Baubles & The Q Clique: Sunglasses in the City

Sunglasses are the universal summer accessory that you just can't live without.  We're obsessed with them; they come in every shape, size and color! Sunglasses are the one accessory that instantly take your outfit up a knotch adding chic style and a bit of mystery to your look. Not all sunglasses are created equal for each face so we decided to give a few style tips on which styles and shapes fit the four face shapes and what the current sunglasses trends are.


Sunglasses Shapes for The Face:

Heart shaped face structures look best with narrow round frames that are bottom heavy and have low set temples to draw the attention downward and balance out your face.

Round shaped face structures look best with angular and geometric frames that sharpen facial features. Rectangular and horizontal styles glasses make the face appear thinner and longer.

Square shaped face structures look best with oval and round frames. Glasses with temples that are center set or that connect at the top of the frame and are butterfly shaped are also great on this face shape.

Oval shaped face structures are he most balanced of all face shapes. Most frame shapes work with oval faces. Square, rectangular and geometric shapes which add angles to soft curves are great looks also with this face shape.


2011 Sun Shades Trends:

The summer clothing trend is bare, cool and sleek so you can add in a little more exaggeration with your sunglasses. Trends we're seeing are anything retro or vintage like 1960's Ray-Ban's, cat-shaped frames,  and classic silhouettes with unexpected color frames like colbat blue and the timeless Jackie O. We've also seen frames studded with crystals, wrap around shield frames and big splashy logos sunglasses. Last but not least sunglasses also protect eyes from the harsh sun...so shade up in style and let's get ready for summer!


Fashionably Yours,
Confessions of the Collection
