Shape-up Shades

What to wear this summer

With summer right around the corner, we are all rushing to the gym, watching what we eat, and doubling up on salads, trying to boost our confidence to hit the sand or slip into our favorite sundresses. But that’s not the only thing we need to get in shape. Your face shape is pretty important, and a little bit of fashion magic can flaunt what you’ve got and accentuate looks with the right sunglasses for any face shape.

		Oblong-shaped  Translation: Your face is longer, with narrow chin and cheekbones Flaunt: Oversized Why: These add dimension to your look and give you a bit of shadow to create more contoured face shapes Let’s Phase It ($16), available at Edge of Urge
		Square-shaped  Translation: Most easily identified by wide cheekbones, you also might have a more flat forehead and jaw line Flaunt: Ovals, slightly rounded lenses, and wrap arounds Why: You need something to juxtapose the lovely, harder angles of your face.
