Most of us miss to ponder over things like the color of the lenses, design of the frames, size and shape of the sunglasses etc;  When we decide to buy a pair of sunglasses, we just go shopping, try out a couple of pairs and buy the ones that we think suit us. However, did you really pick the right pair? Does it suit you? We tend to get disappointed when we find someone wearing a better pair with a better design or color. If you don’t want to regret for picking the wrong sunglasses, then you must know the right way to picking a pair that makes your looks.

Eye Protection:  Sunglasses are basically worn to protect your eyes from the dangerous UV rays.  The foremost thing you need to look for is, if the sunglasses can protect your eyes from such harmful UVB and UVA rays of sunlight? If yes, that’s the right pair. If no, don’t take a chance and hurt your eyes wearing glasses that are labeled ‘cosmetic’.

Skin tone:  Go for sunglasses with dark lenses and black lining if you have the black skin tone. Choose a pair with brighter lenses and golden lining if you have the light skin tone. However, please be aware that, you might need to carefully choose the color of the lenses, so that you don’t get confused of the traffic signal lights.

Try them before you pay:  It is advisable to wear the sunglasses and walk, lean forward and observe the surroundings, before you buy. Don’t just look at the mirror and decide. If the sunglasses get loose or fall off your face when you lean, you must understand that it’s not the right fit. If the surroundings appear unclear or make you uncomfortable, don’t buy them. If you are an online shopper, choose only those shopping sites that let you exchange if you do not like the sunglasses that you ordered.

Style and design: Know your face shape, skin tone, hair style, usage before you buy a pair of sunglasses. Importantly, your profession. If you are a college student or a business person, choose a pair that looks stylish, simple, fits your face perfectly.  Sunglasses with funky frame colors might not suit for regular wear.  Likewise, elder people must choose simple and small frames that do not provide greater contrast to their outfit or skin tone.

Guarantee: Ensure to buy your sunglasses only from a brand that offers guarantee on the purchase. Do not buy, if the seller refuses to give you the bill and guarantee cards.

Case for sunglasses:   Do not buy sunglasses that are sold open without the protecting case.  A trustworthy brand offers you sunglasses with a perfect case to store your glasses when not in use, to prevent from scratches.

Got the right way? Now, confidently, pick the right pair.
