How to wear your Rayban sunglasses Hollywood-style

The return of the Rayban sunglasses happened when Carrie Bradshaw of the infamous Sex and the City strutted around New York in her designer lenses. She looked fabulous.
For us mere mortals, who do not have access to personal make-up artists and stylists, who want to look like a goddess in our Rayban sunglasses, here are a couple of tips on wearing Rayban sunglasses and scoring that Hollywood look.
The focus is to select an unobtrusive, easy-to-wear frame that compliments your face shape and blends into your overall look-- like the most fabulously subtle accessory. Paired with a white tank and your sexiest jeans, your Rayban sunglasses will bring the whole outfit together and have that simple glam style.
Or, why not try a frame that unexpectedly defies predictability and anchors your personal style? Then again, how about choosing a few pairs that fit your different moods? What's key is to remember that not every face looks great in every shape frame.
After an exasperating session of trying on a different shapes, it is no wonder that you end up tired and not want to buy those Rayban sunglasses at all. Once you have narrowed down your picks to just a few, individually compare each style in the mirror and how it holds up on your face.
Rayban sunglasses should be in proportion to face size. Example, large full faces are flattered by more oversized frames, yet a petite face would appear "bug-eyed" in the same scale of frame.
The most suitable frame shape is the opposite of your face shape. Angular-shaped faces look better with rounder frames. Softer, fuller faces are enhanced with sharper-edged frame shapes.
Use frame shapes to help create the illusion of a more oval face. Narrow rectangle frames lengthen a round face. Full-bottomed frames balance a wide forehead. A square face appears softer with an oval frame. A narrow forehead will appear fuller with a cat eye frame. Rayban sunglasses on the Olsen twins will not look as amazing when worn by Lindsay Lohan.
Rayban sunglasses should complement but not compete with your hairstyle; be sure not to get carried away with a fussy frame if you favor big hair. The key is to try it on. You will require different shapes of Rayban sunglasses when you change hairstyle. You won't exactly look the same when your hair is a bob or when it's full-on beauty queen hair- waves and frills and all.
If you prefer a colored Rayban sunglasses, opt for one that enhances skin tone and hair shade, rather than just choosing the trend color of the moment. We all have different undertones. Olive, peach, pink. These undertones not only dictate the color of cosmetics which look good on us but also the color of our sunglasses.
Our faces are not always in perfect balance, be sure your Rayban sunglasses rest evenly on ears and cross eyebrows at the same level to avoid a seesaw effect. Even if you think you have the most perfect pair of Rayban sunglasses but it doesn't rest perfectly on our face, don't buy it! The only thing worse than spending a few hundreds on skewed Rayban sunglasses is wearing them. SO not Hollywood.
So get that perfect pair of Rayban sunglasses and strut your stuff, Hollywood-style!
