Big shades are THE indispensable accessory, as paparazzi shots of Hollywood’s young and trendy show. Large-frame sunglasses add a touch of glamour and mystery to even the most pedestrian outfits—and, of course, also do a great job of shading eyes from the sun’s glare. The trick in finding the perfect pair of big shades is picking the right shape for your face: those with more angular jawlines should opt for soft, curvy frames, while rounder faces are flattered by rectangular pairs.

Large-frame sunglasses are available in optical stores and boutiques all over the city in various price ranges and styles. Channel Angelina Jolie’s strong, sexy vibe with a pair of metal-framed aviators, or, like Lindsay Lohan, go the funkier route with a chunky plastic pair (red and white are two colors to try). Of course, one can’t go wrong taking a page from elegant Audrey Hepburn—as the centerpiece of their 2007 collection, Ray-Ban is highlighting their classic Wayfarer design, the iconic sunglasses worn by Audrey in her role as Holly Golightly in Breakfast at Tiffany’s.
