OK, I need suggestions here about what kind of sunglasses to get.
I have a round face and dark features olive skin tone, brown hair and eyes.
I have no idea where to start.... my sunglasses have always my prescription glasses that turn dark automatically when you go into the sun.
I now need to get some non prescription sun glasses?
Any particular brands I should be looking at?
clueless.... :o
I absolutely love maui jim's but they are expensive.
Last year hubby bought me a pair of Oakleys to take with us to Hawaii and I LOVED them!!!
I wore them everyday until Tyler got his mits on them and snapped them in two :( They are a little pricey and run around $100 but they are excellent glasses and offer great protection for your eyes from the sun.
I have a roundish face too and I've been told I look the best in rectangular frames that are black or tortoiseshell in color. You could probably get away with just about any color with an olive skin tone though :) I am pale as pale can be :rolleyes:
Looking at both brands now (websites) ...
of course the one I like looks to cost over 200 dollars. wow
Thanks for the info.
These are the ones I have...actually they broke in half but the lenses are still good, I think I am going to send them in for a new frame for 90 dollars, I think I paid over 200 for them.
The lenses have withstood me throwing them in my purse with no case for 2 years without a scratch and the polerization is unbelievable.

Very nice.
I don't think I'd look good in them though.
Round face.... :(
... looking at the round face suggestions on the site...
I like these...

whadyathink?
If you go to their website they have a place to select frames for different face shapes...I don't know what my face is but it is fat :D
Then again... these lenses are Polo brand and lasted a LOOOOONG time. I think they were around $20
Those are really nice looking!!Quote:

I guess I should actually go to a store and try some on. :p
I really like all 3 kinds.
I am willing to spend about $100, but not much more.
Most of the local sunglass shops here have the oakleys and maui jims.
:)
We camp at the ocean and when I wear the maui jim's I can see INTO the water, it is really wierd if you are not use to polarized.
good luck!!
Carmen, I, too have a very round face and have found that Vogues look good on me, but I have a hard time finding them. I recently bought a pair of Ray Ban's that I LOVE.
I would suggest going to Sunglass Hut. If they don't have a pair that will look good on you, NO ONE will! ;) j/k. Seriously, they have such a HUGE selection in styles and prices.
I tried on a pair of Versace glasses not knowing they were Versace and was ready to buy them because I loved them so much. Then I saw the $400 price tag. :eek: :rolleyes:
This picture is one of the Vogue pairs that I had.
