Five Steps to Finding the Perfect Spring Sunglasses
Filed Under Brand Wave, Designer Sunglasses, Eyewear Knowledge
With spring soon upon us, and leafless trees all around, the sun is in its most damaging season. Though spring is associated with life, growth and renewal, for the human-eye spring is one of the most harmful times. Sunglasses in the winter and spring are more important, ironically, than in summer because summer at least offers shade, and the constant heat that reminds you to cover your skin in SPF and your eyes in UV protection. As you shop for your next pair of spring sunglasses, be sure to keep a few important things in mind.
1) Though a fashion statement and a must-have accessory for your spring wardrobe, remember that first and foremost your sunglasses need to protect your eyes in order to keep you young, hip and wrinkle-free. Make UV protection a priority for your sunglasses. UV protection comes in any shade of lens, so it will not hinder the look of your sunglasses in any way.
2) Consider the advantages of lens coatings. Before we jump into fashion tips, here are a few pointers about lens coatings to help you choose the best for your eyes. For starters, scratch, smear and water resistant lenses are useful for athletes while anti-glare and polarization are useful for those often on the road.
3) Fit the frames to your face, don’t just follow the fad. All important in highest of fashion- accentuate your GOOD features. Check out this recent picture of Courtney Love in the latest sunglasses fad. Despite being “in style” Courtney is demonstrating that she knows little of fashion. Her blonde hair and oval face demand square frames, not round. Make sure to match your features to your shades to avoid a Courtney mishap.
4) When in doubt go name-brand. Name brand sunglasses are high-quality, recognizable and sure to impress. Whenever possible, go with a recognized or up-and-coming name.
5) Finally, Avoid add-ons to your sunglasses. Nothing says “trying too hard” more than sunglasses straps, clip on lenses or interchangeable frames.
Good luck, and remember these five steps this spring as you shop for your 2009 sunglasses.
