Sunglasses - a must have for summer
Sunglasses are not only a fashionable accessory for summer outfits, but also a very practical item to protect your eyesight. The UV rays emitted by the sun can cause serious damage to the eyes, such as the formation of macular degeneration. Wearing sunglasses with the right UV filter helps protect the eyes and improves vision. In addition, the glasses reduce glare, which is very useful when driving or playing outdoor sports.
Shapes of sunglasses - choose the perfect model for the summer
The shape of your eyeglasses significantly influences your appearance. There are several types from which to choose the right one.
- Aviators (Pilots): Characterised by large, teardrop-shaped lenses and thin metal frames, often with a double bridge. Aviators are versatile and elegant, fitting most face shapes. They look particularly good on people with oval, square and heart-shaped faces.
- Round: Lenses with a perfectly round shape, often in metal or plastic frames. Ideal for people with square, rectangular or oval faces. Vintage and retro styles hark back to the past, and round glasses are a perfect example of this. These glasses are associated with fashion icons like John Lennon, hence their popular name - lenons.
- Cat-eye: Frames that are extended upwards, resembling the eyes of a cat. Cat eyes look good on oval, square or heart-shaped faces. This shape adds definition and elegance.
- Oval: Oval-shaped lenses, often in subtle, classic frames that do not dominate the face. They fit perfectly on most faces, especially square and rectangular faces. Ideal for those who appreciate simplicity and timeless elegance.
- Panto: Rounded, slightly oval lenses with wide frames that often taper upwards. They look good on oval, rectangular and triangular faces, emphasising natural features. Suitable for those who like distinctive, classic accessories.
- Square/Rectangular: Lenses with a square or rectangular shape. The frames can be either thick or thin. They suit a round or oval face, adding sharper lines
How do you choose the right shape of glasses?
The selection of sunglasses depends on several key factors. First and foremost, glasses should be chosen to suit the shape of your face:
- Oval face: Almost any shape fits.
- Round face: Opt for glasses with a sharper shape, such as square or rectangular.
- Square face: Looks great with rounded frames or cat-eye shapes.
- Heart-shaped face: Looks best with soft, rounded glasses without a lower frame.
- Rectangular face: Fit round or oval frames.
In addition, it is a good idea to match glasses to your lifestyle. For those who do a lot of outdoor sport, sportier style glasses are best, while for everyday use, versatile models will work. The colour of the frame should match your complexion and hair colour. Warm tones go well with brown and gold frames, while cooler skin tones look better with silver, black or blue frames.
Sunglasses filter - how to choose the right one?
Filter in sunglasses is crucial as it protects your eyes from harmful UV radiation. The filter categories determine how much light the lenses let through:
- Category 0: Light transmission 80-100%. Intended for cloudy days or as a fashion accessory.
- Category 1: Light transmission 43-80%. Good for days with little sunshine.
- Category 2: Light transmission 18-43%. Ideal for moderate sunshine.
- Category 3: Light transmittance 8-18%. Mostly chosen for intense sunshine, ideal for the beach or driving.
- Category 4: Light transmission 3-8%. Designed for extreme sunlight conditions, such as high mountains. Not suitable for driving.
