How to choose sunglasses for your skin tone

Sunglasses and Protection
Sunglasses protect your eyes from UV rays and can support your personal style. To achieve the best combination of protection and design, it is important to choose models that both meet current standards for UV protection and suit your skin tone.

Choosing Color and Frame
Identify your undertone:
• If you have a warm skin tone with golden or olive undertones, sunglasses in warm shades such as bronze, gold or earth tones are recommended. Round or organic frames support this style.
• If you have a cool skin tone with pink or blue undertones, sunglasses in cool colors like black, silver or blue are a better match. Geometric frames with sharp lines give a modern look.

Comfort and Functionality
Choose sunglasses that are comfortable and fit well. It pays to try on several models to find the optimal fit, while ensuring that the sunglasses meet UV protection requirements.
