Incognito: Chic Sunglasses


Should sunglasses always be expensive???
No, but they MUST always be fabulous!
  • In a recent conversation with a girlfriend/client in desperate need of some new sunnies I recommended investing. Upon returning to my own closet and surveying my own sunglass collection I realized...the more the merrier!
Stylist Tip: Consider your face shape when selecting styles
  • Triangle: narrow forehead, wider at cheeks & chin. Style: Aviator to create balance.
  • Round: measures equally in width and length. Style: Angular narrow frames or rectangular frames to break up the roundness.
  • Oval: perfectly symmetrical. Style: lucky gals everything looks spot on! Try wrap around for a modern vibe.
  • Diamond: High cheekbones, narrowness at the eye line and jaw. Style: Square, rimless frames to balance the widest and narrowest parts of the face.
  • Oblong: longer than it is wide. Style: frames that are deep from top to bottom or have decorative temple details which draw the eye to the middle of the head and balance the length of the face.
  • Square: broad forehead and strong jaw line. Style: narrow frames such as oval, round or cat eye.
  • Heart: wide top and tapers down toward the chin. Style: narrow on top and wider on bottom, rimless and light color shades.

So, whether you're planning to invest in a timeless pair that will last summer after summer or trying out the latest trend consider your shape before selecting your style!
