How to choose sunglasses?

According To Function

If you want to protect yourself from these risks with sunglasses, you need to find a pair of sunglasses that block at least 99% of UVB rays and 95% of UVB rays. In addition, understand the shading ability of sunglasses. See how much you can see through around the frame, i.e. is sunlight coming in from the top or the sides of the sunglasses?

   ●Are you buying sunglasses for sports, or for extended outdoor activities? Then choose a pair of sunglasses that are just the right size, and the foot covers of the temples can be made of rubber. If you use it for fishing or water activities, you must choose polarized sunglasses, which provide more protection from the sun.

According To Size

Sunglasses come in all shapes and sizes! Generally speaking, it is more aesthetically pleasing to have a contrasting face shape and frame shape. For example, if you have a round face, a more angular frame is better; if you have a square face, a rounder, softer frame is better. Here are some popular styles:

   ●Mirrors - have a reflective coating on the surface. Often used by American police. These sunglasses usually come in aviator style or blindfold style.

   ●Aviator - Teardrop lenses and thin metal frame. Frequently used by U.S. pilots, military personnel, and law enforcement. Suitable for any face shape, especially the oval face.

   ●Traveler - Popular in the 1950s and 1960s. These are the sunglasses that Audrey Hepburn wore in the 1961 film Breakfast at Tiffany's.

   ●Tan sunglasses - popular with John Lennon and Ozzy Osbourne. However, their shading ability is not very strong.

   ●Blindfold - for sports and extreme sports.

   ●Extra Large - Sunglasses worn by models and movie stars. Charming and charming.

According To Face Shape

   ●Oval face: The oval face is often referred to as the "perfect face" and can be worn with any style of glasses. Frames should not be too thick or too thin. Don't choose a frame wider than your face.

   ●Square face: Since this face shape has straight lines and a very pronounced chin and outline, round glasses can be chosen to balance these characteristics. Make sure the frame isn't too thick. Try to choose wider sunglasses and avoid square glasses with sharp corners.

   ●Round Faces: Round faces have fuller cheeks and chin. Opt for polygonal or square sunglasses with angular designs to balance these features. Thicker frames are better.

   ●Long faces: Choose larger lenses and polygonal frames for long faces. Consider the trendy retro glasses and sports glasses.

   ●Flat faces: Choose darker lenses and frames to accentuate the contours of your face. Bright colors can also liven up expressions!

By Color

Note that lens color affects not only fashion sense, but also the ability to detect contrast and distinguish colors. Lenses in some colors can enhance contrast, which is very useful, but this usually comes at the expense of color discrimination, which can sometimes lead to other problems, such as when you need to clearly distinguish the colors of traffic lights when driving. Some sunglasses even come with interchangeable lenses, allowing you to easily change the lens color when doing different things.

   ●Gray lenses reduce light intensity without affecting contrast or distorting colors.

   ●Brown lenses enhance contrast by filtering some of the blue light and are suitable for snow sports and most hunting activities when the light is bright and the background is clear.

   ●Amber or yellow lenses can filter out most or all of the blue light, significantly enhancing the contrast, which makes them popular with hunters because the contrast is beneficial for tracking airborne targets. However, such lenses are not suitable for activities that require color recognition such as driving, and are suitable for snow sports.

   ●Red or orange lenses can be used for snow sports, but only on cloudy days. For hunters, orange lenses help spot khaki targets against open backgrounds.

   ●Purple lenses are for hunters who need to spot khaki targets against a green background.

   ●Copper-tinted sunglasses can soften the sky and grass to make the golf ball stand out more.

   ●Blue and green sunglasses will enhance the color contrast of the yellow tennis ball.
