Sunglasses are a must in summer. Whether you’re at the beach, headed home in traffic or just wearing them for fashion, sunglasses do more than cut glare or keep your eyes safe from the rays of the sun. They’re also a hot accessory for your sissy and cross dresser outfits whenever outdoors this season.

Choosing the right pair is tricky. How to choose from the vast arrray of looks available to you? Whether picking up a cheap-o pair at the airport or actually sinking a nice chunk of change into a summer splurge, you can now know what the best type is for you!

Your perfect pair of sunglasses….found!

It’s time to pinpoint your perfect fun and feminine touch. Thankfully, knowing the ideal pair of sunglasses for you is as easy as one, two. (What? Were you expecting a third step? It’s even better that that!)

  1. Pull your hair back in a mirror where you can see your entire face.
  2. Study your face shape. That’s it!

Round face–If you have a wide forehead, full cheeks and a rounded chin, go for square, rectangle, cat-eye or aviator styles. Stay away from round lenses or anything too big. Oversized lenses aren’t for everyone. You’ll just draw attention to face size. Don’t be afraid of print pattern frames or bright colors!

Square face— If you have wide cheekbones,  a wide forehead and angular features, you want sunglasses that are round, oval or cat eye shaped. Stay away from frames with sharp edges that will accentuate the angles of your own face.

 

Heart face— If you have high cheekbones, a broad forehead and a narrow chin, you will want sunglasses to even out your proportions. Try a cat eye, butterfly or round frame to really rock your look!

Oval face— If you have a narrow forehead, high cheekbones and a narrow chin, you can pull off pretty much any look you like. Lucky! Rectangle, round, aviator and cat-eye sunglasses will look best on you.

Sunglasses are one of my favorite pieces to a summer outfit. I covered a handful of must-have accessories in last week’s Amber Academy fashion post, so make sure you check that out if you haven’t already.
