Sunglasses make great Christmas and birthday gifts because they are an affordable kind of luxury when compared to gifting favourites such as designer handbags and shoes; so if you’re feeling the pinch this year, you can still make someone feel really special with a pair of designer sunnies. They also make great gifts because they are relatively easy to choose and can be used all year round. But we’re not saying that shopping for eyewear gifts is a walk in the park either; there are still a few style rules to follow if you’re shopping for a friend or family member.

How to Choose Sunglasses for the Winter
I once had a friend called The Fonz. My friends and I first gave him this nickname when we first discovered that he never left the house without his leather jacket and a pair of sunglasses. In fact, he rarely attended an event, day or night, summer or winter, without his trusty Ray Bans. We holidayed in Ibiza; naturally, he sported sunglasses throughout the duration.

Oakley Superfan and YouTube User EyeSpy0099 has produced a few videos on his channel that caught our attention. This helpful fellow in Miami, Florida produces video reviews and features on guns, knives and Oakley Sunglasses (amongst other things).

Five Tips to Choosing the Right Sunglasses for You
Selecting new sunglasses can be a little tricky, what with all the different shapes and sizes, but shopping for a new pair of sunglasses doesn’t have to be a daunting and difficult task. Here are a few pointers that should help you pick out the perfect pair.
1. Choose the pair that complements the shape of your face
For people with a heart-shaped face, avoid aviators and cat-eye styles sunglasses as they will accentuate their typically narrow jaw line, high cheek bones, and narrow chin. In contrast, people with an oval face, can practically wear any style of sunglasses since most shapes will complement their well balanced facial features.
