Retro Sunglasses: A blast from the past

One of the hottest fashion trends right now, retro is most certainly in. Simply by judging from the looks seen from the runways, retro is definitely the way to go this year. Retro sunglasses are big, bold and colourful and they give a refreshing sartorial look to your entire outfit. As with choosing sunglasses for yourself, it’s essential that you get one that flatters your face shape.

Women’s Accessories: For an instant touch of glamour

Those with round faces; you want to create some angles in your face. But retro frames are wider and deeper so you need to look for one that has a rectangular shape and a lighter bridge. To widen your eyes, try a metal framed one. Ladies with oval faces, lucky you; there is already balance in your face shape so any frame can work. Those with oblong faces, you want to make your face look shorter so a deep frame would work. Most retro frames are deep so they work for you, try and get one with some design details on the frame. For those with a triangular face, your answer is simple – get a cat eye framed one. Those with an inverted triangle face, try a rimless round frame one. Diamond shaped faces will look good with oval or cat eye frames the best while square faces should stay away from frames with a point, for example cat eyed frames because you want to soften your angles.

Retro sunglasses give a touch of elegance and sophistication to your outfit. Just think Audrey Hepburn at Breakfast at Tiffany’s. It’s glamour rolled into one, just with a pair of sunglasses. Celebrities like Lady Gaga are also huge fans of retro sunglasses. Have fun with the colours, complement your outfit or eye colour with them.
