5 Things to Consider When You Buy Sunglasses

August 15, 2020 · Fashion, Style tips




When worn properly, sunglasses can tie a whole outfit together, give it a sense of sophistication, and bring symmetry to the face. But, when wearing the wrong glasses or the wrong way, you’ll get the opposite effect and ruin your whole style. It’s easy to think that you can’t go wrong when you buy sunglasses, but you definitely can and it happens all the time.

Buy Sunglasses That Are Right For You

Thankfully, this can all be changed if you know what you’re doing wrong in the first place. Let’s take a look at some of the ways you might be wearing your sunglasses wrong. This way, the next time you buy sunglasses, you will be conscious of these considerations.

Not Matching Them With Your Look

A common mistake people make is to consider face shape only when you buy sunglasses. Another one is thinking that thick frames, thin frames, and frameless glasses are interchangeable. In reality, you have to consider your entire look, and use your glasses to complement it. That means those Oakley’s should be for running only, and if you need something practical that you can wear pretty much anywhere, go for something like Wayfarers instead.

Wearing Them Indoors or When it’s Cloudy

While you might think sunglasses were made to evade paparazzi or look glamorous when you get your iced white chocolate mocha, sunglasses have one main purpose, and that is to protect your eyes from the sun. Wearing sunglasses in any other way makes them tacky and evasive. That’s not a good combination in your average social setting.

Not Playing Around With Styles

You might have gone through a style generator or had a salesperson tell you that a particular look fits your face, but there are times when different styles could work, or when one style wouldn’t usually work, but actually looks better depending on the make.

Normal thick-framed rectangular shades might not usually work for you, for instance, but these Maybachs (check this source) could look very different. While the former could give off a dorky look, these would be a much better fit if you’re looking for something classier to wear in a formal setting. So, don’t stick to only one type of frame only, and try different makes and models.

Wearing the Wrong Size

Some people might assume that the current way they’re wearing their glasses is the way it should be done. In reality, sunglasses have specific sizes for a reason, so you can’t just pick up any glasses from the rack and expect them to look good on you. 

Your best bet is to go to a store, get your exact measurements, and always have them with you when shopping. You will usually be able to see size inside the frame with the first number referring to width, second for the distance between pupils, and the third for the nose bridge’s width. Ensuring the shades fits your face shape is essential.

Not Suitable For The Function

If you’re running, cycling, or doing any outdoor sports, yet still wanted to look trendy, you may want to rock a pair of Ryders instead of a pair of Ferragamo’s. Nothing looks weirded nor less functional than wearing fashion sunglasses to a sports event. Sure you’re thinking sports sunglasses don’t suit your personal style but you don’t want them falling off your face as you pace through your workout. Leave the Prada’s and Givenchy’s for your garden parties and opt for something more functional for physical activities.

If you’re headed to the beach or the park with kids, avoid over the top styles that may not be casual enough for your outing. Opt for something more practical and simple, like Ray-bans.

The Gist of it

As you can see, it’s easy to get things wrong when you buy sunglasses. Wearing when appropriate, ensuring they fit your face shape and matching them to your look are important factors to consider prior to picking the right pair. So, make sure that you correct all of these mistakes and use these tips to get the look you were looking for.

With the pandemic increasing, demand for health an With the pandemic increasing, demand for health and wellness products, bath and body care are becoming more popular. 

@cleanlogic products have anti-microbial protection to prevent growth of bacteria 🦠 or mold. 

I’ve tried the dual texture exfoliating body scrubber 🧽 , facial pads with an exfoliating side and a microfiber side to remove makeup, and the detox purifying charcoal body scrubber. 

They’re made with clean ingredients, have recyclable packaging, are cruelty free and contain Braille to help the visually impaired read their labels. In  addition, a portion of the proceeds go towards blind and visually impaired charities.

Give it a try!

Tomorrow’s our last day in 2020. So happy new ye Tomorrow’s our last day in 2020. So happy new year 🎆 early! It has been an interesting year 🧐, not just the pandemic, but personally, growth, challenges and several new beginnings. It has also made me realize how important it is to inform people about the suffering of others, even if it’s not a niche I specialize in as a blogger/micro-influencer. Passing the message onto the rest of us is what may help their plight to gain human rights, improve their living conditions, live safely  without fear, or get them access to help. On that note, may 2021 bring on better days for all!

What are you looking forward to in 2021?
