Some of you might be scared of choosing the right sunglasses for you, so to make it easier just follow the golden rule: your face shape should be opposite of your sunglasses. If you have a roundshaped face, go for square or rectangular ones. If you have a squareshaped face, opt for rounded one to soften your features. If you have a heart shaped face, because your jaw is narrow, pick a pair of sunglasses that is wider on the top that at the bottom, like aviators. And lastly, if you have an ovalshaped face, well consider yourself blessed because any pair will work for you! Prices may change without prior notice.
