Packing for summer vacation is a more difficult endeavor than it seems at the first glance. It would be much easier to wear nothing but your favorite shorts, a pair of flip flops and a cotton t-shirt, but if you want to travel as an adult man instead as a decayed college student in a drinking adventure, you will need much more than that. Being fashionable is not just a “girls’ thing”, it is something that men should strive for, no matter if they are going to an opera night or a walk in the park. This year’s vacation is the perfect opportunity to finally get a grasp of this fashion thing and gear up with all the right pieces.

Begin with picking up this season ultimate item and it is nothing else than the white jeans! It is the easiest item to style it and very difficult you can go wrong with it. To be safe I chose a classic pair of suede boots and a suede brown tshirt that gave me this extra stylish thing that I wanted to achieve! Do not forget to pack a nice black pair of sunglasses as well that goes with everything!

Hey Guys!

I just wanted to share with you in this post my latest obsession! And it is nothing else than this amazing YSL pair of sunglasses that stole my heart! A special pair of sunglasses that they gonna help you make a fashion statement for sure!

I paired with an easy outfit from ASOS and my classic pair of YSL boots.

Spring is around the corner. And it was time to search for another pair of sunglasses in order to beat the sunshine. Searching for the perfect pair of sunglasses, I found the one that I fell completely in love with them. And it is a pair of YSL sunglasses. The color, the shape, the design, everything on them felt like you need them! So, I did! I bought them.

During my last trip in London for the International launch of house99 by David Beckham, they were like my best friend. I didn't even need to take with me a second pair because they suit with all my outfits.

Go check them and do not hesitate to text me if you need some extra tips. 

Because people generally recognize you by your face, the eyeglasses you choose to wear are a very real part of your identity. Whether you want to appear sophisticated, fun-loving, youthful, conservative or style-conscious, the right eyewear can help you shape how you are perceived. And if you choose to wear only one pair of eyeglasses for everything you do, that says something 

Eyeglasses can help people see the real you, or they can help create the image you want. The key is to find the right eyeglass frames to match your personality and lifestyle. The first step, according to eyewear styling experts, is to consider the different aspects of your life. What do you really want your eyewear for? What type of work do you do?

For different looks to suit the occasion, most people can benefit from more than one pair of eyeglasses, just as they need more than one pair of shoes.

"The same pair of shoes won't take you from a cocktail party to the volleyball court to the beach to the office." 

Eyeglasses For Serious Business

To help instill trust and confidence among a wide variety of your business clients and colleagues, it's usually best to stay with conservative frame shapes and colors. Consider these choices to enhance your professional image. Thats the sunglasses that I went for!

• Titanium and stainless steel are also good choices, as are rimless and three-piece mountings.
• Traditional colors of gold, silver, brown, gray and black.
• In plastic frames, no bright colors or unusual shapes.

Silver, gunmetal, brown and black are recommended for men because these are easy, conservative tones to wear and match with business suits. Classic tortoise patterns also work well with business attire too. 

Picking out the ideal sunglasses for your face shape isn’t as easy as you might think. There are frames that work to set off your killer features, and there are frames that… don’t.

So how do you know which shades are right for you? First, you’ll need to figure out whether your face is round, oval, heart, or square. We suggest asking a friend. Once you’ve found your face shape, then you can begin picking sunglasses that will complement your features. Lucky for you, we made a guide. Read on to find the perfect pair of sunglasses for your face shape.

1. Heart Shape Face

The narrowest point of a heart-shaped face is the jawline. Any frames that are wider on the top than in the bottom work better. Below you can find some pairs that I have personal choose for you guys!

2. Round Shape Face

A round face is widest across the cheekbones and more narrow at the forehead and jawline. Oversized, rectangular and angular frames set off roundness. Below you can find as well some pairs that will fit perfectly to a round shape face. 

3. Oval Shape Face

An oval face is longer than it is wide and is the most versatile face shape, which means you can pull off round or square frames. Keep proportion in mind and try to find the right size for your face. Speaking of oval shape faces, I am the king of those. My face have exactly that shape so below I will link you the sunglasses that I am lately. 

4.  Square Shape Face

This face has a strong jaw, wide forehead and wide cheekbones. To soften those features choose sunnies with soft lines. As always below you will find some styles you can choose from.

I hope you guys enjoyed my tips on how to choose the best sunglasses for your face shape.

Do not hesitate to contact me about anything! I will continue sharing fashion tips so any request is welcome.

Cheers,

Modern handcraft, historical shapes and an illusory construction all come together in the newest model from the MYKITA / Damir Doma collection, BRADFIELD, which takes the collaboration to a new level.

BRADFIELD appears to consist of two frames. Yet on closer look the complex construction is re- vealed as a trompe l’oeil: the outer frame, a classic panto shape from only 0.5mm stainless steel is paired with perfectly rounded rims. Inspired by the pince-nez from the early 20th Century, the circular lenses appear to float before the frame-front. The trompe l’oeil aesthetic is accentuated by the visual reference to clip-on sunglasses from the 1980s.

The perceived complexity of the construction is just an illusion in this case. In actual fact the frame-front, as per MYKITA’s design principle, is made from one flat piece, which is folded in half in multiple steps by hand, gradually brought into shape and secured inside the outer frame with the help of two flaps. The construction is a tribute to modern handcraft.

The perfectly round lenses, a recurrent motif in the MYKITA / Damir Doma collection, meets with the classic panto glasses for an edgy look – a visual reference to the retro-futuristic style of steampunk.

BRADFIELD is available in the colourways Silver/Black with black-grey lenses, Gold/Forest Green with green lenses and Silver/Cinerous Grey with mirrored lenses in silver.

The model will arrive to all MYKITA Shops, via www.mykitadamirdoma.com, the Damir Doma flagship store as well as selected opticians and fashion stores worldwide.
