Ask Angie: Sunglasses

fluffyshoppaholic

Hi all!

I have been looking to buy a new pair of sunglasses for summer this year. I am currently in love with the half frame retro oval sunglasses: click link below for an example

http://www.asos.com/pgeproduct.aspx?iid=3545061

I have an oval face shape with black hair and I am dark skinned as you can see on my photo. Taking all of this into consideration, do you have any advice as to what type of sunglasses would suit me (whether the ones on the above link would), whether I should go full framed or half, and colour?

Any advice is appreciated!

Thank you,

I'd love to help you with your sunnies search. Fun.

It's impossible to do so without visuals though. It's best to try out a whole slew of shapes, photograph them, and post them here so that we can make informed decisions with you. Does that sound like a plan?

Yeah sounds good! I don't want to buy them without trying them on so I will do that and post some pictures soon

Also, I have dark skin but with very warm undertones, do you think I should get a black tined pair of glasses or brown tinted? I am getting mixed opinions about it, I already have a black pair and wanted to go for a change, but I wonder if the brown will camouflage too much with my skin. But I don't want to have too much black because my hair is jet black.

What do you think?
