I love Chloe’s relaxed, slightly-seventies vibe. These shades offer up a sophisticated update to the oversized sunglass trend of a few years ago. Dainty enough to be worn countryside yet plenty of coverage for a sleek look on city streets. The only thing I’m worried about is the color — I love grey but the wrong tone can prove disasterous with my new hair color. I’m crossing my fingers that this will soften up my ashy brown color and not contrast too much against it, making my hair look more orange than it is. (Which my black Chanel sunglasses already do) Can’t wait for them to come in!

On another note, I was reading a piece in W Magazine about sunglasses titled Fit or Miss: An Asian Writer Gets Over Sunglass Envy and it kind of irked me. First of all I’m Asian, and probably an average Asian at that. The bridge of my nose isn’t particularly flat or pointy in comparison to other Asians, nor my cheekbone height. But I don’t contend that I’ve had more sunglass problems than the average girl as I feel there are many more factors to finding the right pair of shades than the bridge of the nose or the height of the cheekbones. I have many more problems finding the right aesthetic shape for my proportions or the right tilt for my face. I don’t hate on a certain designers for designing to Caucasian proportions — most designers offer up a wide range of shades to fit an even wider range of facial features. I’m not discrediting the many celebrity anecdotes quoted in the article, I’m merely pointing out that many non-Asian women find the same frustration finding the perfect pair of sunglasses for a myriad of other reasons.
