Why Must You Buy Branded Sunglasses?

When sunglasses were invented way back in 1929, who would have thought that the accessories which were originally manufactured to safeguard the eyes from the sun and dust would become such a fashion rage? But today even though the sunglasses are such a huge hit in the fashion industry, their function of protecting the eyes from the sun remains in many cases, the sole purpose to buy sunglasses. Branded sunglasses from brands such as Ray Ban, Gucci, Dior and Marc by Marc Jacobs are crafted using the best technologies and material. Certain points that one needs to keep in mind while buying a pair of branded designer sunglasses are:

•Clarity, comfort and protective lenses

The main purpose of designer sunglasses is to protect the eyes from the harmful rays of the sun. Apart from this, sunglasses must also provide maximum clarity and comfort to the wearer. There are a number of brands in the market that use the latest of techniques to manufacture their sunglasses. Some of these brands are Ray Ban, Oakley, Dolce & Gabbana, Nike etc.

•Broad temples

The temples of sunglasses draw maximum attention because most of the designing, engraving the name of the brand etc. is done on them only. Apart from this a broader temple would protect stray light from entering the eyes. Some of the most stylish pairs with broad temples would be Ray Ban Ray Ban 8301 sunglasses and theGucci 3079/S sunglasses. However nowadays people like wearing chic and sleek temples (as in Balenciaga or Burberry sunglasses) in which such the lenses are generally big and provide a kind of a covering from the sides which solves the purpose.

•Standards for sunglasses

There are 3 major sunglass standards which are- Australian Standard AS/NZ1067:2003, European standard EN 1836:2005 and US standard ANSI Z80.3-2001. These three have different criterions to measure the standard of a particular pair of shades. There are certain sunglasses in the market that have a CE mark. This mark basically indicates that the sunglasses offer sun protection to a certain extent.

•Functional Sunglasses

One must buy sunglasses keeping the utility and purpose in mind. For example a fisherman or a skier must buy polarized sunglasses. Some sportspersons look for sunglasses that can be customized easily like the temples are flexible or the lenses are Hydrophobic i.e. they repel water, debris etc. Sunglasses like Oakley sunglasses, Prada sport sunglasses or Bolle sunglasses offer a great variety for sportsmen.

All these features can be available only in branded sunglasses. Hence, one must buy branded sunglasses that offer maximum functionality and value for money at the same time.
