subject: Choose The Perfect Discount Sunglasses [print this page] Just like hair cuts and hats, the way that discount sunglasses look on you will depend on the shape of your face. You may see a pair on the rack that you absolutely love, but please do not buy them until you try them on and look in a mirror! You very well might just be horrified (unfortunately) at the way they look on your face. Although discount sunglasses are cheaper than those offered at full price, you are going to still be throwing your money away if you do not try them on first. Here are the basic face shapes and the types of discount sunglasses that will look best on each one, just to save you some time and effort from looking at the wrong types of pairs.
If you have an unusually oblong face, anything goes as long as the frames do not extend past the widest part of your face. Most people with an oblong face find that round and square shapes will shorten and widen their faces.
Those lucky people with an oval face have the most common face shape, and it is said that just like hair cuts, most shapes of eye wear will suit you just fine. It seems to be easiest for oval faces to find good looks, so you will have the easiest time finding a good pair.
If you have a square face, similar to a diamond shape you can soften the squareness of your face by choosing shades that are soft and curvy. Most people with a square face find that they look best in discount sunglasses that are cats eye shaped, as well as those that are round and oval.
If you have a round face, you are going to want to stick with the frames that make your face look longer and slimmer. This is not to say that you have a fat face! This just means that you need to find discount sunglasses that complement your look by making it appear stretched a bit, if you will. Look for frames that are equal to or a little bit wider than the broadest part of your face. Also, most people who have been blessed with a round face find that they can add some definition by opting for styles that are rectangular or angular in shape.
Do you find that you have a diamond faced shape? Keep this in mind: since you already have a naturally angular face, you are going to want some oval shaped discount sunglasses to soften your look. You can also try gently curved square frames. You can also give circular frames a whirl, but be careful you usually do not want any frames that are wider than your cheekbones.
Finally, if you have a triangular shaped face or a heart shaped face, you will want to make the jaw appear more narrow, so you may want to try discount sunglasses that are cats eye shaped and the metal frame types with rimless bottoms.
