Base your shades on your face.

Yes, the oversized shades are in now, and yes sunglasses with slightly larger lenses are fashionable now. However, dont just choose the first pair of enormous shades that are black. Think about the shape of your face and the shape of the frame of the sunglasses to make your style hot!

If you have an oval face shape, choose glasses that have frames that are wider than the widest part of your face. Stay away from glasses that have lower temples, this will make your forehead look bigger and out of proportion to the rest of your face. It is also a good idea to follow your brow line, so it doesn't look like you are surprised or alarmed when you put the glasses on.

For a rounder face, choose frames that will make your face look thinner and elongated. This can be done with angular frames and sunglasses with higher temples which will make your face look longer. Stay away from round frames; these will make your face look more full.

If you have a diamond face shape. You should select sunglasses that widen the forehead and minimize the cheekbones. Avoid decorated temples, this could make your face look disproportionate. Try rimless glasses or frames that are thicker on top.

We hope this was helpful to you.
