Eye Candy
26 Aug, 2024
When it comes to making a statement, I say, why limit yourself to just clothes? Accessories are where the magic happens, and in my book, eyewear is a must-have. Sure, my eyesight might be as clear as a foggy morning, but that’s both a blessing and a curse. Why? Because it forces me to get creative with my eyewear choices and turn them into a fashion statement!
But let's be real—finding the perfect pair of sunnies can feel like searching for a needle in a haystack. Does it suit me? Does it suit me nottt? The struggle is real, my friends.
That’s why we’ve put together this fabulous guide to help you stop playing the “Do these look good?” guessing game. And because I love you all so much, I’ve even included a list of our favourite sunnies that you can snag online or in-store at North Beach.
Wave goodbye to the guesswork and say hello to your next must-have accessory!

We’re talking diamonds, hearts, ovals, rectangles, rounds, and squares. Knowing your face shape is like having a superpower. It’s the key to nailing not just your eyewear game, but your makeup routine too. Because when it comes to choosing shades, it’s not just about what’s trendy; it’s about what makes you look and feel unstoppable.
Diamond Faces: Shine Bright Like a... Well, You Know
Got those killer cheekbones that could cut glass? Highlight those dazzling eyes and soften your angles with frames that scream "Look at me!" Go for styles with detailing or bold brow lines. Rimless? Yes, please. Oval or cat-eye shapes? Double yes. These frames will hug your face just right and keep the spotlight where it belongs—on you.
Top Picks
Cat-Eye: Because why not add a dash of feline fierceness?
Oval: Smooth and elegant, just like that sparkling personality of yours.
Rimless: For when you want your natural beauty to do all the talking.
Rectangle Faces: Balance is the Name of the Game
If your face is more rectangular than a geometry lesson, you need frames that bring harmony to your angles. Think of it as adding a little more oomph to your look. Opt for frames with more depth than width—oval and round shapes are your new BFFs. They’ll give your face that perfectly proportionate vibe without even trying.
Top Picks
Aviator: For when you want to channel your inner Top Gun.
Round: Soft, sweet, and oh-so-complementary.
Oval: Bringing that zen-like balance to your facial proportions.
Round Faces: Let’s Add Some Edge, Baby!
Round faces are all about those smooth, youthful vibes. But if you’re looking to add a little edge (pun intended), angular and geometric frames are the way to go. These styles break up the roundness and add sharp lines to elongate your face, making you look like you walked straight off a runway.
Top Picks
Rectangular: Sharp, distinct, and just what the fashion doctor ordered.
Slim Cat-Eye: Add some sass and keep ‘em guessing.
Square: For when you want to bring all the angles.
