Summer Solstice Sunglass Tips

As we soak up the sun during this glorious summer season, let's not forget the importance of shielding our eyes with stylish sunglasses. But wearing them is just the beginning; to preserve your designer sunnies and extend their lifespan, proper care and maintenance are essential. Join us as we delve into the art of caring for your cherished sunglasses, storage solutions, and more!

The Importance of Proper Storage:

Ah, the crucial step of storing your designer sunglasses with finesse. Ensuring their safety from scratches, misalignment, or any unfortunate accidents is a must. Soft-sided drawer inserts are a crucial first step to preserving your sunnies.These gentle inserts provide a scratch-free sanctuary, preventing your precious shades from encountering abrasive surfaces.

Save Your Cases:

While they can become quite a collection, I usually recommend clients hold onto at least one case that comes with each brand of sunnies! This way, if you run out of space in your inserts, or are swapping pairs out seasonally, they have a protected place to go. I like to allocate space for cases in the back of the sunglass drawer, so they’re always close at hand when you’re on the go!

Dust Cloths:

Enter the world of microfiber and specialized lens cleaning cloths, the unsung heroes in your sunglasses' maintenance arsenal. Using a high quality cloth regularly will help in banishing dust, smudges, and fingerprints, keeping your lenses pristine.

Travel in Style:

Wanderlust calls this time of year, and your designer sunglasses are usually in tow for every adventure! Utilize travel cases or sleeves designed specifically to cradle your sunglasses on vacations or spontaneous day trips, rather than tossing your shades into your handbag and risking damage.

Regular Maintenance and Professional Care:

A little tender loving care goes a long way, my friends. Never neglect routine maintenance (this could go for almost everything in your closet). Check screws, adjust frames, and replace nose pads for optimal comfort and care. For significant issues or damage, entrust your beloved sunglasses to the hands of professional repair services, ensuring they receive the expert attention they deserve.
