What Sunglasses Best Fit Your Face Shape

By Nerina Hodzic Poplata 

For me, sunglasses are part of everyday life-- both in the summer and the winter. They protect your eyes from the sun  in the summer and also protect your eyes from the snow glare in the winter. Moreover, sunglasses are ideal to cover-up dark eye circles or just to go incognito when without makeup. Lastly, sunglasses can even be used as a headband to get any unwanted hair from your forehead.  

Below, first, I will let you know what type of sunglasses are trending this season; second, I will give you styling tips on how to choose sunglasses that best fit your face shape. (And, yes, we already did a post on what sunglasses best fit your face shape but I wanted to provide my own take...)

II. Which sunglasses best fit your face shape? 

A. Heart-shaped face: try aviators. Angelina Jolie has a heart shaped face, she looks spectacular in aviators, which she sports very often.

B. Round face: oversized rectangular frames look very chic.  Check out Alexander Wang's and Prada's oversized rectangular frames. Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen have round faces, check out their specks. 

C. Oval face: try cat-eye frames. Brands I recommend are Miu-Miu and H&M. Olivia Palermo has an oval face shape, and she has been spotted wearing cat-eye frames. 

D. Angular face: try retro circular frames. The brands I recommend are Miu-Miu and Stella McCartney. Beyonce has an angular face; the retro circular frames look very hip on her.

My favorites? Dolce & Gabbana with gold leaves! Take a look below! 

A difficult choice for me...

Let me know which sunglasses you choose this season! Until next time, signing-off from Sarajevo, xoxo.

Za mene su sunčane naočale dio svakodnevnice, i ljeti i zimi. Pored što štite oči od jakog sunca (ljeti), tako štite i od blještavila snijega (zimi). Također, idealne su za prekriti podočnjake ili nedostatak vremena za šminkanje. Ja ih često koristim i kao raif za kosu, kada me nepošlušne šiške krenu nervirati.

No, ipak sa proljećem krenu reklamne kampanje slavnih dizajnera sunčanih naočala i svako, ali baš svako proljeće mi se dopadnu neke novog oblika.

Ove sezone trend nastavljaju naočale mačkastog oblika, ali tu su i neobične višekutne sa detaljima u boji zlata. Ostaju u igri i one velike, tamne, celebrity naočale.

Od boja okvira, crne su nezaobilazne, ali pojavljuju se i bež, bordo, te animal print u više varijacija.

Uz nezaobilazne crne sunčane naočale, na police su stigle i one u bordo boji, te pastel rozoj i bež

Dolce & Gabbana su moj favorit za ovo proljeće, i to ove sa zlatnim listićima. Samo još da provjerim koji oblik mi najbolje stoji. 

Do tada, nosim svoje mačkaste crne sa zlatnim detaljima.

Do idućeg posta želim vam da uspijete odabrati sunčane naočale koje će vas pratiti ovo proljeće i ljeto!
