By far and away, aviator sunglasses are my favorite. They flatter most face shapes, and they’re nice and light. I also like them because aviators fit into your wardrobe regardless of whether your style is preppy, glamorous or casual.

Let’s not mince words: We are middle aged. We have wrinkles. We have grey hair. And we’re reaching the age where the homepage headlines feature the names of 20-something “celebrities” we’ve never even heard of.
Sometimes you have to see a piece of clothing in the wild to truly appreciate it, seeing it in the store just isn’t enough. Grey jeans, for example. On a shelf, not for me. At brunch, on a woman who looked relaxed and chic? Now, I need them.
The theme of 2013 was more is more. Wearing a bracelet? Wear five. Add a belt. Add a necklace, maybe two . . . make it three. So when I look at outfits from a decade ago, my first instinct is always: do less.

Capitol Hill Style is back! After a month-long hiatus, we have returned to celebrate boot season. As if I would miss it. For me, a committed summer girl, boot season is the primary thing that makes fall enjoyable. So let’s get to it with the best boots for Fall 2023.
I totally agree! And it’s true for both men and women. I had a guy friend once tell me that he thought he’d look dumb in them, and I was like “are you kidding me?” Then he put some on and looked like a total bad ass. Aviators ftw.

Haha, I was the same way. I didn’t think I could pull them off but my BFF handed me a pair and said “Wear these. Would I ever lie to you?” So I went with her recommendation and have liked them ever since. I’m really picky about the lens shape though.
How do you pick out a color for sunglasses? Especially if you’re cheap like me and only want to buy one pair for summer.
Well, I thing black is too severe on most people. So if you want resin, I think brown is best. If you’re talking about aviators, I say go with a classic and choose the dark grey or dark brown lenses. Save the blue gradient or greenish color for someone else.
Thank you!!
