George Michael was very partial to wraparound dark lenses with silver frames – a dark, mysterious character who keeps his distance from the riff-raff. Jacqueline Kennedy’s persona radiated class and sophistication, and Jackie O’s quickly became a symbol of her personality. Coming to the latest rock stars in the business – Billie Eilish, Rihanna, Beyonce are all partial towards the big frame sizes, preferably with some embellishments – rock star chic all the way. No cat eyes or thin rims or plain frames for them – they all project a strong yet feminine persona, certainly not the delicate dahlings. Zendaya on the other hand prefers Aviators – they support her classy and cool look and the 'intelligent actress with a mind of her own' image. Zayn Malik - previously of the band One Direction - wears round, sleek shades with lens colours ranging from light azure to pink and light green – it just shouts out that he is a serious rocker with a penchant for profound lyrics. On the sporting side, David Beckham is partial towards a square, bold style with thick frames and lenses in brown or blue. Lewis Hamilton has sunglasses in a range of styles and lens colours including brown, blue and red and frame colours either in black or silver – an indication of his high speed, classy lifestyle. PERSONIFYING EYEWEAR Brands also have a personality of their own – Roberto Cavalli is bling all the way, Oakley is sporty, Calvin Klein is simplicity personified, Cartier is quiet, expensive sophistication, Tiffany is old- world charm, Christian Dior is feminine chic, Chopard is regal... to name a few brands that have become symbolic of people who want to project a certain style. With all that background, it does become difficult deciding what brand and eyewear style would work best for a particular personality type. Here’s an easy to follow, comprehensive list of what’s right for each personality type. THE #I AM A CELEBRITY This personality type is likely to opt for whatever their favourite Hollywood stars are wearing. Oversized or wrap- around frames, gradient lenses, bold colours, plenty of embellishments – that’s their style, not too subtle. And their brands would be Bulgari or D&G or Cavalli. THE #I AM A CONNOISSEUR The connoisseur is one who has a very subtle, individual style. These personality types will coolly spend a good amount of money on a pair of sunglasses – as long as they are the classiest pair around from high-end luxury brands. The look would be classic gold or silver frames, light coloured lenses and smaller, rounded square or SO, IF JOHN LENNON WEARS YELLOW LENSES IN ROUND SHAPED FRAMES THEN HIS PERSONALITY TYPE – HIPPIE, AVANT- GARDE GETS ASSOCIATED WITH THAT PARTICULAR STYLE 18 VISION PLUS INDIA EDITION
