I ran across a short article at Golf Digest's site about choosing sunglasses. It's called (not surprisingly) How to Pick a Sunglass Frame That Looks Good on You . But I was a little disappointed because basically all it said was to pick frames that are a different shape than your face -- that is, pick frames with angles if your face is rounder, and vice versa. Not good enough!
So I determined to locate some websites that would be greater assist. Otherwise, how could if those Ray-Ban Original Wayfarer Cosmos are right for you? Of path, we do not need to be crushed with info, so I'll maintain it to a couple of beneficial web sites.
We'll start at the Sun Authority's website with their Choosing the Best Sunglasses for Your Face Shape guide. (They also have an interactive tool to help you out, if you prefer.) It shows you how to identify your face shape (one of 4 different outlines) and then shows you what frame shapes tend to work best with that shape. The guide is short but it's far more helpful than the Golf Digest article.
The United Shades website takes it a piece farther with their Choosing the Right Sunglasses for Your Face web page. This web page makes body tips for six one-of-a-kind face outlines, however also gives a few suggestions on how your hairstyle affects the way the frame appears to your face AND how your skin's complexion must have an effect on the frame colour you select. A very cool web page!
That's enough to give you some guidance. I've tagged this page as "fashion" but also as "equipment," simply because sunglasses are more than a fashion statement for golfers -- they're a necessary form of eye protection. Every golfer needs sunglasses...
But it doesn't hurt in the event that they make you look cool as well. ;-)
