We don't just change our clothes with the seasons; we should adapt our glasses too. Light, weather, and our activities vary greatly throughout the year, and all of that influences the most suitable type of glasses. Here's a practical guide to help you find stylish and functional glasses that accompany you all year round.
Spring: Transition, allergies and more sun
What you need:
You need UV protection for the first intense rays
Photochromic lenses for changing days; this is very important for your eyes.
Comfortable glasses if you have allergies or wear contact lenses
Recommendation:
Opt for lightweight frames, light or pastel colors, and transition lenses to adapt to changes in light.
Summer: Intense sun and outdoor activities
What you need:
You need 100% UV400 protection
Polarized lenses (for the beach, driving, or the mountains) would be the best option
Durable and comfortable glasses for the heat
Recommendation:
Wrap-around or full-coverage models, mirrored or with a matte finish. Dark or gradient lenses are also ideal.
A tip: Take the opportunity to play with bolder colors or oversized sunglasses.
Autumn: Less light, more contrast
What you need:
You need lenses with good contrast for cloudy days.
Warm tones (amber, brown, copper) to enhance the color of the surroundings
Elegant and adaptable style
Recommendation:
Glasses with brown or yellow lenses that enhance vision in low-light environments. Metal or acetate frames in earth tones are ideal.
Winter: Low light and intense reflections
What you need:
You need protection from the glare of snow or white surfaces
Anti-reflective coating + contrast filters
Glasses with a good fit if you do winter sports
Recommendation:
Gray or polarized lenses with UV protection, even on cloudy days. Use frames that protect against the wind or fit well under hats or helmets.
A word of advice: Even though it's cold, the winter sun can still damage your eyes. Don't put away your sunglasses!
