How to choose the best sunglasses?
Style: an infinite choice
Let your imagination run wild. All styles are possible! And why not go off the beaten path with several pairs of glasses in different styles? Sometimes, a change is good... You can choose an infinite number of combinations:
- The shape and details of the frames
- The materials
- The color of the frames
- The color of the lenses
- The shape and detail of the temples
Why not try online try-ons? A great way to discover new personalities or just see if the glasses of your dreams actually stay on your pretty nose.
🚨 Beware of the weight of your frames! If you choose the "American rapper" style, big stylish (and a bit bling-bling) glasses: look for lightweight materials, otherwise pain is guaranteed.
Sun protection
Against the sun, the UV protection rating is an essential element. We recommend UV3 protection, which combines excellent protection against glare and versatility for everyday use, especially for driving. Category 4 glasses represent the ultimate protection: designed for high mountains and extraordinary lighting conditions, they filter too much light for normal conditions, and wearing them while driving is prohibited.
In any case, avoid lenses without protection; it's too dangerous for your eyes. Hop, we have a little guide to know if your sunglasses are anti-UV.
Lenses: polarized, anti-reflective, anti-blue light?
👉 Polarized or not polarized? That is the question. They provide a whole bunch of advantages over classic lenses:
- Better visual comfort
- Reduction of eye fatigue
- Better visual acuity
- Better perception of contrasts
But we won't hide the fact that for using LCD screens, it's more complicated. If you want to go further, we have a whole file on the pros and cons of polarized lenses.
👉 Anti-reflective: on this, no concessions. The reflection of light rays creates discomfort and fatigue, both indoors and outdoors. It's a level of comfort you can't do without for sunglasses! We explain the pros and cons here.
👉 Anti-blue light lenses. Why? Because if you're addicted to your smartphone, you're exposing yourself to blue light from screens, which can expose you to, among other things:
- Health problems, such as AMD (Age-related Macular Degeneration). Click here if you want to know more. Spoiler alert: AMD is not cool.
- Headaches.
- Disruption of your circadian cycle, a drop in sleep quality, and therefore increased fatigue.
We tell you everything about blue light, its health effects, and how to protect yourself from it at this address. Not to be overlooked when choosing your future glasses!
The final word: the best sunglasses brands for women
There is a multitude of sunglass models at your disposal, each with a special asset. So take advantage of it! Change your style, vary your personalities, dare to try anything based on your whims.
