Wedding sunglasses break protocol, but add a chic and sophisticated look to the gala outfit. If you have been invited to a wedding, do not be afraid to accompany your outfit with elegant glasses . Even many celebrities have worn them at Red Carpet ceremonies.

If you are wondering how to include this type of accessories to your dress or suit, here are some tips. Don't fail in the attempt!

Are sunglasses recommended for weddings?

Sunglasses used to be thought to take away from the refinement of the outfits they were worn with. Nowadays, brands from all over the world are concerned with creating elegant designs that you can wear everywhere. Such is the case of the Japanese firm Matsuda .

Now, whether or not sunglasses are recommended for weddings will depend on how you combine them. Is it a risk? Yes. However, most of the time they are a good idea to enhance your image .

5 tips for wearing sunglasses at weddings:

The rules of etiquette also apply to the use of sunglasses. To make them work in your favor, we bring you some recommendations that you should not lose sight of if you have chosen to wear glasses to the wedding . Let's get started!

1. Consider space

Outdoor spaces lend themselves to wearing sunglasses. It is common for a wedding reception to be held in an open space during the day. In this sense, it is important to protect your eyes from UV exposure .

If, on the other hand, the celebration takes place in the afternoon, opt for frames with yellow lenses . They are ideal during the hours with less sunlight intensity, even at night.

2. Show off, even if you're not using them

The right place to store your glasses is in their case. When you are not wearing them, keep them in their case. It is important to avoid these common mistakes that detract from the glamour and put the integrity of the frame at risk:

  • Leave them on the table.
  • Wear them on your head.
  • Put them in the neckline.

Designer glasses also come in sophisticated cases - a great opportunity to show them off!

3. Determine when to use them

Protocol dictates that while you are having a conversation you should remove your glasses to see your interlocutor . Show your gaze if you have an important or extended conversation, put your sunglasses aside or put them away.

4. Combine them with your outfit

Balance is essential when combining glasses when attending a wedding. The frame you choose must match your look. Avoid contrasting colors with your outfit , the idea is to keep the outfit prominent.

Slim frames like the Aemic model by Christian Roth add mystery and elegance to your suit or formal dress. The style you want to adopt should be reflected in the glasses you choose.

5. Use them if necessary

The times when you can wear sunglasses will depend on several factors, for example:

  • If you need glasses for a medical condition, try to choose wedding designs that fit the occasion and theme of the party.
  • Do without them when the sun has gone down.
  • If the party is indoors, ask yourself if it is necessary to include them in your look.

Tip: Don't overwhelm your dress or suit with sunglasses . Increase your magnetism with weighted glasses that provide protection and elegance. Metal frames are the most suitable, although there are less robust models in very sophisticated acetate.
