There are days when you just want to blend into the background. And then there are days when you put on a pair of lime green, pink, electric blue or deep red sunglasses and head out to take on the world.
Because colour has something special about it: it changes an outfit, transforms a face and, above all, says a lot about the person wearing it.
At Òptica Santa Maria, we believe that a good pair of sunglasses needn’t simply fulfil their practical purpose. They can also be a design statement, a fashion statement and that little detail that transforms a simple look into that look.
So this season, we’ve got a really simple suggestion for you:
Go for it!
Why choose coloured sunglasses?
El negro siempre funciona. El carey es un clásico. Los tonos neutros son fáciles de combinar.
But colour has a different story to tell.
Colourful sunglasses can become the focal point of an outfit and add personality even when the rest of the look is completely minimalist.
And you don’t need to dress head to toe in colourful clothes to wear them. In fact, one of the best ways to show off a striking pair of glasses is to let them take centre stage.
How to wear eye-catching sunglasses without making life difficult for yourself
The good news is that you don’t need to be a stylist to wear coloured glasses.
1. Let your glasses take centre stage
If your frames have a striking shape or colour, try pairing them with simple outfits.
A white T-shirt, a black shirt or a dress with clean lines can provide the perfect backdrop.
White shirt + bright blue glasses.
Black dress + red frame.
Jeans + a basic T-shirt + a pair of lime-green sunglasses.
Sometimes, that’s all you need.
2. Look for contrasts
Blue frames can really stand out against warm tones.
A pair of red sunglasses can create a striking contrast with white, beige or denim.
And a lime-green frame can add an unexpected touch to an otherwise completely neutral outfit.
3. Don’t be afraid to mix and match colours
Pink and red? Blue and green? Orange and pink?
Why not?
Fashion is also about having fun. And sunglasses are one of the easiest accessories to use if you want to experiment without having to overhaul your entire wardrobe.
4. Choose a pair of glasses that suit you
This is probably the most important rule.
Don’t choose a pair of glasses just because they’re on trend. Choose a pair that, when you look in the mirror, make you think:
“These are so me”
Because the best pair of glasses isn’t the one everyone else is wearing. It’s the one that looks as though it was made just for you.
Sunglasses with character, at Òptica Santa Maria
At Òptica Santa Maria, we select our collections with precisely these qualities in mind: design, quality, exclusivity and personality.
We don’t want you to end up with the same glasses as everyone else. That’s why we focus on different brands and styles, with shapes, materials and colours that break the mould.
Our sunglasses collection includes designer brands and special pieces, some of which are available in very limited quantities.
So this season we’ve got a suggestion for you:
step out of your comfort zone.
Try that colour you’ve never dared to wear before. That shape that seemed a bit too bold. Those frames you saw and thought, ‘I’m not sure if…’.
Try it on.
Perhaps the “I don’t know if…” will quickly turn into a “Why didn’t I do that sooner?”.
Are you up for it?
Discover our selection of designer sunglasses online or come and try them on in person. Because there are some sunglasses you can see on a screen, and others you need to try on in front of a mirror to really appreciate them.
