A quality pair of sunglasses should not only play a vital role in preserving eye health and ensuring clear vision, but also add a cool factor to your look. These are the essential things to look out for when choosing your next pair of sunglasses:
1. Your glasses should feel like you. The perfect pair should balance your features, shape, colour, proportion and all, without overwhelming, or overshadowing them. Focus less on “rules” and more on what makes you feel confident when you look in the mirror.
2. Lens tints aren’t just for visual aesthetics, they serve real purposes. Grey tints tone down brightness without messing with colours, so those are better suited for most situations. Amber on the other hand, boosts your depth perception in low light. Mirrored lenses handle intense glare, and gradients, which fade from dark to light, are ideal for both driving and regular usage.
3. Vintage-inspired shapes, animal prints, and retro designs make statements, and would aid you in separating yourself from the crowd. The practical considerations do matter, sure, but looking hot in your sunglasses usually tops the priority list!
4. Your sunglasses should fit properly. (There’s no use in getting sunglasses if you can’t even put them on!) They shouldn’t be too loose or too tight, and the lenses should not be close enough to touch your eyelashes. Choose sunglasses that are the right size to minimize the amount of UV light entering your eyes, providing better skin, and eye protection.
5. Hold the sunglasses out in front of you and look through the lenses at something straight, like the doorframe to one of your rooms. If the straight edge begins to look wavy, or distorted, the lenses aren’t up to par. Quality lenses should keep straight lines straight.
