Why You Still Need Sunglasses in the Winter Months
Have you ever wondered why people wear sunglasses when it is cold outside? Do you hang up your shades when summer is over? Well you shouldn’t! There are so many reasons that sunglasses are important for you regardless of the season that you are in. Recently I received two adorable pairs of sunglasses from the Simply Vera by Vera Wang for Kohls. Not only are these sunglasses cute on but they also are the perfect for meeting your needs for the winter months. Most people just do not realize how important it is to wear sunglasses during the winter and sadly many stores are not selling them either.
Everything You Needed to Know to Protect Your Eyes this Winter
Sunglasses are no longer just a fun summertime accessory that you wear when the weather is nice. They are so much more and something that you need year round to protect your eyes from the harmful rays of the sun that are still apparent even in the winter months.
**Reduce the Glare of the Sun
One of the things that I personally hate the most during the winter is the glare of the sun on the snow. Not only is this painful, many times I end up with headaches when I go back indoors, but it is also harmful to your eyes. Plus it can be dangerous if you are driving or riding a bike as you might not see something in your path.
**Protection from Damaging UV Rays
We all know how harmful the damaging UV rays of the sun can be. Most people wear sunscreen and sunglasses during the summer. Did you realize that the UV rays are just as strong during the winter? It is actually possible for you to have just as much damage to your eyes and skin in the winter months as it is during the summer months.
**Protection from Debris
When you are wearing sunglasses your eyes are also protected from many damaging things in the environment. You can protect them from wind, sleet, hail, snow, debris, dust, and many other elements that are present year round.
**Improve Vision
Even sunglasses that are not prescription are able to improve your vision. Our eyes actually have a specific amount of light that is best for seeing. If you have too much light or too little than your eyes are strained. This means that using sunglasses when it is bright out, even on a winter day, will help to improve your natural vision.
**Reduce Headaches from Straining
When your eyes are strained it is common to have bad headaches and even neck pain. If you wear sunglasses you are going to reduce the amount of neck pain and headaches that you have.
I am a HUGE sunglasses fan but as a mom of four I can not afford to purchase a lot of expensive pairs and my kids are hard on sunglasses. They are constantly breaking them. I love the Vera Wang Simply Vera Collection of sunglasses that are available for you at Kohls. These sunglasses are really a great quality (out of the three pairs that I owned this summer my kids only broke one!!) and I love how each of the styles looked on. I had a pair that showed old Hollywood glam, a pair that were the perfect aviators, and a pair that were a great larger square lens that was very flattering.
