Guide to Men’s Accessories – Part IX: Sunglasses

by JB

Like most accessories, I share my sunglasses collection with my brother. Thankfully, he rarely sports a pair. Don’t be fooled or limit yourself with marketing tactics of “masculine” or “feminine” glasses, its not underwear. Try on all styles and see which one suits you best; always get a second opinion.

Wayfarer – straight top with round frame – the ones in the picture don’t portray the exact shape as they are longer in the frame, but are based on the wayfarer foundation. Good for a round face.

Sunglasses Hut – Versace – grey tint, doesn’t really block much sun – worn mostly for fashion and overcast days.

Aviatorscientifically based on your eye shape as they were made for the US military. Good for a triangular face.

H&M – grey tint. These are my current go-to glasses – worn with everything and anywhere.

Wraparounds – like the name suggests: the glasses wrap around your face, covering most of your eyebrows and side burns. Good for an oval face.

Sunglasses Hut – Prada – brown tint. Currently worn only when I am unable to locate the aviators or while playing sports.

Thanks! What do you recommend for square-ish faces? Would aviators work fine?

I am assuming a square face would be someone who has a wider chin – wayfarer type of glasses would work best for you – ones that had longer frames but fit your face – good luck!
