How to choose eyewear.

Четверг Июл 31, 2008

Sunglasses is an very actual accessory for every woman. But what is the main criterion in choice of “right” sunglasses? I would highlight 3 main criterions:

1. sunglasses should look well on your face
2.they should be composed well with clothes from your wardrobe
3.they should look modern

The third criterion is very questionable, because today’s fashion proposes eyewear that was actual in ’60-s, ’70-s and so on, I mean sunglasses from different periods. So…what is modern today? Nowadays you can wear everything, your main task is to combine it smart. You even can wear sunglasses of ’60-s with dress of ’80-s, but the main thing you should do: to combine it with a good taste. But what we mean when we say “good taste”? This is another question …

A month ago I’ve watched famous movie “Sex and the city”. I’ve read many articles about it before I saw it. In all this articles was written that ladies from this movie are dressed by extra-class designers. But after viewing this movie I was shocked, I said to myself: “Maybe my taste is bad, but they look awful! Maybe, today ladies with bad taste are considered fashionable?”. I was shocked by their dresses! Such terrible combinations I haven’t seen on the screen for the long time! So…I can not help somebody with third criterion in choice of sunglasses. Because, you should feel it by yourself, or ask somebody who you think have a good taste to help you.
But coming back to eyewear, I would like to say, that their assortment in fashion magazines and boutiques provokes more optimistic thoughts! For example, few years ago it was hard for me to find nice sunglasses. Why? Because they were too large for my face! I know, big sunglasses are fashionable, but those (in shops) were TOO LARGE, or just made so bad as they couldn’t look well on my face! They looked on my face like “somebody’s whose face is much bigger than my” sunglasses.
But finally, BINGO, I found them! What is it, miracle? Or producers of sunglasses finally created something convenient for ladies, who want to wear big sunglasses but have tiny nice faces?

But after some time I decided that one pair of sunglasses is not enough for me.
I decided that fashionable lady should have more sunglasses for any situation. So, I highlighted 3 situations:

1.dark sunglasses in which eyes are not seen at all( convenient for beach, or bad days, when you are in bad mood and don’t want somebody to see your eyes)
2.medium dark sunglasses (for every day)
3.light sunglasses (almost transparent) sun glasses for night parties and cloudy days.

There are examples(from my own collection):
