The Art of Sunnies



What do Marilyn Monroe, Audrey Hepburn and Jackie O have in common besides a signature hairdo? Signature sunglasses, of course. Think of Jackie in her oversized shades, Marilyn in her sexy, sophisticated cat-eyes, Audrey in her Manhattans. Or even, Mary Kate and Ashley, running through New York with coffee in hand, buried in oversized clothing, and in even more gargantuan shades.

The point: as far as outfit changing accessories go, sunglasses are basically at the top of the list. They add mystery. They reshape your face. They flatter the jawline. They keep the blinding sun out of your eyes while keeping you just hidden enough to avoid eye contact with that guy that just cannot stop looking over from his table. 

But, how do you find the pair that's perfect for you?

1. Square faces = soft edges

2. Round faces = angular frames
3. Oval faces =  anything BUT the most flattering = cateye
4. Heart shaped faces = Aviators

5. Cool factor = Sporty, embellished or futuristic
