Sunglasses are also far more than an accessory as they protect your eyes from the sun and keep you cool on the hottest summer days. Living in the Middle East means we are prone to sun exposure so adequate protection is as important as fashion and style. This year, sunglasses trends are leaning toward ’70s round lenses, cat-eye designs, oversized shades, and Y2K styles.
To help you select the most flattering sunglasses, take into account both your face shape and skin tone. If you have a round or oval-shaped face, you would benefit from a more rectangular or square frame as the sharper edges will help create the impression of a more angular look. Those with strong cheekbones and a chiseled jawline should choose a style with softer, rounder or oval edges. For frame colors, those with olive or dark complexions are able to wear any hue since the majority will suit them. If you are paler, avoid harsh thick black frames that may wash you out; instead, opt for soft, warm colors such as gold and pastels.
