Just like one can't have too many shoes and handbags, I don't think one can have too many sunglasses! This small yet essential accessory is very telling about your personality and individual style. Plus they serve the very important function of protecting your beautiful eyes.
Since summer is around the corner, I was inspired to write about sunglasses in case you are looking for a new pair.
Your sunglasses should fit your personality, face and budget so here are some tips to help you find your perfect pair!

Personality fit:
Pick a pair that fits your personality best. Here's a quick interpretation on the various styles of sunglasses.
Aviators - sporty, stylish and confident
Wayfarers - clever, unique and carefree
Oversized - chic, glamorous and mysteriousCat eyes - fashion forward, risk-taker and unpredictable
Classic - easy going, friendly, well put-together
Wraparounds - sporty, active and adventurous
Small and round - artsy and creative
Face Fit:
Your sunglasses should flatter you so its important to find a pair that is complimentary to your face shape.
Frame: Angular, squares, or rectangles as the angularity of frame balances the roundness of the face. Wide frames that extend beyond the cheekbones will slim down the round cheeks. Avoid rounded or oval glasses.
