There are many styles of sunglasses. In daily life, the main ones we often wear are the following. Round Eye round sunglasses

The biggest feature of round sunglasses is that the lenses are perfectly round.

Suitable face shapes: oval face, diamond face, heart-shaped face, pointed chin, narrow and long face.

Not suitable for face shapes: round face, oval face, short face, wide jaw.

There are two main styles: thin nose bridge and thin temples, thick nose bridge and thick temples. No matter which style, round lenses will give people a full retro feel. The aura is rather cute and cute.

Round sunglasses are the easiest to accentuate the round lines of the face. Do not try this easily for round or short square faces. It is more suitable for oval faces with smooth jaw lines.

Selection tips:

1. For wide nose wings or flat nose bridge, choose sunglasses with a higher and thinner nose bridge, which will not cut off the nose bridge in visual effect, and will not Make the nose look too big.

2. When you want to achieve a blocking effect, choose oversize sunglasses for better modification effect. Cat Eye Cat Eye Sunglasses

The shape of Cat Eye sunglasses is rather exaggerated, with the upper part of the frame rising upward, and the width of the frame often exceeding the cheeks. Therefore, this style visually widens and elongates the upper half of the face, and can also make the lower half of the face smaller through contrast.

Suitable face shapes: square face, round face, oval face, short face, wide jaw.

Not suitable for face shapes: oval face, diamond face, pointed chin.

Compare Olivia’s cat-eye style and round style. Wider sunglasses can shift visual attention to the upper half of the face without exposing the wide lower jaw.

Many people are afraid to choose cat-eye sunglasses because they feel the style is exaggerated. But in fact, as long as you choose the right style, cat-eye glasses can also look elegant and everyday.

Selection tips:

1. In terms of lens material, reflective lenses and colored lenses are obviously wider and more eye-catching than black and brown lenses. So when you don’t want such an exaggerated style, try to choose conservative black and brown.

2. On the frame, the cat-eye with thick frame is more exaggerated than the thin frame. You can choose a thin frame style with the same frame color and lenses.

3. In terms of overall style, the lenses have a larger rise, and cat-eye glasses with narrower and longer lenses are more exaggerated. You can choose a style with larger lenses and smaller rise.

Look at Olivia’s cat eye, which combines the above three conditions. Doesn’t it look not only not exaggerated, but also very elegant and delicate? Wayfarer Traveler Sunglasses

The characteristic of this type of sunglasses is that the lenses are round with a square inside, and a square with a round inside. The upper part of the lens is approximately straight, and the lower part is square.

Suitable face shapes: oval face, diamond face, heart-shaped face, long face, pointed chin.

Not suitable for face shapes: square face, short face, round face, wide nose.

Wearing this type of glasses will especially make your face appear shorter and squarer if you have a short square face or a short round face.

There is another type of sunglasses that is similar to Wayfarer, called Clubmaster. The former's frame and nose bridge are integrated, while the latter's upper and lower parts of the frame have different material thicknesses, and the nose bridge is also thinner.

The square-shaped Wayfarer is often larger and has a good face-covering effect, but its shortcomings are also obvious, that is, it is relatively low on the bridge of the nose and relatively thick. For those with wide nose wings, it is easy to enlarge it to make your nose bigger and wider.

Comparing the different effects of the width of the bridge of the nose, you can find that without the cut-off feeling of sunglasses, the nose will appear more slender:

Selection tips:

1. So wide If you have a nose wing, you can choose Clubmaster, which has a similar shape. Compared with Wayfarer, it will not make the nose look too big.

2. The style with longer lenses is more fashionable, and the style with short lenses is more retro than the style with long lenses.

Relatively speaking, men are more suitable for short styles than women, and short faces are more suitable for short faces than long faces.

3. Styles with wider lenses have a stronger effect on modifying the face and have a better effect of covering the face. Aviator aviator sunglasses

Aviator sunglasses gradually replaced the original bulky aviator goggles during the war because they were lightweight and portable. As soon as you put on these sunglasses, you will immediately feel cool.

Suitable face shapes: oval face, heart-shaped face, long face, pointed chin.

Not suitable for face shapes: square face, short face, round face, baby face.

What we often call toad glasses are aviator sunglasses. The lenses as a whole droop to both sides, which is exactly the opposite of the feeling of cat-eye glasses. Such a style will push the upper half of the face down, highlighting the width of the lower half of the face. Short and wide faces should avoid aviator sunglasses.

The pointed and long chin can be modified with aviator sunglasses.

Selection tips:

1. If your face and chin are not long enough, but you still want to wear aviator sunglasses, you can choose a style that is not visually "sagging".

Observing the lens shape of aviator sunglasses, you can find that the upper part of some styles of lenses is straighter, while some have a more obvious curvature. Straighter styles look less droopy and have less pull on the chin.

2. If you have a baby face or a tender face and it is difficult to handle the reflective mirror, you can choose a colorful style, which is more harmonious in style and looks younger and more lively.

Choose the right one and wear it well

Although we all know in our hearts that sunglasses are really the big difference between passers-by and fashionistas. But many times it is really impossible to wear sunglasses easily...

Why pinch?

Because Asian faces are generally not as three-dimensional as those of Europeans and Americans, especially at the base of the nose, girls with flat noses will always slide down when wearing sunglasses and have to keep lifting them up..._(: зゝ∠)_ Choose the style with separate nose pads

In this case, you can choose the style with separate nose pads. As mentioned earlier, those with a flat nose bridge and wide nose wings can choose a style with a narrower nose bridge. Generally speaking, sunglasses with a thin nose bridge have separate nose pads.

The style with separate nose pads is lighter than the style with integrated nose pads and frame, putting less burden on the bridge of the nose, and the nose pads can be adjusted to better fit the face. Choose a flat style

Sunglasses can also be divided into flat and curved surfaces. Flat styles have lower requirements for the bridge of the nose. If you have a low nose bridge, you can try a flat style with nose braces placed on the bridge of your nose.

Many sunglasses are mainly flat, but many styles of aviator sunglasses are curved. However, even aviator sunglasses have flat styles inside.

There is another way of thinking. If you have almost no nose bridge, just choose a more curved style.

The summary of this experience also comes from a friend around me. She always complained that there were no sunglasses that fit her at all, and she could not lose her face no matter what. It turns out that the bridge of her nose is extremely low and has very small fluctuations. Even with flat sunglasses, there is still no support.

So, I thought about it and recommended her a special curved style that hangs directly on the cheekbones/apples of the skin. Unexpectedly, it fits the face perfectly and solves the problem of not being able to wear sunglasses...

If you also want to choose this idea, then remember to try to choose a lighter and thinner style, which is better for the cheekbones/apple muscles. There will be less pressure. Buy a pair of anti-slip silicone nose pads for sunglasses

The anti-slip silicone nose pads for sunglasses are very cheap. After being attached, they can narrow the bridge of the nose, making it easier to wear, and also have an anti-slip effect.

The disadvantage of this silicone patch is that it gets dirty easily, especially when wearing makeup and sunglasses. It needs to be dried and replaced in time. Finally, I would like to share an exclusive tip of mine

The inspiration for this tip is due to my large sunglasses with integrated nose pads and frame. They are very heavy and my hips are not high. So those sunglasses will slide down when you sweat.

So, I started with the temples and wrapped a black rubber band for hair on the back half of the temples. When wearing them, place them behind your ears. Because the friction and volume of the temples have increased, the sunglasses will not fall off regardless of whether your hair is tied up or down.

Choose sunglasses from a practical perspective

Finally, from a practical perspective, let’s talk about some reference factors when choosing sunglasses. Choose the right lens color

When choosing, darker lenses have better light-blocking and sun-blocking effects. Dark colors can resist the penetration of ultraviolet rays better than light colors, and are also more effective in preventing ultraviolet burns. The now popular jelly-colored sunglasses have a greater decorative effect.

However, wearing dark sunglasses for a long time can easily cause eye fatigue, so the use time can be controlled according to the actual situation. Look for sun protection labels

To buy sunglasses, should you save up and buy a big brand?

In fact, from a practical point of view, when choosing sunglasses, as long as you choose sunglasses with the UV400 mark, you can have a good sun protection effect. This kind of lens can block UVA, B, and C wavelengths, which means it can filter out 99%-100% of UV. Sunglasses without this logo can only reduce the brightness but cannot block ultraviolet rays.

Polarized sunglasses

Polarized sunglasses also filter polarized light. The so-called polarized light refers to the irregular reflected light produced when light passes through uneven roads, water surfaces, etc., also called glare. When these rays of light directly illuminate people's eyes, they will cause discomfort and fatigue to the eyes, making them unable to see for a long time, and the clarity of the objects they see is obviously insufficient.

Polarized sunglasses are more expensive than ordinary ones. In daily use, ordinary sunglasses can meet our needs, but if they are used for long-term snow mountain climbing, desert treks, driving under the scorching sun, etc., polarized sunglasses The protection for the eyes is much greater.

Style of sunglasses

Sunglasses with thin temples and narrow nose bridge are more elegant and lightweight, but from a practical point of view, the sun can still hit the skin around the eyes from the side.

Thicker temples and sunglasses that are more "tightly enclosed" will provide better sun protection.

For example, in the picture below, the one on the left is more practical than the one on the right.

So, is there a sense of frustration that you can’t have your cake and eat it too?

It doesn’t matter, my suggestion is to buy two pairs!

These tips for choosing sunglasses can help us understand our own faces better, focus more when choosing, and find our ideal style better and faster.

But for Asian faces that are not three-dimensional enough, you still have to try on sunglasses to know whether they suit you. After all, we not only want to look beautiful, but also feel comfortable wearing them!
