When it’s time to get a new pair of sunglasses, you must consider a number of factors. Most people will start with their face shape and the choice of the color. But there are many more things that you should not miss. This includes comfort, your eyes and nose, the style, and the need for UV protection and polarized glass.

Comfort

There’s no denying that you want to wear a pair of sunglasses that look the best on you. They should also be comfortable. To start with, the glasses must match your face’s size. Different people can have different comfort levels. It will take some research to find the perfect combination of looks and comfort. Try the sunglasses to determine how you feel.

Your Face Shape

Matching the glasses to your face shape will address both the issues of comfort and looks.

  • Wider Face – Look for glasses with lighter temple.
  • Narrow Face – Choose a pair of sunglasses with heavy temple.
  • Long Face – Look for glasses with deeper frames.
  • Short Face – Look for a pair of glasses with shallow or narrow frames.

Your Eyes & Nose

Before you buy any pair of sunglasses, make sure they also match your eyes and nose.

  • Wide Set Eyes – Look for a wider frame. Choosing a heavier bridge will further help in making your wider set eyes seem close set.
  • Narrow Set Eyes – Look for frames having wider and lighter bridge. This will help in making your eyes seem to be set further apart.
  • Long, Pointed or Hooked Nose – Choose a pair of sunglasses with a low bridge. This will help in making your nose seem shorter.

Sunglasses Style

There are so many styles to sunglasses. They can be neutral and plain. They can be bright colored and may have wings. Most physical stores will usually have the most popular styles in their collection. But some stores are able to give you endless options when it comes to choosing the right style that suits your personality and preferences.
