What are the Perfect Sunglasses for Me?
If you know fashion, you know there’s more to it than good looks. There’s quality and features that are either your friend—-or not. Remember that pair of sunglasses you bought in the drug store? Did you have them for a season? Did they leave you squinting because of glare? Or maybe they were so fragile, one drop and they were trash. When you’re in it for the long haul, beyond being that statement piece, you want to think about clarity, weight, durability.
So the question is: What are the Perfect Sunglasses for Me? With just a few small points you will have a basic understanding on what the best lenses & best frames are and then you can make an educated decision on where you would like to go from there.
Hands down, the best lens material is Trivex. . It’s one of the newest materials available in sunglasses today—and for good reason. It’s lightweight, so you don’t even know you’re wearing glasses. Nothing worse than a heavy weight on your face—except for not seeing clearly. Luckily, Trivex offers the highest clarity available outside of crown glass, because of its low distortion and internal stress properties. And because of its high light refraction, it eliminates the halo effect you see around objects with other glasses.
But let’s face it, frames are important too. The right shape can be so flattering that you won’t leave home without them. A good start is knowing your face shape. Is it oval, round, heart-shaped, square? Are you looking for frames in your favorite color, or do you want a neutral that will go with everything? Do you want what’s trendy now, or stick with a traditional look? When you’re making an investment, these are factors to consider.
Then there’s frame durability. Whether a plastic composite or metal, you want a frame that will prove durable as you put on and take off your glasses repeatedly and something that won’t break the first time you drop them. This is where you really have to pay attention to the material that the frame is made up of. Acetate and TR90 are by far the best frame material that is on the market for plastic frames and stainless steel is the best metallic frame.
