How to choose the right sunglasses for yourself
Over the last decades, sunglasses have become a must-have fashion accessory. The infinite number of styles available in the branded range adds further confusion while making a decision on investing in a good pair of sunglasses for you. Some of the major best selling brands include Oakley, RayBan sunglasses etc.
Since we are all now well aware of the potential damage that can be caused by unprotected exposure to the UV radiation, it is important to take precautionary measures before getting out in the sun. Luckily we don’t have to look like a wreck while doing it. In fact adorning a pair of sunglasses will do you more good in terms of persona rather than anything else. So good for you!
Although price levels are not the ruling factor of how good your sunglasses protect you from the sun, chances are that cheap tinted sunglasses may offer style but leave you more at risk. Hence here are some of useful tips to help you make that right decision.
Here are some of the tips that will help you choose what works for you:
- Ultraviolet ray protection: The first and the most important thing which you need to keep in mind before selecting sunglasses is the level of protection they offer from the UV rays. It is always recommended to go for a branded pair and check the tag if it offers 100% protection from the UVA and UVB rays. Chances are high that an unbranded pair only has tints but offers no protection leaving your eyes more at risk because the pupil of the eye widens when it is made to look through a tinted screen and no protection from the UV rays increases the damage even more. Top selling brands like RayBan sunglasses (or Ray Ban solbriller as we Danes call them) and American Optical Pilot employ finer lens technology that offers superior protection from the UV rays.
- Shape of your face: If you are blessed with an oval face then you are one of those lucky people who can get away with any sunglasses and still manage to come out looking flattering. For people with a square face shape, you need to look for a pair that will manage to add a lengthening look to your face. People with a round face should aim for a pair that will not only add lengthening effect but will give a slimmer look to the face. The idea is to try and add symmetry to the face because choosing a pair of glasses that further accentuates an already obvious feature of your face gives off an uncharacteristic look.
- Functionality and Usage: You need to understand the usability of the sunglasses to make the right decision. For instance, if your routine weighs heavily around being behind the wheel for most of the day then it is recommended not to go for dark tint shades because heavy tints tend to distort color and can prove to be a nuisance while driving.
Lastly, make sure to single out the brands of your choice before heading to the mall as it will save a lot of your precious time. Some of the top selling brands to keep an eye out for are Oakley, Gucci, DKNY, Prada, Polaroid, Fendi and RayBan sunglasses.
