Hi all,

Excited to bring you a new Let’s Go Shopping try-on series, and today’s haul is a bit different: we’re doing sunglasses and, in particular, doing a fun splurge vs look-for-less comparison between beautiful designer pairs, and similar Amazon finds. So let’s dive right in!

Designer vs Affordable

Sunglasses are one of those items that people have mixed emotions with. Some believe you should splurge on them because you’re likely to wear them everyday and they can last you a long time if you take care of them. Others tend to be believe that it’s better to have several more affordable options so you can play around with them and your outfit. Plus, you never know when they’ll get lost! Today, I thought it would be fun to provide you with a bit of both for almost every pair. That way, no matter which side you lean on, you’ll find one just for you!

Me, personally? I’m a bit of a mix. I like some designer sunglasses, but also like having options to choose from to complement the outfit!

How Sunglasses can boost our confidence

Apart from protecting our eyes from the sun, sunglasses can allow for a quick confidence boost.

How? Well they act as a shield or barrier to our eyes, preventing others from reading our body language that is shown through our eyes. Emotions like fear, surprise, disgust, and sadness can all be revealed just by looking at someone’s eyes.

The act of being in control of what we choose to show other people can then help boost our confidence by hiding behind them.

Trendy vs Classic

-Trendier and atypical shapes like:

• Heart shaped

• Cat eye

• Rectangular shaped

• Rimless

Can help reveal an outgoing, friendly personality. And if you’re more of a shy person, opting for a fun accessory can help be a conversation starter piece if you’re looking for someone to start a conversation with you!

-Classic shapes and neutral colors, including aviators, for example can help reveal someone that is more reliable and that appreciates structure in their lives.
