How to Pick Sunglasses for Men

Sunglasses protect your eyes from the harsh sun's rays.

Sunglasses can give a man a sense of style and swagger when the right glasses are chosen. The wrong glasses can make him look like a nerd. Choosing the right shades for a man is a delicate balance. Take your man by the hand and get down to the shades store and find the perfect pair of eye coverings for him.

Instructions

1. Look for sunglasses that have large lenses regardless of which shape you choose. Big lenses balance out the structure of a male face better than narrower, feminine ones.

2. Select frame designs that incorporate long temple arms to keep your sunglasses at an attractive distance off your face. The width of the arm is not really relevant.

3. Examine your face shape to determine which features you should be highlighting and which you should try to tone down.

4. Select sharp, defined designs if you have softer, muted features. The lines and angles of these glasses can bring some definition to your face.

5. Choose the frame size according to the width and height of your face. Wear short, wide shapes to make your face seem slimmer and longer. Frames with height and breadth can balance out a high forehead and long face.

Tips & Warnings

• Try on many different styles that meet the criteria for your face before settling on a pair.

• Do not stay out in the sun for too long or you could harm your skin.
