<p>Essentially meant to provide protection to your eyes, sunglasses have moved beyond their ordinary persona and have become a statement and an outfit deal-breaker of their own. <br /><br />Sunglasses also say a lot about your style personality. Hence there are sunglasses for different style personalities and spans different occasions — like a rounded frame for the Coachella star and cat-eye sunnies for the vintage belle.<br /> <br />Here’s a round-up of the most promising propositions to pull your looks together.<br /><br />Coloured transparent lens<br />If you are a fan of the antics of the 70s, then this trend is tailor-made for you. Daunting at first, but extremely addictive later, it’s a trend that means summer like no other. <br /><br />Celebrities like Kendall Jenner and Hailey Baldwin have comfortably taken it out of its sleazy context and have made it cooler than ever to wear with a slogan t-shirt, jeans, boots and a fur jacket. <br /><br />Try different colours like baby blue, purple and petal pink to check which shade suits your face better. Your best bet, might we suggest, would be a pair in orange-yellow tones for a zesty punch to even the most basic outfit. <br /><br />The best part is that they are unisex! Looks like you need to make a quick run to the vintage store or your grandfather’s closet. Go an extra mile and pair it with a vintage wallpaper printed blouse and a suede mini skirt.<br /><br />Flat top sunglasses<br />Characterised by a flat top line on the brow and a sleek modern design, these sunnies are for the sophisticated and the flamboyant. <br /><br />Kim Kardashian and Victoria Beckham approved, they generally are square and oversized and suit oval and round face shapes best. Choose a pitch black version with a wide arm to go with your all-black ensembles or to complete your airport look. <br /> <br />A slicked back hairstyle, preferably a sleek ponytail, draws the attention to your eyewear. If you are a fashion path-breaker, then opt for a futuristic pair with an iridescent lens.<br /><br />Geometric and futuristic <br />Shapes other than square and circle ruled the runways, adding more variety and dimension. Nothing definitely spells fashion ‘it-girl’ louder than geometric sunglasses with a futuristic edge. <br /><br />A straight cut and wider frame surpassing your cheekbones is a pre-requisite while details like double- wire rims, half rims and mirrored lenses add to the details.<br /><br /> It certainly goes hand-in-hand with the on going digitalisation and vouches that you are ahead of the game. We also see cleaner lines in the form of interesting matrix-inspired artistry and 3D designs in sunglasses. Opt for colours like white, gunmetal, grey, black, metallics, iridescent and holographic finishes.<br /><br />Butterfly winged frames, embossed botanical motifs, bright and pastel coloured frames and ombre lenses also vow to take your sunglasses <br />beyond just mere fashion and functionality. <br /><br /> (Contributed by Farah Magi)</p>
