Hi, does anybody have any sunglasses recommendations for somebody with thick eyebrows? On most pairs of aviators I try on, a bit of my eyebrows just clear the top of the rims. Would another style be more suitable? I have an oval face shape by the way. Thanks

I think knowing that knowing the number of eyebrows would be useful as well...two eyebrows?

One?

How about using an eyebrow trimmer? $18 at Sephora.

Having an oval face shape is great. I don't think the thick eyebrows will get in the way of your looks. Oval face shape is the most flexible in terms of what's sunglasses to wear. Personally, I think square frames would be great.

Perhaps a visit to a hair removal clinic for some trim & shaping?
Or a personal grooming kit (hair, beard, brows trimmer)?

How about Irish sunglasses? They're popular in Boston.

Haha no I am not on a Brehznev level. Short of a picture, the best I can describe them is that they are about 1.5 inches at their thickest point.

intuitively, it feels to me as though the thickness of the frame - to counterbalance your thick eyebrows - would be more important than the shape. for example, a wire frame like lenny is wearing in the example i posted would be the wrong way to go.
