God bless sunglasses!

From dark circles to tired eyes, they hide a multitude.

Whether you want one pair or a whole wardrobe full of them to go with each outfit, we’ve got  you covered. In fact, we show you how to recreate the designer look for A LOT less!

At the moment, there are a number of eyewear trends doing the celeb rounds, and if you’re not used to wearing them, it can be hard to know what to go for.

Here’s our advice. If you want something classic, we would recommend going for aviators. If you want something very current and bang-on-trend, then go for the cat eye frames. These are everywhere at the moment and there are tons of different styles to choose from too.

Whether you’re hitting the festival scene or just going for coffee with friends, our selection of designer dupes will have you looking super-stylish!

SoSueMe Tip: If you splash out on expensive frames, check their level of UV protection before you buy.

With some brands, even a simple scratch can affect the UV protection filter protecting your eyes and end up magnifying those harmful rays.

SoSueMe Tip: 

If you have high cheekbones, it might be a good idea to steer clear of over-sized sunglasses as they will more than likely mark the tops of your cheeks. Similarly if you’re petite, it’s a good idea to avoid over-sized accessories in general, and this is especially the case for sunglasses. Oversized items can overwhlem a petitie shape and make you look shorter than you actually are.

Instead opt for medium size sunglasses so that they are in proportion for your height. Of course, it goes without saying that if you love the over-sized look then go for it! If however you’re unsure and want some guidance, we would recommend sticking to medium size frames.

SoSueMe Tip: If your sunglasses mark the bridge of your nose, then they are the wrong fit for your face shape.

Other indications of a wrong fit include hurting you in any way or moving up and down whenever you smile or talk.

SoSueMe Tip: When cleaning or wiping your mirrored frames, don’t use a tissue as it will only drag the dirt across the lens and may leave a scratch or mark. Micro-fibre cloths are best.

SoSueMe Tip: If the tiny screws in your frames keep loosening, which can happen with inexpensive sunglasses, just apply a very small coat of clear nail polish over the screws. This will secure them firmly in place.
