Stylish women's sunglasses

Sunglasses - one of the main items of clothing to create a stunning stylish image; By the way, glasses allow you to protect the delicate skin around the eyes from the damaging effects of sunlight and to ensure proper protection of the retina and cornea, which are directly affected by the damaging ultraviolet radiation. If you do not wear contact lenses with protection from UV rays, then in the hottest time of the year you just need sunglasses, while the model must have high-quality lenses (glass or plastic) and be safe.

The prototype of modern sunglasses appeared in antiquity, they say, even the Roman emperor Nero watched the battle of gladiators through emerald mirrors. In the far north, they are used as a defense against the dazzling radiance of the snow-white surface by hunters. The judges of ancient China used something like sunglasses with darkened lenses to protect themselves from bright light and so that witnesses could not see their facial expressions. Such ancient accessories were pieces of glass or plates of smoky quartz (in the case of Chinese judges), and later, only at the turn of the 19th and 20th centuries, real sunglasses appeared, in form and device resembling modern counterparts.

Experiments with colored lenses continued from distant centuries and did not end in the 18th century, when one of the famous scientists created glasses with turquoise glasses to improve vision, and other prominent figures now and then used lenses of yellow and amber shades to combat the disease to photosensitivity.

Sunglasses are designed to perform a number of important functions: ensuring the safety of the eyes and the decorative element in the style. Let's talk about the functions of sunglasses more:

• Eyeglass lenses help protect the retina from the destructive ultraviolet rays that cause manifestations of eye diseases such as snow blindness, photokeratitis, cataracts, and other eye organ diseases. When choosing glasses, pay attention to models with a UV 400 mark, which means providing 99-100% eye protection from ultraviolet radiation - the highest safety measure.
• Sunglasses can improve vision due to the fact that it protects the eye from glitter and allows objects and landscapes to appear in a clear light. Special polarized glasses will reduce glare from surfaces like water or other glossy surfaces, allowing you to see the details.
• Most women care about their appearance and health, especially for the face. Sunglasses allow you to close the surface of the eyelids and the area around the eyes from the penetration of bright sunlight and protect against unwanted facial wrinkles that appear at the very moment when we squelch.

The most popular form of women's glasses can be considered aviator glasses in a thin metal frame with drop-shaped glasses; they first appeared on the market in the USA in 1936 and were intended for pilots, thanks to which they acquired their modern name.

The form of "cat's eye" is also very well known among women and is a wide thick horn frame with slightly pointed corners turned upwards. Points of this form are often confused with "dragonfly" - glasses with a volume round lens and a thick horn rim.

Round glasses in a thin metal frame are called "Tishaydy"; The lenses of such glasses can be black or mirror, chameleons, or almost completely transparent.

Vintage models with folding glasses once blew up the catwalks of the world, and today the wildest women often wear such models with bright clothes.

Pilot models are popular and have become a modern classic among models of sunglasses for women and men, by the way, they can be classified as vintage.

Double glasses are models with two pairs of glasses, or lenses, the upper ones are darkened, and the lower ones are transparent.

Ski goggles, or masks, allow you to spend your time safely and comfortably on the snowy slopes and protect your eyes from the so-called "snow disease" when the vision leaves a person for several days. In addition, a ski mask with side protection protects the eyes from possible contact with branches and snow, from sunlight, blinding by its brightness. Properly selected ski goggles with elastic will allow you to enjoy your vacation and not worry about the safety of your eyes and face. With their shape they resemble a rectangle, and in size such models are large, exceeding classical frames at least twice.

Climbing glasses are designed for outdoor activities - hiking in the mountains, where protection of eyes from ultraviolet radiation and reflection of sunlight from the ground surface is required. This accessory protects the eyes from dust, sand, dirt, small insects and other external conditions; As a rule, they are made of high-quality plastic and have a high degree of protection (3 or 4). Among them are photochromic models, or “chameleons”, which are able to change the degree of their transparency depending on the light conditions.

Speaking about the colors of sunglasses lenses, it is impossible not to note their functionality. Let's talk about those or other colors of lenses and features of each of them.

• Black lenses - the most popular in color type. Quality glass or black plastic will help protect your eyes from 99-100% of ultraviolet radiation and are considered the best among other colors.By the way, most fashionistas of the world choose black lenses to create their perfect image.

• Clear plastic lenses hardly protect from the damaging effects of sunlight on the retina, but these models look really stylish. Transparent glass lenses can have diopters and can be used simultaneously as glasses for improving vision and as a sun element. Note that good glass is able to protect the eyes from ultraviolet radiation by almost 100%, but they are more dangerous from the point of view of inaccurate wearing.

• Brown lenses improve the contrast of colors, but slightly distort reality. Such lenses are often used in the creation of automotive models, they can often be found as a fashion accessory for women.

• Yellow glass also provide good contrast and do not distort the rest of the vision. Such glasses are ideal for foggy or cloudy conditions, in the evening when better visibility is required; and especially this color of glass is popular with motorists, climbers, snowboarders and other "specialties".

• Red lenses allow us to make the world brighter on a par with yellow models, but they probably have an impact on the human psyche and are not recommended for long-term wearing.

• Blue or blue lenses they block the brightest yellow and orange rays, thanks to which the picture of the world becomes more contrasting, but in them the world will seem particularly cold and not real.

If you pay tribute to fashion and just want to look stylish, choose black lenses from good glass or high-quality plastic from a reputable manufacturer, they take care of their image and produce exceptionally high-quality models. The main thing - do not run into a fake, so you should buy glasses only in specialized shops. In this case, it is important to choose the shape of the frame itself and decide on its color and material, which we will discuss in the next section of this article.

The most common material for glasses is plastic. It allows the sun protection model to be comfortable and stylish.

Frames made of plastic are completely different, for example, the most durable of them are made of Kevlar with reinforcing fibers and amazing properties. Lightweight optic material is often used for the manufacture of sports or car glasses, but polyamide has good flexibility and high shock resistance, which allows it to be used for the same types of this important accessory.

Metal frames are different: made of copper, titanium, stainless steel and aluminum. Stainless steel is considered to be the most popular material - it is strong and durable, light in weight and plastic so that eyeglass frames can be made of it.

For the manufacture of more expensive frames used gold, not in pure form, but as an additional component. Gold is known for its softness and capriciousness; moreover, this material is quite expensive.

Frames made from natural materials like wood or horn are a rather rare phenomenon. In ancient times, all the rims were wooden or horny, and today there are models of maple, birch, aspen, cherry, plum, pink or ebony. Wooden frames are prestigious and expensive, and the German company Herrlicht has become the leader in their production.

The correct choice of sunglasses will allow you to protect yourself from the appearance of dangerous eye diseases, therefore, when buying this accessory, much attention should be paid to its quality characteristics. Unfortunately, not all sunglasses lenses are able to protect the eye from exposure to ultraviolet radiation, even the darkest ones, which sometimes pass up to 100% sunlight. Eyeglass lenses are made mainly of two materials: glass and plastic, each of which has its own characteristics.

• Plastic lenses they are light in weight and quite difficult to break; if this does happen, they do not fly apart into small sharp fragments, but only turn into a “web” of an integral form. Any plastic without special deposition transmits ultraviolet light, so when choosing a truly safe model, pay attention to this feature and get points from proven and well-known brands.

• Glass clear lenses already protect the cornea and retina from the damaging UV radiation; lenses with minimal shading will be a good choice for safety and a concise look. Glass lenses have drawbacks: they are heavier in weight and traumatic for the eyes, so they will not fit for active sports or for driving in a car.

Glass or plastic lenses with a mark of Cosmetic are considered aesthetic (to complement the image) and will fit to wear in the cold season, when ultraviolet activity is not so high. Universal lenses with General marking are ideal for everyday wear even in summer in the Russian climate, where the sun is not so bright and harmful; they let in up to 20% of sunlight and are not as dangerous in summer as the first option.

Any lenses, be they plastic or glass, are easily scratched, so for sunglasses it is necessary to additionally purchase a case that protects the frame itself from undesirable consequences.

Let's talk about lenses and their types; there are polarized - that is, able to eliminate the bright glare detrimental to the eyes and increase the contrast of the landscape. Such lenses are usually used to create ski models or automotive, when you want to minimize the possibility of glare.

Photochromic lenses have the ability to adapt to the depth of light, that is, they darken in bright light (the sun) acquire a more transparent tone in dark conditions, for example, in a room. They are suitable for climbing glasses or daily, then you will not need to remove glasses indoors or in the evening.

Gradient lenses These are models with a darker top and a light lower part. Glasses with such lenses can have diopters to improve vision and, at the same time, serve as an excellent protection from the sun.

Now let's talk about how to choose the shape of sunglasses, based on the shape of your face.

• Frames of medium geometric shape, for example, rectangular weifarers with rather thick frames, other rectangular and square models, “cat's-eye”, are suitable for round face shapes.

• An oval face is a model of an ideal contour for which practically any model, but not too large or massive, will be the ideal choice: “aviators”, round or rectangular, weifarers or “dragonfly”.

• Points for a square face are also easy to choose: forms like aviators, rectangular, oval, but not round, and those that do not have a rim at the bottom of the glasses are suitable for this type.

• For an inverted triangle shape, or a heart, a cat's eye shape or a model eyebrow will not fit. Stop the choice on firefighters, aviators, square or round models.

Sunglasses act as a universal accessory and are often used for a whole year, both in summer and in winter. The correct combination of sunglasses with clothes will allow you to create a noble or business, brutal or bold image. Listen to stylists' advice on what to wear sunglasses with.

• Points should be selected to the range of basic clothing; The universal colors of the glasses will be brown and the same models with a green tint of varying degrees of blackout. Black is an eternal classic, but they will suit clothes in a classic format rather than sports. Brown glasses (glass + rim) match the clothes of the same range and light wardrobe, black ones are suitable for a “cool” style to create stunning everyday bow.

• The shape is an important criterion when choosing sunglasses, which should be combined with the shape of your face. With sharp lines of the face (triangular shape), choose a square or rounded model, excluding sharp corners. With a round face, give preference to models of oval or round shape, "butterfly" or with angular elements. The square face will visually change thanks to the round models, the famous “aviators” and the focus on the arcs of the accessory itself.

• Glasses are easily combined with hats: a wide-brimmed hat, a thick or light scarf, a beret without a visor and a knitted hat.

• You can wear glasses with a bandage on the head, opening the forehead. Large rims look good with a neatly collected hairstyle, exactly, as well as with smooth flowing hair.

• To create a business image, give preference to strict forms of glasses and dark glasses without polarization spraying and without “aviators” in their form.

• The sporting image will be complemented by those most famous "aviators" will give it originality; The casual image also will not go unnoticed in the cult setting.

The price of quality points can not be low. The production of sun-protection and other glasses is a labor-intensive, complex process that requires maximum concentration. The price is high and for really decent materials - high-quality glass or durable plastic, special coating or film with protection from UV rays. All global brands produce glasses as one of the collections, while others, such as Ray-Ben, do specialize exclusively in the production of this important accessory.

Sometimes you do not want to overpay for the brand, and in this case the product needs quality to ensure the safety of protecting the most expensive - health. The best option would be to choose a model of an average price segment from 3 to 5 thousand rubles, then you will get a model without a known name, and it remains to take care of the choice of an honest manufacturer.

The most famous global brands produce their own collections of sunglasses, claiming to be the most relevant and safest models. Eminent manufacturers do not save on materials and carry to the masses really high-quality products that are safe for health.

In brand Michael Kors There are many models with pink frames, which are ideal for delicate facial features. Pink rims once became very popular and remain so until now, visually correcting the shape of the face and idealizing the image.

Creating a stylish image with branded glasses is simple: choose the perfect frame for yourself and combine it with clothes correctly.

• A strict and at the same time casual look will be created with round black glasses, well, if the lenses are colored or chameleons, then the bow will turn out really interesting. As the main clothes, choose the one that will be black, and boldly combine the texture and cut of your image, regardless of the length of the skirt or jacket (cardigan, coat).

• The feminine look will come out with a combination of highly darkened lenses with a thick frame of the shape that most suits you. As an outerwear, try on a coat with an animal print, and let the bottom remain concise - trousers and comfortable ankle boots. The stylish look is ready: add more loose, slightly curled hair and red lipstick.
