosen their models for this fact. The face itself is a soft sweep from temple to chin. choosing sunglasses for this shape is relatively painless in fact you have the widest choice as ANY FRAME from sporty styles through to designer frames will suit, it’s all a matter of personal taste.
Just remember choose the sunglasses for YOU! Don’t always folow the crowd! Make sure they are genuine, we at www.sendoptics.com gaurantee 100% all our sunglasses . The sunglasses should offer UVA/UVB protection. You will also see on a lot of ours we offer prescription glazable option.
Well the lecture is over for today. We hope you find this helpful and informative, and by no means do we say you should not be afraid to experiment with different shapes and styles. Remember…the only real Judge is YOU!!!
THE JUDGE
