But I will say I reach for the black Chanels over and over. Classic elegance. </p> <p>Also, don't forget about comfort. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/brown-or-black-sunglasses-for-a-blond#post-345661 Sat, 07 May 2011 04:07:35 +0000 annagybe 345661@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I wear a lot of black, but my sunglasses aren't black. I have grey, white, tortoise, and metal framed.<br /> Can't help on shape though. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/brown-or-black-sunglasses-for-a-blond#post-345625 Sat, 07 May 2011 02:41:18 +0000 Steph 345625@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think you look good in both pairs, but I do prefer the first--I think they work really well with your face. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/brown-or-black-sunglasses-for-a-blond#post-345617 Sat, 07 May 2011 02:12:17 +0000 Angie 345617@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Not too big at all </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/brown-or-black-sunglasses-for-a-blond#post-345609 Sat, 07 May 2011 02:02:13 +0000 marianna 345609@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>:)</p> <p>So they're not too big?

I think they might be a tad bit too big? Not sure. I tried on a bunch more today but this is the only picture I snapped. Are these better or worse?</p> <p>I tried on a different pair of Tom Ford, that were a bit larger, and I think better. I should have taken a picture but I feel super bashful taking photos of myself!!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/brown-or-black-sunglasses-for-a-blond#post-345434 Fri, 06 May 2011 20:54:20 +0000 Anonymous 345434@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Mo, I think these would look fabulous on you!! They are a pretty, translucent almond color. Low contrast and very flattering. Hope you post pics if you try them! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/brown-or-black-sunglasses-for-a-blond#post-345411 Fri, 06 May 2011 19:40:39 +0000 Mo 345411@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sammi, thanks for mentioning these. I have a narrow face and have trouble finding sunglasses to fit. I often look for clear acrylic frames so they kind of disappear at the edges. I will try these out next opportunity! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/brown-or-black-sunglasses-for-a-blond#post-345307 Fri, 06 May 2011 15:55:47 +0000 Anonymous 345307@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>If you are looking at Ray-Bans, I am blond and have these two tone ones (satin black) which I love:</p> <p><a href="http://shop.nordstrom.com/s/ray-ban-new-small-wayfarer-sunglasses/2982403?id=10511142&#038;largeImg=0&#038;tn=largerview_popup&#038;tname=product" rel="nofollow">http://shop.nordstrom.com/s/ra.....me=product</a></p> <p>I'd planned to get tortoise, but the two tone ones were actually much better when I tried them on. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/brown-or-black-sunglasses-for-a-blond#post-345270 Fri, 06 May 2011 15:15:53 +0000 Heather 345270@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Is that the papparazzi outside?

Seems like I'm hopeless in this category! Thank you! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/brown-or-black-sunglasses-for-a-blond#post-345225 Fri, 06 May 2011 14:08:45 +0000 Angie 345225@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sorry to be a complete *spanner*. </p> <p>These sunglasses are lovely, Marianna! But a pair with thicker temples will be killer. Either black, brown, tortoise shell or white is great for blondes. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/brown-or-black-sunglasses-for-a-blond#post-345200 Fri, 06 May 2011 12:53:15 +0000 Melissa 345200@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look wonderful in them, Marianna. Great color, great shape. I vote go for it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/brown-or-black-sunglasses-for-a-blond#post-345181 Fri, 06 May 2011 08:17:52 +0000 Aunty 345181@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>They look great on you!!<br /> I have very dark hair, but I find black too stark.<br /> Go for it </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/brown-or-black-sunglasses-for-a-blond#post-345178 Fri, 06 May 2011 06:24:34 +0000 Diana 345178@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>These look great, and seem to fit you very well, so I say yay as well. The color looks good to me, and I think you are right that black might be too stark. I don't ever worry about matching my sunglasses or even my regular glasses to my clothing unless they are a really bright color. In any case, I always get grey lenses.... Which is something you may want to consider, since I for one find seeing the world through a brown (or any color other than grey) tint really unpleasant, even though it may look cool fashion-wise. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/brown-or-black-sunglasses-for-a-blond#post-345155 Fri, 06 May 2011 05:01:33 +0000 MsMary 345155@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look amazing, Marianna! I want to see more of that handbag! ;)</p> <p>I'm blond and I wear dark brown sunglasses because I feel like black is too stark against my skin. I love these -- I vote go for it, too! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/brown-or-black-sunglasses-for-a-blond#post-345154 Fri, 06 May 2011 05:00:31 +0000 Steph 345154@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think they look great! As for color, I would go with whatever looked best on my face/with my skin. I never think of sunglasses needing to match the color in an outfit. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/brown-or-black-sunglasses-for-a-blond#post-345153 Fri, 06 May 2011 04:56:09 +0000 Queen Mum 345153@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I really like these Marianna. I vote go for it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/brown-or-black-sunglasses-for-a-blond#post-345152 Fri, 06 May 2011 04:53:32 +0000 marianna 345152@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am planning to use some birthday money on a pair of nice sunglasses. I haven't bought sunglasses in years and I'm not really sure what I want, but I tried on a bunch today and my favorite was the Tom Ford 'Jennifer' style. I like that they're classic, yet still stylish. These are investment frames for me and I want them to be fairly timeless.</p> <p><a href="http://shop.nordstrom.com/s/tom-ford-jennifer-oval-frame-sunglasses/2940763?origin=shoppingbag" rel="nofollow">http://shop.nordstrom.com/s/to.....hoppingbag</a></p> <p>So my questions are<br /> 1) Is this shape even right for my face? They felt good on. If the shape is wrong, what should I be looking for?</p> <p>2) What color? I tried on this light brown color and they blended well with my complexion. The black were more stark but I don't have a picture. I felt like the brown looked nicer on, but I don't wear *any* brown at all. So... as a blond with fair skin, should I wear brown sunglasses, or should I stick to black because I wear more black?</p> <p>These pictures are awful! </p>
