What to Look For When Buying Sunglasses

With summer right around the corner, you might be thinking of investing in a new pair of sunglasses. However, the sheer amount of options available out there can be overwhelming- what kind of sunglasses will provide sufficient sun protection? What style will look best on my face? Here is an idea of what to look for in your search for the right sunglasses:

1. Style

What style of sunglasses are you looking for? There are many options- aviator, round, square, and cat eye, to name a few. Check out each style of sunglasses and see how they look on your face. You might be surprised with what ones you like the best!

2. Size

Another factor to consider is the size of the frames you choose. Some people love the look of oversized sunglasses while others prefer smaller frames. It’s all a matter of personal preference, so we suggest you try out sunglasses of all sizes to decide!

3. UV Protection

Of course, UV protection is a must-have when buying a new pair of sunglasses. UV rays can do serious damage to your eyes, so make sure the UV protection in your new sunglasses is sufficient. 

1. Color

For a long time, black was really the only color option for sunglasses. Of course, black is a classic, timeless color, but nowadays colorful frames are readily available. Consider a colorful pair to add a pop of color to your outfit!
