Coach Sunglasses For Less

The key to choosing the perfect pair of sunglasses is to find a pair that complements the shape of your face. To do this, you first need to determine the shape of your face. There are four main categories of face shapes, round, square, oval, and heart. It is easiest to determine your face shape from a photograph. Take a picture of yourself facing the camera, then trace the outline of your face to see what shape it most resembles. Remember to start at your hairline, not where your bangs stop.

Once you have determined the shape of your face, picking the perfect pair of shades is simple. Round faces need to add length to balance out their shape. The easiest way to elongate a round face is with a pair of rectangle shaped sunglasses. Also, look for sunglasses with thick frames, this also helps to break up the circle of a round face.

If you want to soften a square face the trick is to add some curves. Round or oval sunglasses have the dramatic curves needed for this. Also, avoid thick frames. Thick frames tend to look harsh and only add to the dominance of a square face. Try thin wire frames or even frameless sunlasses.

The options are limitless for oval shaped faces. Almost any shape, size and frame width looks great on an oval face. The only thing an oval face needs to avoid are oval shaped sunglasses. Other than that, the options are limitless. Any color, any pattern or design all work well with an oval shaped face.

Heart shaped faces want to pull attention away from the chin. The best way to do this is to add drama to your eyes. Oversized, thick framed glasses do the trick. Think Jackie O. Heart shapes also can look for bright colored sunglasses. Anything that draws attention to the eye area, will draw attention away from the chin area.

The only way to find the right shades for you is to try them on. Follow these few simple guidelines to get you started and before long you will have the perfect pair of sunglasses for the shape of your face.
