A sunglass is a real character builder. Or at least they play a larger roll in the character that you play to others. They’re front and center and they can literally change the shape of your face. So before you buy your next pair of shades, think about what might be saying to the world. Having said that, we will be discussing what a sunglass can say about your personality.

Below Are What Sunglass Says About You

Chunky & Square Sunglass

Chunky square frames are often associated with rapstars, or guys trying to live rapstart lifestyles. Usually seen paired with high-end designer streetwear, a lot of black, and unnecessary leather. It’s a bold, in your face, “ I’m getting mine”kind of look, which can be cool if done with at least some  air of subtlety.

Small & Round Sunglass

A petite round frame in black is smart, sophisticated, and a bit dandy. It has an European, perhaps French, feel. If not borderline snobbish, it’s a smart look that’s intriguing because of it’s understated simplicity and delicate scale.

 Dark Browlines Sunglass

Browline glasses are old school. Retro, They were the gold standard for style in the 1950s and 1960s. Think Don Draper. The style’s popularity rose to the point that browline glasses accounted for half of all eyewear sales in America in 1950s. As a result, many famous figures wore browlines, including activist Malcolm X and movie star James Dean. It’s a smart, slightly serious style that has a timeless appeal.

Oversized Cat Eyes Sunglass

An oversized frame in the cat-eye shape is not a timid look. It’s bold, slightly feminine, and very fashionista. It’s a look that is subtlety, but purposely, meant to look expensive and refined. Usually paired with pieces to show ostentatious wealth, or at least the potential thereof.

Plastic Wrap-Around

Wrap-around sunglasses are great for hiking, outdoor sports, and  playing golf. They can also double as safety goggles. Think of them as equipment. Probably not ideal for a suit and tie or a date in the park.

Wire Aviator Sunglass

This is an official sunglass for all American guy. The jeans and t-shirt guy. They’re called “aviators”  because they were originally developed to protect the eyes of pilots in the American military. This particular pair was made in America and has the wrap around ear pieces to keep them locked in place – a design created for fighter pilots who had to fly upside down.
