Understanding Oversized Sunglasses: A Timeless Trend

Oversized sunglasses, also known as statement sunglasses, are characterized by frames that are larger than average sunglasses. They have transcended fleeting trends, becoming a fashion staple for decades.

A Brief History:

• The 1960s saw the rise of oversized sunglasses, popularized by fashion icons like Jackie Kennedy Onassis and Audrey Hepburn.
• Throughout the years, oversized styles have evolved, reflecting various cultural movements and design trends.
• Today, oversized sunglasses offer a versatile way to express individuality and add a touch of drama to any outfit.

Benefits of Oversized Sunglasses:

• Enhanced Sun Protection: Larger lenses provide greater coverage for your eyes and the delicate skin around them.
• Statement Piece: Oversized sunglasses can instantly elevate your look and add a touch of mystery and intrigue.

Choosing Your Perfect Pair: Finding the Fit and Style for You

The right frame shape can dramatically enhance your features and complement your face shape. We have a detailed guide on finding sunglasses for your face shape but here's a quick overview:

Face Shape Analysis:

• Oval: You're lucky! Most oversized styles work well for your versatile face shape. Explore different styles to reflect your personal preferences, whether it's bold and dramatic or sleek and sophisticated.

• Round: Balance your features with angular or geometric frames that add definition and contrast. Styles like Comin’ In Hot with their sharp edges and squared silhouettes create a flattering counterpoint to your rounder features.

• Heart-shaped: Wider frames can visually balance your narrower chin. Explore styles like The Alchemist with their wider frames that complement your heart shape beautifully.

• Square: Soften your strong jawline with rounded or curved frames, like Sunfest.

• Diamond: Experiment with various styles, but avoid overly wide frames that can overwhelm your face. Consider The Commando 2.0 with balanced proportions that flatter your diamond-shaped face.

Beyond Face Shape:

Choosing the perfect pair goes beyond just shape. Consider your:

• Personal Style: Classic, edgy, bohemian - select frames that reflect your unique personality. 
• Desired Look: Bold statement, vintage vibes, everyday chic - choose frame shapes, materials, and lens colors to achieve your desired aesthetic. 

Frame Materials:

• Acetate: Lightweight, comfortable, and available in various colors and patterns, perfect for everyday wear. (e.g. La Noche)

 

 

• Metal: Creates a sleek and modern look, but can be heavier than acetate. Ideal for statement pieces. (e.g., Viva La Vida Sunglasses)

 

 

Lens Color and Tint:

• Consider factors like sun protection level (look for UVA/UVB protection), desired look (e.g., classic black for every day, gradient for a trendy touch), and how the tint complements your skin tone and eye color.
