The Sunglasses of 2013: Perfect For Your Face Shape

Dolce and Gabbana

 I am guilty of only wearing sunglasses during the warmer spring and summer months. Once it hits below 60 degrees outside I don't even think to put them on. I know I'm not alone in this thought process however, doctors are saying that wearing sunglasses even when there are 3 inches of snow on the ground may help prevent against cataracts, macular degeneration, sunburned eyes (uhh...OUCH!), dry eyes and snow and sun blindness. Eyes, after all, are the window to the soul so shouldn't we be doing all we can to protect them? After looking at the 2013 sunglasses trends I found myself not wanting to wear them just as a means of protection, but as an all out fashion statement. You will too. 

Dolce and Gabbana 

Retro chic at its finest. 

Embellished, bold colored and printed specs were among some of the eye wear shown on the runways for spring 2013. But, it didn't stop there. Classic shapes and new abstract ones were seen walking side by side to one another. Unfortunately, all sunglasses are not created equal. No matter how hard I try to pull off a classic pair of aviators, I just can't do it. Hand me a pair of cat eye sunglasses and I will rock those from sun up to sundown...and even into the night. Want to know which of these hot new trends will look best on you? Here is a break down of the styles that work with your face shape.

Eye Heart You:

 Girls with a heart shaped face should wear the ever-chic cat eye sunglasses. These are such timeless sunglasses that whether you wear them for this summer, next summer, or the summer when you're 73 you will still look ultra feminine and sophisticated.

The Long and Narrow Gang:

If you have a longer face shape then you are in good company. Wear big, over sized sunglasses much like the ones that Jackie-O made famous. Feel free to play around with color such as a fun red or emerald green.

Still so stylish.

 Oval and Out:

If you are an oval face shape then you are one of the lucky ones. You can pretty much wear any style that you want and it will flatter your face. However, perhaps the best choices would be the classic Ray-Ban sunglasses or aviators. Goose and Maverick would be proud.

Where can I find these? LOVE the tortoise shell!

 Be there or be Square:

Girls with a square-like face should think about wearing more round/circular shaped frames. Luckily for you Ozzie Osbourn glasses were all the rage on the runways. Whether you want to go for more of an over sized look or go quirky with smaller frames both will compliment your pretty face.

Round About:

Girls with round faces should be looking for geometric and more structured frames. Interesting shaped glasses such as pentagon and hexagon shapes have been seen in editorials and on celebrities.

Rihanna, on trend as always.

So remember, sunglasses are not just for the spring/summer months...then again with all of these cute new sunglasses trends why would we even want them to be? Sunglasses all year round? I think yes.
