Buggles, or oversized sunglasses that makes eyes look like the eyes of a bug, are dangerously hot this season.
The bug-eyes goggles, dubbed as "buggles" became a mainstay of fashion. With Paris Hilton sparking the craze last summer, monstrous black and brown sunglasses has made their way into every mall and every street.
The latest celeb caught in buggles' craze is Victoria Beckham who strutts her stuff in Germany ahead the pack of Footballers' Wives club, the group of wives and girlfriends of the England World cup players. Victoria Beckham does know how to pull it together, looking smashing in her oversized shades, armed with huge Hermes bags, Chloe boots and some chopped mini-shorts.
While more and more stars are buying into the fashion statement of big black sunglasses which are as important to big movie star image as big black Birkin bag, not many real women know how to make buggles work for their petite faces.
Thing is, most celebrities have prominent bone structure with well-defined noses, chins and cheekbones, while not many buggles' fans are blessed with such features. As a result, many faces appear virtually "buried" under buggles.
If you decide to go for buggles, stay away from black frames that will make you look too retro. Instead, opt for amber, brown or red transparent frames and gradually toned glasses. White is too tacky, unless you are Paris type. The outer rim of the buggle should not exceed your cheekbones, otherwise you will look like wearing a masquerage mask.
Buggles come handy when you feel like skipping makeup - with glasses covering your face like a mask, why bother with mascara and blush? Instead, load up tons of lipgloss and dust on some bronzer. This look will also hide any hangover telltale signs such as red eyes and dry dull skin.
Just one little tip: pick the buggles that offer 100% UV protection. This way, you would be both stylish and sun-wise.
