So many clients tell me how difficult they find it choosing a great pair
of sunglasses, so here are some of my stylist tips to help demystify this
process.
The key thing to check is your colouring. Is it predominately dark, medium
or light? Echoing this depth of colour in your sunglasses is a great basic
principle to follow. It could be either the frames, the lenses or both.
If you have lighter hair and skin, then you will generally find lighter frames
and lenses work best for you. Rose gold mirror glasses would suit warm,
honey blondes, but cooler blondes or those with light grey hair, usually
look better in silver lenses or frames.
If your colouring is medium depth, maybe mid-brown hair or olive/light
brown skin, then try a medium-depth shade in your sunglasses too.
Tortoiseshell suits nearly everyone, so is a good fallback for a classic pair
and there is usually plenty of choice in this group. Consider graduated
lenses that are darker at the top and fade to lighter at the bottom or any
combination of dark lenses and light frame or dark frame and lighter lenses.
Overall you are looking for a medium depth pair of glasses to create a
harmonious look.
For darker hair and darker skin, then black frames or lenses usually work
well. Black looks good on cool skin tones too; for example, if you have
black hair and pale skin or dark skin and dark or grey hair. Maybe consider
pink, blue, grey and silver for more trendy options with your cool colouring.
For warmer colouring, try browns, greens and warm golds as these will
tend to be more flattering on you.
The last element is to have fun with your sunglasses. I admit this is easier
done if you can choose a couple of pairs from the £10 stall on the beach
front, than if you are buying prescription glasses. And if you are investing in
a more expensive pair, then be prepared to spend a little more time trying
on lots of pairs until you find the one that both flatters you and that you
love.
Sunglasses are one of the best accessories to help us feel youthful,
carefree and just a little more fabulous in the sun.
