    Building a Sunglass Collection Like No Other: Your Ultimate Guide to Curating the Perfect Sunglass Collection

    Published: Dec 10, 2024 by Jennifer · This post may contain affiliate links · Leave a Comment

    A good pair of sunglasses is a piece that can tie a whole look together, protect you from the sun, and maybe even score points in the style department. Whether your style is vintage, high-fashion, or anything and everything in between, there’s a pair of sunnies for you. But why have just one when you can have – well – more than one? With this guide, you’ll be able to put together a collection of sunglasses that will have you sitting prettiest of them all!

    What To Think About When Building Your Sunglass Collection

    Your Fashion Sense

    First things first: what is your style type? Are you an ethereal pixie, a no-fuss purist, or a chic fashionista? Your aesthetic will be your north star in finding the perfect sunglasses. Consider your go-to pieces—do you dress mainly in loud prints and colors or neutral basics? Select frames that embody your look.

    If you have a bold and playful approach, you may want to source a pair of large, colorful shades that can give your style a punch. If it’s sophisticated and structured that you gravitate toward, look no further than polished black or dark tortoiseshell frames that are ageless. Just make sure whatever you choose works to elevate your outfit and mood! 

    What You Do And Where You Go

    After that, it's best to determine your day-to-day routine. Do you adventure on the weekends through the wilderness or walk down bustling city streets? Your hobbies and where you spend most of your time should drive your sunglasses-buying decisions.

    For the outdoor, adrenaline-seeking folks, seek out active frames that are durable and UV protecting with a bit of edge—wrap-around shades that can handle your bold lifestyle – Jomashop's Maui Jim sunglasses are a perfect selection here! Or opt for sleek options that can go from work to play seamlessly without compromise.

    Sampling Different Things

    When it comes to sunglasses, you don't have to stay in the sunglasses box! You can buy some glasses that may not necessarily match your usual vibe but invite you to play around with them. Shopping at a place like Jomashop will give you some fun options to play around with – and the best part is they are designer, quality, and pretty affordable! And if they don’t exactly tickle your fancy, you can wrap them up and hand them over to that friend who has been eyeing them for a while. 

    Your Budget

    Let’s get down to money talk because who doesn’t want to look amazing while saving serious coins? Deciding ahead of time how much you’d like to spend will make the quest for the perfect sunglasses more focused while you weigh your options and consider what you’d like to prioritize. While saving and splurging on fabulous, iconic looks is never a poor choice, there are plenty of labels that offer killer sunglasses at a budget-friendly rate.

    So the rules here are simple: decide on a sum that would embrace a mix of mainly high-end pieces and a few cheaper options. This way, you can enjoy unbeatable classics and still be able to play with flirty frames, keeping the spice and interest in building a collection you’ll love and adore forever. While on the subject of investing in fabulous fashions during challenging times, let’s not forget — riotously large statement sunglasses make any outfit look high-end!

    Your Face Shape 

    And now, ladies, we arrive at the crux of the matter: having an understanding of your particular face shape so you can choose your best — and most appealing — pair of sunglasses. Sunglasses that flatter your face shape are worth their weight in gold.

    Must-Have Sunglass Types For Any Collection

    The moment you’ve been waiting for — must-have styles that every woman’s sunglasses arsenal should boast!

    1.  Aviators: So classic, so instantly recognizable – and yet so mysterious and devastatingly cool. You can pair them with jeans and a t-shirt, classy gowns, and everything in between on days when you’re feeling especially unflappable.
    2.  Giant Shades: Nothing says fabulous celebrity like monstrous sunglasses. Think Miranda Priestly's iconic look in the Devil Wears Prada!
    3.  Cat Eye: Now, if you love all things 50's and would love more than anything to live in that era, then go for the vintage cat eye glasses. All you have to do is pop these on – and voila – you will look 50’s and vintage without even trying 
    4.  Tortoiseshell/Horn-Rimmed: These are the all-rounder glasses. Elegant but not too extravagant, stylish but quiet. These frames bridge the gap between beachy vibes and the country club.

    A To-Die-For Sunglass Collection

    There is nothing quite like being able to walk into your closet to get ready for any kind of day (be it a wedding, brunch, picnic, or black tie event) and pulling out a pair of glasses that matches your outfit and mood! And this is exactly the sort of thing you get with a sunglass collection!
