Best Eyewear to Help Land Your Man

ca0630.JPGHere are a few angles to try next time you are trying to pick up Mr. Right, and how to dress for success when hunting your prey.

The mysterious stranger. For women with worldly allure, the mystery angel is the best asset to leverage. For this you’ll want to dress to impress, but with a constant sense of revealing just enough to peak your man’s curiosity. Ideally, you’ll want to find gradient sunglasses that allow some of the passion in your eyes to show through while hiding the full expression. Meanwhile, you’ll want to appear exotic and unconventionally; Bolle sunglasses will help you achieve both aims.

The sexy librarian. Smart, capable and intelligent women are attractive- a real catch for any man. Get the look with thick-temple bar frames like those from Hugo Boss, or sunglasses from Gucci. Pair this look with a cardigan, a bun in your hair and a long business skirt and you’ll have all the boys in the library swooning for you in no time.

The fun-loving flirt. Men always want to have fun, and they seek out companionship with women who look and act like they know how to play. Charm your boy with a quirky look that is both childish and suggestive, with real Natalie Portman suave. Pair child-like sunglasses like Ray Ban Wayfarers in a bright color, with a short skirt and stockings to achieve this look.

The sophisticated mama. Regardless of what every man says, there is some merit to Freud’s theory of the Oedipal complex. Men like women that, at least in some fashion, resemble their mother. Play up this angle by dressing conservatively, but spice it up with splashes of modern high fashion. Prada eyewear and a Coach bag with heels will spice up your soccer mom outfit.

Black/white/silver and gold glasses are the norm, and every design house has a line that is excellent in every tone.
