Sunglasses are as much a necessity as they are a luxury. Shading your eyes from the sun is up there with protecting your skin, and there`s no reason you can`t be sun smart and fashion forward while doing it. Here are top tips for choosing the right Sunglasses this season.
Always look for a quality lens that is labelled, adding a `category two or three` lens is best. A favourite of celebrities, the polarised lens, also offers street cred and extra sun protection.
Shopping with a reputable retailer is essential to ensure the product is authentic and not a counterfeit.
Sunglasses when cared for can last for many years. Use a microfiber cloth and lens cleaning solution to care for your glasses. This ensures you are not scratching your sunglasses when you clean them.
Never leave your sunglasses in the car. The heat built up in the car can adversely affect your sunglasses. Use the case! A case protects the sunglasses and ensures that it isn`t scratched when in your handbag.
You can never have too many pairs of sunglasses, says Francesca. Shop a variety of glasses depending on the event such as a high-fashion pair for an outdoor wedding, and a sports pair for outdoor exercise.
