In todays social environment, it's doubly important to reinvent our style with shades that say: “all eyes should be on you.” Whether you are headed for the beach, a walk in the park or even if the day is gloomy and overcast – remember to grab your sunglasses! It's 2021, Sunglasses have become that magic accessory. They can make you stand out but they can also help you blend in. Shades can say a thousand words about who you are --- without saying a word!
Glasses are like a picture frame for your face. You can have a beautiful picture but if you don't have the right frame, it just doesn’t look or feel --- right. So much emphasize is placed on this part of the body, hair, earrings, jewelry and glasses. The focus is about who you already are. It’s your story.
Why is picking out the right frame for your face important? Crazy as it sounds - not all of us can be Iris Apfel! The right style is number one in your first step in purchasing your new shades. Being selective and choosing only what complements your face, keeps your style fresh and totally personal. Ok, this doesn't narrow your options, different shapes can be complementary to your features, not to mention your moods!
In researching sunglasses, I learned that style is only half your battle. The most important feature in picking sunglasses is the 100% bulletproof protection against the rays of the sun.
a) - So keep in mind the phrase :- "block the sun - protect your peepers" when shopping.
Right now – is a great time to check out your sunglasses and make sure you’re wearing a pair that is providing protection to your eyes and blocking ultraviolet radiation. There are digits on the ear of your glasses that can help you choose. For example, 53 – 15. The 53 represents the eye size and the number is usually between 40 mm to 62 mm. The second number 15, which represents the bridge size. It’s the distance between the lenses. When shopping online, detail matters.
Like sunscreen, sunglasses should have both UVA and UVB protection, since these are two different types of ultraviolet waves and require different defenses. UVA rays will progress signs of aging. UVB rays can cause cancer.
b) - also keep in mind the phrase: "Stop wrinkling up and dying" when shopping.
Did you know that you eyelid skin is the thinnest skin on your entire body! Just a little trivia but something else that is educational is polarization. It reduces glare and makes your eyes more comfortable. Guess what - the color or tinting is purely cosmetic. Pick the same complementary style but in 20 different colors. How very practical of you!
These shades check all the boxes.
