Paris Hilton, the American socialite, businesswoman, and media personality, has garnered attention for her unique sense of style over the years. Through her public appearances, whether it be attending star-studded events or having casual outings, Paris is often seen sporting sunglasses. This accessory has become such a staple for Paris that many fans associate her look with this eyewear. In fact, a TikTok video of a man retelling his experience of accidentally stealing a pair of sunglasses from Paris' car even went viral.

Whether you're a sunglasses enthusiast like Paris or you want to step out of your comfort zone and wear sunglasses for the first time, anyone can learn a lot from the fashion icon. As such, below are some useful styling tips that we can learn from Paris Hilton's appearances over the years.

Consider face shape.

Selecting frames that complement one's face shape is very important. There are many glasses for face shapes, including round, heart, diamond, triangle, and oval. Considering this when choosing sunglasses not only enhances one's overall appearance but also ensures optimal functionality and comfort. This is because each face shape has distinct characteristics that can be complemented or accentuated by the right pair of sunglasses. In the case of Paris, she is seen wearing sunglasses that balance out her square face shape. This includes oversized frames and cat-eye styles, which soften her jaw while adding some flair. She also typically chooses round-shaped over square sunglasses and is rarely seen wearing thin metal frames, as these types draw lots of attention to the chin.

Consider hair color.

Compared to face shape, hair color is a factor that is often overlooked when it comes to selecting sunglasses. However, it also plays a part in determining the overall appearance of a person wearing sunglasses. Different hair colors have distinct undertones that can either clash or enhance the overall appearance of a person when combined with specific frame colors. To complement her blonde hair, Paris is often seen wearing black sunglasses and other dark frame colors. This is because these dark shades create a striking contrast. Furthermore, she is also rarely seen wearing any yellow or gold frames, making sure to avoid sunglasses that would blend too much with her hair and potentially wash her out.

Match with outfits.

To ensure that your sunglasses don't appear disjointed from the rest of your appearance, coordinate them with your outfit. Just like any accessory, sunglasses should complement the colors and tones of your clothing rather than clash with them. While there are endless possibilities for this, Paris is often seen doing this while wearing monochromatic outfits, such as one of her past Halloween outfits where she donned a white pair of heart-shaped frames while wearing a white dress, heels, and fluffy dog ears to mimic her pet Pomeranian. Another prominent example would be one of her wedding dresses—a hot pink ensemble topped with pink heart-shaped frames, a pink veil, and pink boots. Matching her sunglasses colors with her outfits allows her to effortlessly put together harmonious looks.

Pay attention to trends.

Fashion trends have extended to the realm of eyewear, specifically sunglasses. Gone are the days when sunglasses were solely meant to protect your eyes from harmful UV rays; they have become a symbol of style, personality, and self-expression. Paying attention to sunglasses trends has become an essential aspect of staying fashionable and up-to-date. Paris exhibits this by frequently turning up in public with some of the trendiest pairs of sunglasses. From sporty frames to 70's lenses and Barbie-core colors, Paris has a little bit of everything depending on the latest fashion trends. We can also see this in her collaboration with Australian eyewear company Quay Sunglasses and the non-profit organization Project Glimmer. In it, she released 12 pieces of Y2K-inspired sunglasses, one of the trendiest fashion statements over the past few years. The collection is called 'When you wear sunglasses, you always look perfect' and includes oversized frames, bold patterns, and vibrant hues in bright pink, green, and yellow.
