Glasses for the Blue Eyed Fashion Fiend

Filed Under Brand Wave, Designer Eyeglasses, Designer Sunglasses, Eyewear Knowledge 


Brown-eyes beauties have it easy when it comes to fashionable frames while the blue-eyes darlings have several things to consider when choosing colorful and fashionable frames. Prada, for example, is a design best suited for brunettes with dark features and high cheek bones. While Prada on a fair skinned person is common, especially in Hollywood where everyone idolizes fashion, it is not recommended. Prada is a dark brand that favors thick lines, bold textures and seemingly daunting shapes. It takes a very strong face to hold Prada shades, and most blondes do not have the features such bold designs require.

For blue eyed babes, the best bet is to show off your peepers with frames that follow your cheekbone line and sit, nearly invisibly, on your face. Brunettes may have it easy, but blondes still have more fun. Here are some fun alternatives to the ‘back in black’ Prada trends that have woefully swept the nation.

Dior sunglasses offer something unique in the fashion world– gradient tinting that isn’t tacky. For blondes, this is the manna from fashion heaven. With light eyes, light hair and light skin, your features demand subtle color and soft lines, not dark and harsh frames. Dior offers thin metal frames, usually very appealing on a blonde, as well as colored, gradient tinting to extenuate your eye color and bring out the highlights in your hair.

Like Dior, D&G offers gradient tinted lenses and lightweight, metal frames. Choose the design and model that fits your cheek and jaw line and looks natural on your face rather than overbearing. Remember that fashion trends are not for everyone, if you are blonde then pass on Prada this season. This year, Prada has proven that too much of a good thing can be bad!
