I might have mentioned this before, but one more time won't do it any harm: this summer, as far as accessories are concerned, the word of the day is "colorful". This also - or rather, particularly - applies to sunglasses. If so far you thought (and for good reason, maybe) that colorful was cheap, this season the colorful sunglasses are any girl's best friend. Let your imagination run wild and pick out any pair that looks good on you - and in case you're in need of a little inspiration, have a look at how the stars do it and then get down to some mixing and matching of your own.

So, sunglasses 101: the more colored, the better. Whether we're talking Angelina Jolie slightly toned-down shades, white-rimmed Gwen Stefani style or Paris Hilton and Nicole Richie bright red, it's all about going big and blending in any bold shades that best match your hair, complexion and face structure. Always dreamed of going out to lunch with your friends wearing a red babydoll camisole dress (also a season must-have) and matching oversize green and red glasses? Well, now's the time to give up any and all style inhibitions and go for it.

So, whether we're talking red, green or blue glasses, if they're colored and look good on you, don't think twice. One major advantage of this type of glasses is the fact that you can opt for a wide variety of styles and color combinations that best match your personal style and the shades that predominate in your own wardrobe. Also, you don't have to spend a fortune on your glasses to look great in them. Keep in mind that because they're so extravagantly colored, you're probably going to need more than one pair of glasses to match your summer outfits. Go for the basic colors - red, blue, even orange or yellow - a purple pair wouldn't go amiss either. Pick whatever color fits your mood better and hit the town - you're bound to turn heads wherever you go.
