Men have more limited fashion alternatives to make an individual style statement than do women. While there are certainly possibilities in clothes and shoes, the most common choice of celebrities and growing numbers of men of all shapes, sizes, and professions is a great pair of cool vintage sunglasses. Well styled, high quality sunglasses can be distinctive to individual personalities and be an eye catching fashion accessory sure to attract questions and compliments. While those of us that work at Vintage Designer Sunglasses are admittedly sunglasses nuts, we believe men shouldn't have only 1 pair of sunglasses but rather a sunglasses collection. Different styles, shapes, and colors of rare and authentic vintage sunglasses can supplement your look at formal or informal occasions, in summer or winter seasons, out shopping or at the office, and in a flashy or understated way depending on your mood.

While there are no universal rules, the shape of your face is important when selecting the right sunglasses. Men with more square faces should generally choose sunglasses that are more rounded and not wider than your face. For really top of the line examples of the rounded look, check out vintage Revo 962 sunglasses with different colors of highly reflective Revo mirrored lenses. While they weren't cheap new and still aren't cheap today 30 years later, rare styles such as Revo 962/001 sunglasses with blue mirrored lens and tortoise shell ear stems can become one of your prized possessions for many years to come. Men with a more rounded face shape should generally choose sunglasses that are more angular at the corners to add definition to the face. Often, rectangular sunglasses such as the Revo 1126 sunglasses with etched gunmetal frame and stealth mirrored lens will look great on women with rounder faces. Men whose face shape is more oval than round have the most flexibility to choose most any sunglass style they like. If your face shape is more triangular, you will want to consider sunglasses that add width above the cheekbones to create a balancing effect such as super cool Revo 970 sunglasses or vintage original Ray-Ban Wayfarer sunglasses in a variety of colors including classic black Wayfarers.

Styling can be classic like vintage aviator sunglasses. If you're a traditionalist, you can find a variety of authentic B&L Ray-Ban aviator and shooter sunglasses throughout our inventory of vintage Ray-Ban sunglasses, but other brands also did interesting variations of aviator style sunglasses over the years such as the unique interpretation of classic aviators evident in Revo 990 and Revo 1109 sunglasses. Oversized large sunglasses are popular today with both men and women, but we don't particularly care for modern designer logo driven styles like Chanel and Versace but rather prefer the cleaner look of vintage Carrera Porsche Design or Alpina sunglasses such as Carrera 5621 and 5623 sunglasses with interchangeable lens, Carrera 5622 folding sunglasses, and the famous Alpina M1 and M3 styles from the 1980s and early 1990s. If you want a little WOW factor, you can't go wrong with vintage Persol or Cazal sunglasses such as striking Cazal 958 sunglasses.
