If you’re looking for new sunglasses, or have discovered that your current sunglasses are scratched, or wobbly, or just don’t fit any more, then you’ll want to make sure that you get the most appropriate pair of sunglasses
1. You’ll need to know what you ant your sunglasses for. Will you be wearing them only for driving, or for cycling, or just for wearing on the beach?
2. When you wear your sunglasses might also help to determine which sunglasses to choose. You might only wear your sunglasses whilst on holiday, or you might want to choose a style that will look as good in the winter as during the summer.
3. Perhaps you’ll choose a colour that will go with everything, or maybe you’ve got an outfit in mind, and you want a pair of sunglasses to match.
4. You might have a specific style of sunglasses in mind. Perhaps you’ll choose a classic aviator style, or want oversize Jackie Kennedy style. If you’re wearing your sunglasses all year round, you’ll want to make sure that the style you choose will be as appropriate with a winter coat as a bikini.
5. You might want to choose sunglasses in a particular style or colour that will be high fashion this summer, but might look outdated come next year. Depending on how fashionable you are, you might prefer to choose a timeless design that will last for many years.
6. Most importantly, you’ll need to make sure that the sunglasses you choose offer the right level of sun protection. Even though you want to look good, you’ll also want to protect your eyes.
7. You’ll want to make sure that your new shades fit properly. This might not be such an issue if you’re only going to wear them on the beach, but will have serious implications if you’re wearing them for cycling or driving.
8. Depending on how long you’ll be wearing them for, you’ll need to make sure that your sunglasses are comfortable for long periods. If you’re running a summer marathon comfort will be more important to you than if you’re wearing your shades whilst sitting in the garden on a sunny day.
9. You might already have some ideas as to the brand you’ll choose. You might want designer sunglasses, or you might want technical sporting sunglasses. You might want shades that will look great with a certain outfit from a certain desginer, or want your shades to look good for many years.
10. It’s worth getting the right sunglasses for your needs, and so you shouldn’t buy on price. If you’re looking for technical sporting eye protection then the level of protection, the fit and the comfort will be much more important than the price. If you’re looking for designer sunglasses then you might want a particular designer or style.
Now you know how to choose new sunglasses, you’ll have not excuses for not getting the right ones.
