What are “Quality Sunglasses”
You might hear a lot about good quality sunglasses but what exactly does that mean? First and most importantly, you need to make sure that the lenses block 100% of harmful UV rays. The sun can be as damaging to the eyes as it can be to the skin. Your lenses should be scratch and shatter resistant and your frames made from a strong, lightweight material like Grilamid TR-90. Most people are pretty rough with their glasses so this is a must! Like a good pair of running shoes, comfort is as important as durability.
There are 2 things that can make your shades more comfortable – adjustable nose pieces and stay fit ear pads. This allows the wearer to create a customized fit. It also prevents the glasses from sliding off when active. Quality sunnies don’t have to break the bank! Tifosi offers the best sunglasses with advanced technology at affordable prices starting at $25.
Finding the Right Style for the Right Gift
The next step is finding the right style. You need to determine the wearer’s face shape so that you can choose the most flattering style.
- A round face you should wear a square or rectangular frame. This will give a round face more definition.
- A square face should avoid boxy or angular corners. Rounded edges help soften a strong face shape.
- If you are shopping for someone with a heart shaped face, a good choice would be a more vertical oval shaped style. These flatter a heart shape face.
- People with oval shaped faces can wear most styles so have fun with your choices!
