If you're wondering which sunglasses you should buy for your light-colored eyes, this is the article you need. We'll tell you about the current trends and the sunglasses that will best suit you if you have light-colored eyes. While everything will depend on your personal taste and aesthetic, we offer a few guidelines to help you choose the style you like best.

Glasses with colored lenses

Colored-lens glasses are one of this year's trends. At first, we only saw them on the runways of major fashion brands, in daring or futuristic designs, but today they're more fashionable than ever.
Colored lenses like yellow, green, pink, or blue are part of the sunglasses collections of almost every brand. Plus, if you have light-colored eyes, this option gives you an extra advantage: you can show off your eyes behind the lenses. Colored lenses aren't completely opaque, so you can see what's behind them. So, if you want to show off your eye color and also be on trend, glasses with colored lenses are your best choice.

Patterned glasses

If wearing sunglasses with colored lenses seems too risky, you can also add a touch of color with the temples or the entire frame. Fashion continues to change from season to season, and while many glasses have a colored frame, the new trend is patterned glasses.
There are prints that seem like they'll never go out of style, such as animal print and denim, which will be some of the trends this year. We also recommend Op Art prints, a style reminiscent of the 1960s based on geometric shapes like vertical stripes that add a cool touch to any look.

Round glasses

A few years ago, oval and slightly rounded glasses were all the rage, but now we've moved on to completely round lenses. If you find this style appealing, you should know that small, round glasses used to be more popular, but oversized frames are currently the norm.
There are a thousand different ways to wear round glasses, as they can be classic, retro, or even futuristic. We favor the latter, with colored lenses and plastic frames to create an original and fun look. If you have light-colored eyes, our only suggestion regarding round glasses is to avoid mirrored lenses, as no one will notice their color.

Protect your eyes from the sun

Above all, the most important thing is to protect your eyes from the sun's rays. It has always been said that light-colored eyes are especially sensitive to ultraviolet radiation, and this is due to the retina and pigment epithelium.

The retina of light-colored eyes contains less pigment than that of a darker-colored eye. Because the retina has less pigment, the eye absorbs light less well, and light is reflected back into the eye, causing saturation of the receptors. Therefore, it's best to choose quality sunglasses with UV 400 protection, and category 3 or even 4.

In the AWA online eyewear store, you'll find all the models we've mentioned, which are also polarized and offer UV protection.
