Some rules for choosing your Serengeti sunglasses

Before you go into the various points to choose your sunglasses, note that there are three important rules:

• Protection against UV rays

• Realistic rendering of colors

• Good visual quality

The sun protection factor of your Serengeti sunglasses

It cannot be said enough, it is not the color of your glasses that ensures the protection of your eyes. A dark glass does not necessarily protect more effectively from the UV rays than a light-tinted glass and vice versa. Therefore, it is important to follow the official European protection codes printed on the inside of the ironing board. The filter categories are between 0 and 4, where 0 is the weakest and 4 the strongest protection (for extreme brightness like in the mountains, etc.)

The glass color

Contrary to popular belief, the color of the sunglasses does not affect the protection of the eyes from UV radiation. All pink, yellow or blue shades offer as good as no sun protection and should be preferred only for aesthetic reasons. A dark glass does not protect your eyes better, on the contrary, some transparent glasses are 100% filtered against the harmful rays of the sun.

The shape of your Serengeti sunglasses

Although the design of Serengeti sunglasses is usually very casual, the choice you make is crucial and shows everyone your style. However, we need to know that not all frames are suitable for everyone, and that depending on the face shape you have to eliminate some if you want to respect a certain harmony. Some basic rules in this area:

• Round faces can emphasize their roundness with round sunglasses or, on the contrary, reduce the roundness with geometric or angular frames,

• Square faces, which can also highlight their features through geometric frames or mitigate them with oval shapes,

• Rectangular faces are better for oval frames,

• Oval faces are suitable for all frame shapes.
