Autumn is here, bringing with it clearer skies, softer light, warm colours and cool breezes… a season that invites you to enjoy the outdoors, evening strolls and unique moments. And although many people think that sunglasses are for summer, the truth is that autumn is the ideal season to wear them in style.
Why wear sunglasses in autumn?
At this time of year, the sun is lower on the horizon, causing its rays to shine directly into your eyes, especially in the early morning and late afternoon. This can cause annoying glare, eye strain and even damage from UV radiation, which is present all year round.
In addition, autumn brings wet surfaces and unexpected reflections — from damp leaves to puddles — which can intensify glare. That’s why polarised or anti-reflective lenses are a great ally. And since days can go from sunny to cloudy in a matter of minutes, it’s important to have versatile and comfortable sunglasses for any situation.
Colours and styles that inspire this autumn
This autumn, sunglasses trends are focusing on shades that evoke nature and warmth. Warm browns, bronzes and moss greens are ideal for complementing the season’s landscapes. Frames in terracotta tones or with marbled finishes also stand out, adding a sophisticated, handcrafted touch.
For those who prefer a more minimalist style, neutrals such as cream, beige or taupe grey are an elegant option that goes with practically any look. And if you’re looking for a touch of originality, jewel-toned details — such as deep amber, amethyst or muted emerald green — add sophistication without being flashy.
Finally, small accents of colour on the inside of the frame or on the edges—in shades of burnt red, toasted orange or petrol blue—add personality and make a difference without compromising elegance.
Autumn looks with our brands
Autumn is the perfect time to experiment with fashion. You can combine them with a suede jacket or leather jacket in earth tones and warm brown sunglasses to complement the golden hues of the sunset.
If you are looking for a more formal style for everyday wear at the office, opt for classic frames in neutral tones, which add a sophisticated touch to your camel or taupe coat.
And for weekend getaways or nature walks, choose sturdy frames in moss green or brown with polarised lenses, perfect for protecting you outdoors while you enjoy the colours of autumn.
At Óptica Santa Maria and Óptica Santa Maria Boutique, we select frames that combine quality, design and exclusivity. For this autumn, for example:
- VAVA offers glasses with architectural lines and matte finishes in dark shades, perfect for an urban and contemporary look.
- Theo stands out for its colourful frames and original shapes, ideal for those who want their glasses to be the centre of attention.
- Kuboraum offers more conceptual designs, with voluminous frames and warm lenses that play with the autumn light.
- Lindberg, with its Scandinavian minimalism, is the perfect choice for a discreet and sophisticated style.
A stroll through the centre of Palma at sunset may be the perfect time to show off a pair of Theo glasses with warm lenses and a leather jacket. For a business meeting, a pair of Lindberg glasses in fine metal go perfectly with a camel or grey coat. And for weekend getaways, a pair of VAVA glasses with polarised lenses are ideal for the outdoors and leaf-strewn paths.
