Oversized sunglasses are a must-have for fashion addicts

“ I wear my sunglasses at night” was a popular song in the eighties, by Corey Hart. And it still makes a very valid point. Sunglasses are not meant to be worn just for protection of your eyes. They can be a pure fashion item that is a real must-have if you want to follow the latest trends. The latest trend in sunglasses for women is to have oversized sunglasses, just like having baggy pants and long shirts is the standard nowadays.

Celebrities

A lot of celebrities show the latest models in eyewear fashion. Jessica Simpson shows us her oversized aviator sunglasses, and Victoria Beckham has a huge collection of various types of oversized designer sunglasses. Yes, these people are walking billboards for us to buy the same sunglasses, but surely there is nothing wrong with that. These cool oversized sunglasses can make us look famous and confident, and the great thing about oversized glasses is that you can skip putting makeup on, or seem fresh when you are actually a bit hungover.

When you oversize sunglasses, be sure to select the right shape for your face. The real trick with buying oversized sunglasses is that they cover a large part of your face. Therefore, you can get away with quite a range of models and shapes. However, general rules apply. If you have an oval face, you can basically pull off a lot of shapes. If you have a more square or rectangular shaped face, you should mainly focus on oversized round sunglasses with round frames and lenses. The color of our oversized sunglasses should combine well with our clothes and skin color. If you have a fair skin, try some colorful glasses to bring extra life to your happy face. If you have a very small face, you might want to oversize your sunglasses with just a medium sized pair. If you buy too big of sunglasses, they become supersized which can be frowned upon, much to your disliking.

Besides the ultra-cool look and mystery that oversized sunglasses give to our appearance, they also serve well to protect our eyes (and face if you go big enough!) from sunrays. Harmful UV rays can damage your eyes, so be sure to get a pair with quality lenses. Because the lenses are so large, they can also protect well against wind and insects, when you enjoy riding in a convertible or on a motor cycle.

In general, oversized sunglasses are a great asset to your fashionable wardrobe. They give us the opportunity to look like a celebrity, even when you’re having a not so glamorous day. While some models and designs are fashionable for just a short while, oversized sunglasses are here to stay. So don’t shy away from getting yourself an expensive, but really cool pair of oversized designer sunglasses. They will be your BSE (Best Sunglasses Ever), save you money on makeup, and make you look cool even at 5 AM!
