Well-chosen sunglasses elevate your outfit to another level. They flatter your features and enhance your masculine image. Just think of celebrities: when they wear sunglasses in photos, they usually look that bit more attractive. Take advantage of their tricks and stick to a few principles when choosing your own sunglasses.
Unfortunately, men tend to underestimate the choice of accessories. To them they are simply things that have to do a job. Function dictates the decision. Scarves and caps are meant to keep you warm, glasses are meant to shield you from the sun and a watch is meant to tell the time. End of story. All of that is of course true, but accessories can do far more than merely fulfil their primary function. Let us look, then, at how to choose sunglasses that highlight your unique personality.
Sunglasses, too, are chosen according to their purpose
Do you like to spend your free time actively? Are you a passionate cyclist, a skier or a lover of yachting? Get yourself a good pair of sports sunglasses made for your favourite discipline. But be careful – never wear them with an elegant outfit. They would completely ruin a look that you have otherwise put together down to the last detail. A suit or blazer calls only for elegant sunglasses.
Before you set out to buy new sunglasses, take a good, straight look at yourself in the mirror. What is the shape of your face? Is it more of an elongated oval, or is it round? Is your face rectangular or heart-shaped? None of these are wrong – it is your unique face, and well-chosen sunglasses will bring out its best features. The key word is balance.
TIP: Not sure about the shape of your face? Take a marker and trace the outline of your face directly on the mirror. Now can you see what shape your face is?
A round face has roughly the same length as it has width. It belongs to people who come across as friendly and sympathetic. They usually retain a youthful appearance for longer. A circular face needs the things it lacks – elongated lines, a few angles and fewer rounded shapes. Forget the proverbial Lennon-style glasses altogether, they would do you no favours. A great choice is sunglasses with elongated lenses, whether oval or teardrop shaped.
Is the length of your face roughly one and a half times its width, with the forehead slightly wider than the chin? Then you are the owner of an oval face. Almost anything will suit you. As long as the sunglasses are the right size and colour, they will look good on you. The type is entirely up to you.
A heart-shaped face is characterised by prominent cheekbones that are wider than the narrowing chin area. Avoid frames with a reinforced, heavily emphasised upper edge. Overly large glasses will not flatter your face either. Teardrop-shaped frames or the classic aviators will suit you. Angular frames will underline your masculine features.
People with a square face have a wider forehead and sharp angles in the contours of the face. They often come across as rugged and at the same time very attractive. You can choose sunglasses whose shape softens your face, or you can emphasise the rugged look instead. Oval and round frames will lend you a pleasant, easy-going expression. If you want to look more stern, go for angular shapes. Just remember: everything in moderation.
When it comes to sunglasses, the rule that one should not skimp on quality applies even more than elsewhere. After all, they protect our eyes from strong sunlight and UV radiation. In Blažek stores and the e-shop you will find a collection of elegant sunglasses for every face shape. Come and choose a pair that will truly suit you.
