Posted on September 25th, 2023


In the sun-soaked streets of Los Angeles, where style and sun protection go hand in hand, finding the perfect pair of sunglasses is essential. At Diana & Patra Got Hats & Things, we understand the significance of sunglasses in completing your look and shielding your eyes from the harsh California rays. While we're known for our stunning Fedora hats, we also offer a curated collection of sunglasses that can elevate your fashion game. In this guide, we'll delve into the art of choosing the ideal sunglasses for your unique face shape, focusing on our square shades with leopard orange and purple lenses.



The Importance of Face Shape


Before diving into the specifics of our stylish square shades, let's talk about the importance of considering your face shape when selecting sunglasses. Your face shape plays a pivotal role in determining which sunglasses will complement your features and enhance your overall appearance. Whether you have a round, oval, heart-shaped, square, or diamond-shaped face, there's a perfect pair of sunglasses waiting for you. Let's explore your options.


Round Face Shape

If you have a round face characterized by soft curves and a lack of strong angles, you'll want sunglasses that add definition to your features. Our square shades with leopard-orange lenses are the ideal choice. Their sharp lines and bold frame create a striking contrast, making your face appear more angular and balanced.


Oval Face Shape

Lucky you if you have an oval face, as it's considered the most versatile shape. Almost any style of sunglasses will suit your features. However, our square shades with purple-colored lenses can add a touch of mystique to your look, enhancing your natural elegance.


Heart-Shaped Face

Heart-shaped faces are defined by a broader forehead and a narrower chin. To balance your facial proportions, opt for sunglasses with a bottom-heavy design. Our square shades with leopard orange lenses do just that, drawing attention away from your forehead and towards your eyes, creating a harmonious look.


Square Face Shape

If you have a square face characterized by strong, angular jawlines and a broad forehead, you'll want sunglasses that soften your features. Our square shades with purple-colored lenses add a touch of femininity to your look, helping to balance out your sharp lines and create a more appealing contrast.


Diamond Face Shape

Diamond-shaped faces feature high cheekbones and a narrow forehead and chin. To enhance your unique features, consider sunglasses that emphasize your cheekbones. Our square shades with leopard orange lenses provide the perfect balance between style and functionality.



Get the Look: Styling Tips for Square Shades With Leopard Orange Lens


Now that you've identified your face shape and found the perfect sunglasses, let's explore how to style our square shades with leopard orange lenses to create show-stopping looks.


Casual Chic: Pair your square shades with a white t-shirt, distressed denim, and sneakers for a laid-back yet stylish ensemble. The leopard orange lenses will add a pop of color and flair to your outfit, making it perfect for brunch with friends or a day of shopping on Melrose Avenue.


Bohemian Vibes: Embrace your inner bohemian spirit by combining your square shades with a flowy maxi dress, a floppy hat, and layered jewelry. The combination of the leopard-orange lenses and the boho-inspired attire will exude effortless charm and free-spirited energy.


Nighttime Glam: Don't reserve your square shades for daytime outings only. They can also be a statement accessory for a night on the town. Pair them with a sleek black jumpsuit, heels, and a clutch for a glamorous look that's sure to turn heads.


Beach Ready: Heading to the sunny California beaches? Don't forget to protect your eyes in style. Match your square shades with a colorful bikini, a wide-brimmed hat, and a beach tote for a chic beach-ready ensemble. The orange lenses will provide superior UV protection while keeping you fashionable.


Festival Fantasy: If you're planning to attend one of LA's renowned music festivals, our square shades with leopard orange lenses are a must-have. Combine them with a bohemian crop top, high-waisted shorts, and combat boots for a trendy festival look that's Instagram-worthy.



The Ultimate Guide to Sun Protection: Sunglasses vs. Sunscreen


While sunglasses are undoubtedly a stylish accessory, they also play a crucial role in protecting your eyes from the harmful effects of the sun's UV rays. In sunny Los Angeles, where we're blessed with beautiful weather year-round, understanding the importance of sun protection is essential.


Sunglasses as a Defense Against UV Rays

Our square shades with leopard orange lenses not only make a fashion statement but also provide exceptional UV protection. The lenses are designed to block harmful UVA and UVB rays, safeguarding your eyes from potential damage. Long-term exposure to UV rays can lead to eye conditions such as cataracts and macular degeneration. By choosing sunglasses with proper UV protection, you're investing in the health of your eyes.


Complementing Sunscreen

Sunglasses and sunscreen go hand in hand when it comes to comprehensive sun protection. While sunglasses shield your eyes, sunscreen protects your skin from UV radiation. Together, they form a powerful duo that helps you enjoy the California sun without compromising your health.


When applying sunscreen, don't forget the delicate skin around your eyes. Use a gentle, hypoallergenic sunscreen and apply it generously to your face, including the area around your eyes. Once your sunscreen is in place, don your stylish square shades with leopard orange lenses for complete sun protection and unparalleled style.



In the vibrant city of Los Angeles, where fashion and sun protection are paramount, finding the perfect pair of sunglasses is a must. At Diana & Patra Got Hats & Things, we offer a handpicked selection of square shades with leopard orange and purple colored lenses that cater to a variety of face shapes and styles.


Choosing the right sunglasses for your face shape not only enhances your look but also boosts your confidence. Whether you have a round, oval, heart-shaped, square, or diamond-shaped face, there's a pair of sunglasses that will accentuate your unique features and elevate your style.


Remember that sunglasses are not just a fashion accessory; they are also a vital tool for protecting your eyes from the harmful effects of UV rays. Our square shades with leopard orange lenses are designed with your eye health in mind, offering both style and superior sun protection.
