ince being established by the
Marciano brothers in 1981, Guess
has evolved into an internationally
successful and iconic brand which
appeals to the mass market. Whilst it
is known for its clothing, Guess is also
renowned for its on-trend yet timeless
sunglasses. A stream of celebrities and
personalities are constantly spotted
in their designs, presumably because,
season-after-season, the brand releases a
collection of sunglasses that are abstract,
fresh and quite simply, sexy.The heritage of
Guess lies in the Marciano brothers’ quest
for the American Dream and, after a sneak
peak at the 2013 collection of sunnies, it is
easy to see how this ethos of inspiration,
innovation and hard work lives on with the
brand.
Whether you are male or female, we all
know that the hunt for the perfect pair
of sunglasses is painstakingly frustrating.
We have seen the frames we want on a
celebrity or in advertisements but when
we get to the store, grab the pair we have
been lusting after and take a peek in the
mirror (which are always too small by the
way!), for some reason we end up looking
as though we’ve been hanging out in a
science laboratory for far too long. The
problem is that we just don’t know what
suits us; we see Victoria Beckham wearing
oversized sunglasses and think that they will
make us look every bit as sophisticated and
runway-ready as she does, but the reality is
that one face just does not have the same
dimensions or shape as another.
Along with the launch of their brand new
2013 Eyewear Lookbook, Guess have also
released a must-have guide advising us on
which shape (of sunglasses) suits which face.
Below is a pick of our favourite pieces and,
for your benefit (and to ensure that you
look stylish, rather than silly this summer),
we have highlighted which sunglasses make
