It's no surprise that a pair of sunglasses is apparently the easiest accessory to wear and gets you all the attention you want as soon as you walk out the door. You can never go wrong with a pair of knockout shades irrespective of its shape. The perfect pair of sunnies would instantly make your confidence fly out the roof and make you feel like a rockstar! And thanks to Malaysia's blazing sunshine year round, what better accessory to invest in than sunglasses.
Go on and embrace the resurgence of retro shades with some modern classic wayfarers, 50's cat-eye and 70's round frame a la John Lennon and Old Master Q (also known as Lau Fu Tze), that are bang on trend this year. These chic array of sunglasses styles would go easy on your wallet too.

If you haven't heard, there's a rule when it comes to choosing the best frames that suit your face shape. I, however, personally believe that if a pair of sunnies can make you look and feel fabulous, that's the perfect pair. It takes more than just a face shape to rock certain sunglasses perfectly; it takes a whole lot of confidence than face shape to make any sunglasses look great on the wearer. So, why bother with the rules? In fact, they should be broken to explore the uncharted territories of fashion.
A statement eyewear can transform any look from blah to stylish in mere moments. Plus, it protects your eyes from the harsh sunshine, which is what sunglasses are really for before the aspect of fashion comes into play.
