Sunglasses are an essential summer accessory for both men and women. A correctly selected model harmoniously complements the image. But, in addition, the accessory must provide reliable eye protection. Therefore, when choosing a suitable model, you need to pay attention not only to the shape, color and design, but also to the quality of the materials.
Important! Low-quality lenses will not only not protect your eyes, but will also harm them.
How to choose women's sunglasses
Before you begin choosing the optimal model, you need to consider several recommendations:
- Ophthalmologists say protecting your eyes is more important than protecting your skin. Therefore, before purchasing, you should make sure that the lenses and frames are made of high-quality material, that the accessory has all the necessary certificates, and find out the country and manufacturer.
- Accessories with plastic lenses are not inferior in efficiency to products with glass.Most manufacturers produce accessories made of high-quality and impact-resistant plastic. In addition, in some cases it is impossible to apply additional filters against ultraviolet rays to glass lenses.
- Before purchasing a summer accessory, you should read its passport. You need to pay attention to such a parameter as the length of the blocked waves. It must be at least 400 nm.
Important! When choosing a suitable model, you should take into account your face type and hair color.
To suit your face shape
First you need to accurately determine the shape of your face. You need to stand in front of a mirror. Standing straight, carefully outline the outline of the reflection. Then evaluate the result.
Round type
The chin is small and rounded. The face has the same width and length. Properly selected glasses should lengthen your face. Therefore, dark-colored frames are suitable. Suitable for round type:
- "feline";
- pointed;
- rectangular;
- square.
Oval type
The length is slightly narrower than the width. Massive accessories should be avoided. It is also important that the upper limit of the glasses should not be higher than the eyebrows. The best options are:
- glasses with smooth frames;
- "butterflies";
- "feline"
Square face
The cheekbones and chin are angular in shape, the width is almost equal to the length. Models with regular geometric shapes are not suitable. Therefore, preference should be given to rounded frames. Suitable options:
- large glasses;
- with multi-colored frames;
- without frame;
- "feline";
- rounded - oval, round.
Rectangular type
The face has an oblong shape. The chin is slightly angular. It is worth giving preference to accessories with large frames. Optimal options:
- large size accessories;
- models with round frames.
Heart-shaped type
The face is long, the chin is the narrowest part of the face. Visually, this type of face looks like an inverted triangle. The most suitable are:
- round glasses;
- in a thin frame.
Triangular face type
A correctly selected model should make the upper part of the face wider. Optimal options:
- with round frame;
- without frame or with frame without bright decorations.
Important! The Aviators model is universal and suitable for all face types.
To match your hair color
When choosing the right accessory model, you should take into account hair color. The shade of the frame should be in harmony with them. For brunettes, the best option would be black glasses with golden ornaments. Dark-haired girls need to pay attention to models with brown or dark red frames, blondes - golden or silver. Accessories in bronze and copper tones are suitable for red-haired and fair-haired people.
Which is better - plastic or glass?
All well-known brands produce models made of both glass and plastic. Both materials have their advantages.
- Glass. The material protects well from UV rays. For maximum protection, an additional layer of protective coating is applied to it. Unlike plastic, glass is practically scratch-resistant and resistant to temperature changes. But this is a fragile material, so the product breaks easily.
- Plastic. In some cases, this material is superior to glass. Plastic provides maximum eye protection from UV rays. Such products are lightweight and cannot be broken, unlike lenses made of glass. But they can easily be scratched, and if heated too much, the product may lose its shape.
Both materials provide essential eye protection. Therefore, when choosing, you should rely on personal preferences.
Which lens color to choose
The quality of eye protection does not depend on the color of the lenses. Even transparent models provide optimal protection. The optimal lenses are those whose color is closest to natural - gray, gray-green or brown. Colored lenses lead to eye fatigue. Therefore, you should refuse to purchase accessories in blue, pink or yellow.
Important! There is no need to look at the sun, no matter how high-quality and dark the glasses are!
When purchasing, do not forget that the product must be of high quality and comfortable. A correctly selected model will make the owner’s image stylish and harmonious. And high-quality materials can provide the necessary protection for the eyes.
