Here's a different angle on sunglasses - go square. Geometric forms are flattering and classic and suit men and women alike. They can have either an ultra-modern or a vintage feel depending on size, frame, and lens style. Often oversized, they protect the eyes from sun and curious looks. What better accessories could you ask for? After all, form follows function. And squares are all about symmetry and harmony. Sounds like a vision for perfection.
SQUARE THE CIRCLE
Iconic shapes like the Aviator and the Wayfarer can't be wrong. These glasses have history! From ladies who launch to men in uniforms. Think of a vintage Cazal, a gold-rimmed Aviator retro model fresh enough for Run DMC. Or a tantalizing tortoise rectangle, a clear unisex classic reminiscent of Aristotle Onassis. Then there's the black retro nerd or intellectual look that also happens to conjure up visions of Lou Reed. Add a black lens to finish the style to rectangular perfection. Or a green tinted lens for a more retro feel. An oversized pair of vintage shades with polarised glass lenses offers high protection for the face and eyes, while delivering an alluring touch of mystery. Color play -- a lighter clear lens tint, say a pastel blue or pink, gives the face a glow reminiscent of artfully applied highlighter or blush when framed by an oversized form, even in bold black. This flattering approach was popular in the 1970's, when beaches and boulevards were full of giant frames sporting gentle blush-tinted lenses, and it's back on the runways of Gucci and Chloé today.
SQUARE PEGS
Square-frame sunglasses stay timeless because they suit so many different kinds of face shapes. If you have rounder or softer facial features, you might opt for a square or rectangular frame slightly wider than the face in the name of balance. And for those with longer shaped faces, a square pair works harmoniously here to break up the lines of the face with all the right angles. Play around with size and frame width and color -- the options are great. Dark shades like black and brown make for a bold look, while gold and metallic frames tend subtler. Worth considering as well is the semi-rimless shape, which draws the eye high to cheekbones. Don't forget - take me to the bridge! Have a look at the frame's nose bridge. A double bridge, often seen on Aviators, provides exceptional detailing that doesn't have to look overdone. And a keyhole bridge can flatter small noses, while balancing the weight of the glasses comfortably on either side.
BE SQUARE NOW
Square sunglasses are always in fashion, as it happens. They are elegant and versatile, and a joy to wear day to day. You'll always feel free to mix and match them with whatever you care to wear. Square-frame sunglasses can add a bit of edge to ultra-feminine women's looks, and refine menswear, from boot to suit. Choose a pair with slightly curved or rounded edges to soften things up, if you like. Gradient lenses which lighten from top to bottom, from dark to clear, will lift any heaviness you encounter in a solid square sunglasses or rectangular sunglasses frame. Your favorite square sunglasses can be custom fit with fashion glass, mirror, or prescription lenses by our top opticians. Not sure square-frame sunglasses are made for you?
