As people become wiser and more health conscious nowadays, BMI is the simpliest way of instantly knowing the one's current body standing.

Thursday, May 15, 2008

Besides from its practical use, became a famous additive to complete a fashion statement. Whether sun bathing at the white sand beach or just strolling in downtown streets, is a must-have.

Composed of three parts (the lens, the frame and the nose bridge), due to the advent of modern development these parts vary dependently in style, fashion and purpose to cope the demand of the public.

There are few things to remember when purchasing sunglasses.

GENERAL RULE:
  • FIT. Fitting is the most vital factor to consider before buying. You don't want to end up "Buying without Using". Therefore, it should fit perfectly to your face without any unnecessary distractions such as the sidepieces dig into your ears or the lens touch your eyelashes.
  • UV PROTECTION. Expensive brands and cheap polarized sunglasses do not guarrantee optimal ultraviolet (UV) protection. The best way is to look for the standard seal (Australian, US or European standards), buy from a reputable store and have it tested by optician.
FASHION RULE:
  • OVAL faces. Lucky for you if you have an oval-shaped face because any style is simply perfect for you.
  • ROUND faces. Try to contrast the roundness of your face by choosing angular frames, shades with high temples and wider sidepieces.
  • SQUARE faces. Look for frames with curves, this will detract attention from the squareness of the jaw.
  • LONG faces. Shapes with curves in wide frames is the excellent choice.
  • HEART faces. Frames with rounded upper corner and square bottom will contrast the shape of your face.

So whatever kind of face you have, the secret of being stylish with your eyewear is simply by contrasting the shape of your face.
