If you decide to buy cool glasses, these instructions will help you make your choice. Have you ever thought that your eyes also need UV protection? Did you consider your face shape when purchasing this accessory? Have you paid attention to the quality of the materials from which it is made?
Protection
When buying glasses, it is very important to protect your eyes. Excessive exposure to ultraviolet radiation causes a number of problems, such as tearing, burning, cataracts and cancer. Sunglasses should protect against such risks and block about 99% of Uvb rays and up to 95% of Uva rays. Pay attention to whether they let light in from the sides and top.
Do not buy Sunglasses, if they are labeled as "cosmetic" or do not provide any information regarding UV protection. Pay attention to the lenses and their coating, whether they can be replaced in case of damage.
Style
Choose an accessory by size. Look for a shape that contrasts with your face shape.
Stylish ones that have not gone out of fashion for many years are:
- Mirror lenses are reflective lenses popularized by American police officers. They can be tear-shaped or round.
- Aviators are drops with a thin metal frame.
- Wanderers are glasses popular in the 50s and 60s. Audrey Hepburn wore this model in famous movie"Breakfast at Tiffany's".
- Round ones are an accessory that has become an integral part of the stylish image of John Lennon and Ozzy Osbourne.
- Cat's eye - the name speaks for itself: elongated glasses.
- Large - lenses and frames that cover half the face. This model is associated with the image of a film star.
Form
Use your face shape to choose cool sunglasses. If you have an oval face, any style will suit you. If you have a square shape, you should choose wider glasses with not too thick frames. Avoid rectangular lenses. Round features will balance out polygonal or square frames that have an angular design. Choose larger lenses to change the expression on your frowning face. Try darker or brighter colored glasses to highlight the contours of a flat face.
Make sure they fit properly. The weight of the accessory should be evenly distributed between the ears and nose. Smile without letting your cheeks lift up your glasses.
Color
The shade of the lenses must not only be fashionable, it must meet certain requirements. Pay attention to the contrast of objects: how well the colors are distinguished. Let's say you have to clearly differentiate while driving a car. Some cool glasses have interchangeable lenses, you can change their color depending on what you are doing.
Gray lenses cut without special influence for contrast or distortion. Browns, ambers and yellows partially increase contrast by blocking the blue spectrum. They are good for winter species sports, as well as for hunting in bright light. Red or orange lenses are good for winter sports, but only on cloudy days. help hunters see targets against a green background. Copper sunglasses mute the blue and green spectrum. Blues and greens increase color contrast.
Material
Choose lenses that are scratch resistant. Made from Nxt polyurethane, they are lightweight, durable and expensive. Glass lenses are heavier and less impact resistant. Polycarbonate is not as scratch-resistant as glass or polyurethane, but is more affordable. Acrylic is also suitable, but it is deformed by high temperatures and therefore less wear-resistant.
Always carry your glasses in a hard case to protect them from damage. By wearing a low-quality model, you put your eyes at risk. Remember: cool glasses should not only be beautiful, but also useful. They can either harm your eyes or save you from many troubles, so choose them carefully.

Monki
Large round glasses that cover half the face - a classic of the 60s. For modern girls who are inspired by the style of Twiggy and Jean Shrimpton, we recommend wearing these glasses with an A-line dress, a turtleneck top and a short skirt. In order not to go too far with temporary styling, choose more modern shoes - loafers or rough lace-up boots.

H&M
The style of the 70s is now at the peak of popularity, as are aviators, the key eyewear model for this period. Democratic options are just the thing to survive a short-term trend. In the spring-summer collection, the Swedes at Acne demonstrate dozens of ways to combine aviators: with an elongated sleeveless jacket and flares, a thin fitted dress and loafers, micro shorts, a midi skirt and a top with slits or things in pastel colors. It is good to complement glasses with such a detail as a silk scarf, tying it around the neck. Zara has a suitable model with a tortoiseshell frame, and among luxury brands, some of the best aviators offer the same Mykita.

These glasses are practically collector's items and are made to perfection: the frames are made of high-quality Italian acetate, and the lenses have a strong UV filter.
In order to choose really cool and stylish glasses, you need to adhere to some purchasing principles. We will briefly summarize all our thoughts to you. If you use our tips, you will be 100% an expert in the world of glasses.
- Choose glasses that say “100% UV Protection” or UV400. If there is no such inscription on the lenses, and there is no piece of paper in the box with the glasses, such as instructions or a certificate. It is better to refuse to buy such glasses. The absence of such an inscription tells us that in fact the glasses are not sunglasses, but it is not clear what they are, since they do not have protection against ultraviolet radiation, the first danger to your eyes. It is better not to buy such glasses - they do not have sun protection functions. To be honest, we have not seen such glasses, but we “don’t sell to leftists,” but still we have heard from third parties about many cases of impaired vision by such incomprehensible glasses.
- Buy glasses according to your face size. It’s clear that glasses like Victoria Betham’s are cool, but they have a completely different design: a large lens and almost complete absence bridge of the nose. These glasses are only suitable for girls with a small nose. Fragile and small girls should not buy Ray-Ban Aviator glasses in large size 62. These glasses are designed for big men with a big head - and a miniature woman will suffer with such things. It’s also bad when the opposite situation occurs: a large face and small lenses and frames for glasses. If they are also round, then it will be doubly funnier, since such glasses on a large face will look like pig eyes.
- Choose the right glasses materials. Look at what is indicated in the description of the glasses - on our website, by the way, all the detailed parameters of the glasses are given, indicating what they are made of, where, and what sizes they are. For example, if you know that you are guilty of carelessness and that you treat things carelessly, it is better to look towards glasses of classic models with glass lenses and simple metal frames. These will last you much longer, since a glass lens is quite difficult to scratch, unlike a plastic one. All modern glasses are made practically from plastic; it is lighter, easier to process, and injury-proof, unlike mineral glass, however it is scratched. Although there are brands that are true to tradition: such as Ray-Ban and Persol, they still continue to produce glasses with glass lenses in large quantities.
- Choose glasses according to the weather. There are no universal glasses - this is a fact; for every time of day and degree of brightness of the sun, it is advisable to have your own pair of glasses. You should not wear glasses with dark green lenses in cloudy weather. Such glasses significantly reduce the perception of the surrounding world under such conditions. But the glasses with average degree dark-tinted lenses with light brown or light gray colors are well suited for just such cases.
- If you want glasses that last, look at how they are made. Look at how the frame is assembled - if it is possible to change the lenses, arms and ear hooks. If everything is assembled with screws, then everything is ok. Any screws can be unscrewed and tightened, and therefore the glasses can be repaired. Classical glasses models are famous for such versatility and repairability, but modern models everything is much worse - they are increasingly designed not for short-lived and fast fashion. In general, to summarize, if you want your glasses to last a long time, look towards the classic glasses models. You don’t understand anything about the design and you are a “potential blonde” in technical matters, ask a man to look at the glasses or seek advice from an employee of our store - we will definitely help you.
Good luck with your choice and the right glasses purchases.
