Women's Sunglasses

Which women's sunglasses to choose?

Good sunglasses are the perfect complement to a feminine look, as the great divas throughout history have demonstrated: they serve both to hide and to highlight what we want to be seen more and, in addition, they protect the eyes from the uncomfortable rays of the sun. Is there anything more practical?

The ideal: have a few for every occasion and always choose the most appropriate one for the style of clothing and the place you are going to. As it is impossible to have as many as we would like, here are some tips to choose the most appropriate sunglasses for your tastes and needs.

Depending on the type of glass

Depending on the type of glass

• Polarised: perfect for driving or sports, as this treatment eliminates reflections, allowing only useful light to pass through.
• Photochromic: maximum comfort without sacrificing style, photochromic sunglasses darken as light increases and become transparent again when outside light decreases. Perfect if you wear prescription sunglasses and don't want to carry both pairs everywhere you go.
• Mirrored: nothing better to hide a night of excess, bringing elegance and mystery to your look.
• Gradient: particularly useful in the morning when the sun is high, these lenses are made in an attractive ombré effect, being darker at the top.

In addition, in our catalogue you will find sunglasses with lenses that combine two or more of the above treatments, adding the benefits of both.

Depending on the type of frame

It's often difficult to find the sunglasses that suit you best. Follow our tips to find the women's frame that best suits your physiognomy and you'll never struggle to find the ideal sunglasses for your features again. 

• Round: perfect for square and angular faces, as they soften the features. They also look great if you have an oval face.
• Pilot: also highly recommended for angular features, although in this case they emphasise the features rather than softening them.
• Square: they look great on round faces. If the model you choose has thin temples, it will visually lengthen your face. We recommend one of our top selling rectangular Chanel sunglasses.

• Wayfarer: a great classic for oval, round or triangular faces.
• Butterfly: emphasise the cheekbones and improve balance in women with a trapezoid or triangle face shape.

In all cases, pay attention to proportions: if you have a small head and face, don't choose glasses that are too big, and conversely, forget about small glasses if your face is large.
