Another summer is going by before your very eyes, so if you haven’t done it already, take inventory of the shades you’re packing! Are they slick and cool enough for this year’s fashion trends? What frame shape fits your face and which lens color should you get to keep you looking sharp? Keep on reading and we’ll help you out figuring out which are the best sunglasses for men this summer.
Not all sunglasses you like will look good on you. For instance, the best fit for a square-shaped face (strong jaw, angular chin) are glasses with soft, round lines or minimal frames. Round-shaped faces look best with mildly angular and rectangular frames that will help add length to the face visually. As for oval-shaped faces, with high cheekbones, just about any frame can work.
Finally, sunglasses are much more than just a fashion statement. They actually have a purpose: to keep you safe from bright light and harsh ultraviolet (UV) rays. Keep these two in mind next time you’re thinking of getting some for yourself. And that time is right about now!
