THE FRAME THE FACE SHAPES temple tips hinge OVAL ROUND Oval faces are well balanced, so virtually any shape will suit, as long as the sunglasses are as wide as the broadest part of your cheeks. Straight or slightly angular glasses will minimise curves. Avoid oval and circular styles, as they will make your face appear fuller. lens nose pad HEART SQUARE Semi-rimless or catseye shapes are best as they create a soft look. Avoid styles that are too top heavy as they will draw attention to your forehead. Wide and narrow sunglasses will downplay a strong jaw. Curvy styles such as catseyes will also give your face more definition. Steer clear of square frames. nose bridge front frame

THE LENS CATEGORY SUN SAFETY The Australian and European standards have five classifications of lens categories. The lens category refers to the luminous transmittance, or in layman s terms, the amount of sun glare that is filtered by the lens. All sass & bide sunglasses are either category 2 or category 3, this is the standard for fashion sunglasses. Both categories provide good UV protection. The category information is identified clearly on the reverse of the swing tag as stipulated by the Australian & New Zealand and European standards for sunglasses and fashion spectacles. sass & bide sunglasses are not just a fashion statement. They provide your eyes with protection against the sun s ultra violet rays which cause sunburn of the retina. Continual squinting in bright sunlight can cause wrinkles around the eyes. Sunburn of the delicate skin around the eye can result in premature aging.
