The Ultimate Guide: What to Look for When Buying Sunglasses

Gossip is in the air, eco-fashionistas, and we've got the inside scoop on what to keep your peepers peeled for when it comes to snagging the perfect pair of sunglasses.

Whether you're strutting the city streets or lounging on the beach like you're in your very own episode, here's the lowdown on what makes sunglasses worthy of the spotlight.

1. Sun Protection is Non-Negotiable

Fashionistas, just like a little bit of drama, sun protection is an absolute must. Those UV rays can be harsher than a snide remark, so ensure your sunnies offer maximum UV protection (UV400, anyone?). Shield those beautiful eyes and let your style shine.

2. Frame That Face

Just like a well-delivered line, the right frame can make or break an ensemble. But don't fret, we're here with the 411. Match your face shape to the frame style – whether it's the drama of cat-eye frames or the sophistication of aviators – and you'll be turning heads in no-time. If you're unsure which styles suit your face read our tips here.

3. Material Matters

It's not just about looks, ladies and gents. The material of your sunglasses speaks volumes about their quality. From sustainable bio-acetate to the warmth of wood, choose a material that resonates with your eco-chic vibes. 

4. A Flirtatious Tint

A hint of mystery never hurt anyone. Opt for lens tints that not only make a statement but also enhance your vision. From classic black to bold mirrored shades, let your sunglasses flirt with your style while providing optimal clarity.

5. Attention to Detail

Just like scrutinising a socialite's Instagram post, pay attention to the details. Hinges, nose pads, and temple arms – they all play a role in the comfort and durability of your shades. Make sure they're as flawless as a Met Gala gown.

6. Brand Story Magic

Behind every iconic fashion moment, there's a story waiting to be told. Choose a brand whose ethos aligns with your values. Whether it's sustainability, craftsmanship, or that touch of je ne sais quoi, let your sunglasses carry a narrative as gripping as your favourite TV show.

Ready to Make a Statement?

So, there you have it, fashionistas. The secrets are out – what to look for when snagging your next pair of sunglasses. Remember, it's not just about shielding your eyes; it's about making a statement that's as unforgettable as the latest headline.
