Although vacations are for fun, the packing stress is real. Those last-minute essentials are extremely helpful throughout the trip. Sunglasses are one of the most important travel essentials that are often neglected. Some people might not consider it a necessity, but it gives you a personalised experience during your vacation. It not only helps to overcome the sun’s glare but also helps you get some good pictures.

However, the fact that goes unnoticed is that different destinations demand different sunglasses. A beach vacation may require sunglasses that blend with fashion as well as protect your eyes from harmful UV rays. Let’s take you on a tour to different destinations and the type of sunglasses you will need.

Beach Vacation

Beach Vacation

Do you know what the best part about the beach is? It is playing with sand and soaking up Vitamin D with a glass of orange juice. Sound’s dreamy, right? But just like your body, your eyes also need sun protection.

Excessive sunlight exposure can lead to various eye problems. Therefore, it is essential to invest in 100% UV protection sunglasses with a grey tint, as they are a perfect pick for your next beach vacation.

Planning a list with beach essentials? Here is everything you must carry.

Let’s be honest, as much as we love soaking the sun on the beach, we also love enjoying a cup of tea in the mountains. They are a perfect holiday destination if you need a break from city life. Picture stepping onto your balcony, surrounded by nothing but peaks and untouched nature, only for the snow’s glare to spoil the moment. It’s frustrating, but easy to fix. Next time you head for the hills, pack a pair of polarised sunglasses to cut the glare. Go for lenses with a yellow or pink tint; they offer the best clarity and protection at higher altitudes, so you can enjoy the view without distraction.

City Tour

City Tour

Sometimes it is good to explore the city with friends, as it can also be a real stress buster. Imagine walking on the streets of Spain or Dubai in the afternoon, but constant excessive sunlight makes it difficult for you to see clearly. Don’t worry, all you need is a pair of sunglasses that will not only protect your eyes from harmful UV rays but also offer clear vision even in harsh sunlight.

You should get a frame that perfectly blends with your outfits. Squares and pilots can be a perfect choice and will add an evergreen charm to your fashion. Consider lenses with neutral colours to get good visibility in different light conditions.

A road trip with my girls is the best time I can have. I love how we talk about life and enjoy every moment together. It’s time when we can click random pictures, cherish happy moments and record some mini vlogs. But to complete your road trip, you can’t miss one essential item- sunglasses. Sunglasses will not only enhance your overall look, but they will also offer protection from harmful UV rays and reduce eye fatigue while driving.
