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

  1. Keep in mind the space

Outdoor spaces lend themselves to wearing sunglasses. It's not uncommon for a wedding reception to be in an open venue during the day. In this sense, make sure 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 sun intensity, even at night.

  1. Show off, even if you're not wearing them

The right place to keep your glasses is in their case. When you're 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:

  • Leaving them on the table.

  • Wearing them on your head.

  • Tuck them in the neckline.

Besides, designer glasses have sophisticated cases - it's a great time to show them off!

  1. Determine when to wear them

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

  1. Match them with your outfit

Balance is essential to match your glasses when attending a wedding. The frame you choose should match your look. Avoid contrasting colors with your outfit, the idea is to maintain the prominence of the outfit.

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

  1. Wear them if you have to

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

  • If you need glasses because of a medical condition. Try to choose designs for the wedding that match the occasion and the theme of the party.

  • Dispense with them when the sun is out.

  • If the party is indoors, ask yourself if it is necessary to include them in your look.

Tip: don't overload your dress or suit with sunglasses. Enhance your magnetism with weighted glasses that add protection and gallantry. Metal frames are the most suitable, although there are less robust models in very sophisticated acetate.
