Fall Sunglasses Trends

Trends in sunglasses for fall 2009

Next to finding jeans that make your butt look perky, shopping for sunglasses is undoubtedly one of the biggest chores on your to-do list for summer and fall. You can’t live without a pair of fetching frames—especially on days when you don’t want to bother with eye makeup or need to shield delicate skin around the eyes from UV rays. Here’s a roundup of summer and fall 2009’s sunglasses trends. Get dibs on the best pair for your face shape.

Aviator Sunglasses For Heart Shaped Faces

Wingmen Maverick and Goose are the inspiration behind the season’s wire framed aviator sunglasses, which are now completely luxe-looking and ideal for heart shaped faces. Trade in last year’s silver aviators for a striking shade of gold to look less sporty and more glamazon.

Cat Eye Sunglasses For Square Faces

Taking their cues from songstress Lisa Loeb and Lolita-esque females like Adrienne Forrester (played by Alicia Silverstone in the '90s movie The Crush), cat eye sunglasses are perfect for the gal who likes her fashion a little left of center. Equal parts playful and glam, this shape of sunglasses is ideal for square shaped faces.

Butterfly Frames For Oval Faces

Moschino and Prada have cornered the market on butterfly sunglasses, which are relatively new to the high fashion scene and best suited for oval face shapes. Aptly named for their wing-shaped frames, these sunglasses add a hipster edge to an otherwise ho-hum ensemble.

Square Frame Sunglasses For Round Faces

If you have a round face, give your look an of-the-moment Jackie O twist with oversized square frames. The angles will balance the soft contours of your face. Go for bold in saucy colors and wild prints. --Stephanie Simons
