We all have that one style, shape or brand of sunglasses that we own or will always reach for first when we go shopping. Have you ever thought about what draws you to that particular pair of sunglasses or glasses? Is the majority of your eyewear of the same brand, style or shape? A recent study found that the styles and accessories we choose are inherently linked to our personalities. So in short, what you wear and what you consciously choose to wear say a lot about you.

Cat – eye

This style is seen as a veteran style that has been around for a long time. If you are a Mad Men fan (like us) you might remember seeing some styles 60’s inspired frames in this style. Since this shape of frames is known to act as a natural face lift and enhances the cheekbones and angular features of your face, it would suggest that you are someone who cares a lot about their appearance and makes an effort to look great. Our favourite cat – eye frame at the moment is the Chanel 3303B. Regal and statuesque in design.

Rectangle

Rectangle frames are perhaps the most basic and standard style of frames on the market today. They have even outlived some of the crazier shapes that were around when they first strolled onto the scene. You are a simple person who loves a trendy minimalistic and well put together outfit. Your wardrobe could include simple core colours and a multitude of monochrome options. We like the Ray-Ban Wayfarer RB5184 glasses in a cool toned gradient grey on black colour. Simple yet stylish.

Square

The square shaped frame is much beloved as it is versatile and can be suited to multiple face shapes. This shape is good for those that like to switch up their style so to speak. You are probably a high energy person who likes to experience new things and likes to take risk, no matter how big or small they may be. For you, we like the Céline CL41351 glasses in their trendy and unique Havana colour. Chic Parisian Flair.
