Welcome back to our Arrive Mission Valley Blog. To celebrate the arrival of summer, we’ve compiled a few trending sunglasses we think you’ll want to check out. Spoiler alert: some of these trends never go out of style! Odds are you might even have a pair in your apartment. If so, grab them and head outside to enjoy the San Diego, CA weather around our apartment community.

Colored Lenses

Want a pair of stylish sunglasses to match your swimsuit as your laying out by our swimming pool? Grab a pair of colored lenses.

When it comes to colored sunglasses, you might be surprised to learn that the color of the lenses is not what protects your eyes from ultraviolet light. Sunglasses are made with chemicals that block UV light and are usually colorless. What the colors of sunglasses do is provide different ways to filter the light, enhance colors, and heighten vision. Perfect for a day at the pool, right? Our Arrive Mission Valley apartment community in San Diego has the amenity, you provide the glasses!

Which colors are trending right now?

• Black and gray lenses are always a great choice. They offer a neutral tint and allow the eyes to see colors in their purest form.
• Dark green is perfect for filtering and reducing glare, offering high contrast and visual sharpness.
• Brown tints add brightness to cloudy days, increases contrast and visual acuity, and is perfect for many activities including cycling, hunting, water sports, and fishing.
• Dark Red increases contrast and provides a more soothing feel for the eyes, perfect if you’re wearing them for longer periods of time.

Keyhole Bridge

The keyhole bridge is a stylish option as of late. This vintage look, named because of the resemblance to an old-fashioned keyhole, has been making a huge comeback with a nice retro-style feel.

Sunglasses for men and women with a keyhole bridge feature a wide, rounded top. The shape is designed for people with small or thin noses. Sides of the bridge rest against the upper nose, leaving a space between the top of the bridge and the skin of the nose. There is a nice professional touch added to any person who wears a pair of keyhole bridge sunglasses.

Choosing the right bridge is important when looking at all the different options of sunglasses. If the bridge is too tight, then your nose gets pinched. If too big, your sunglasses will fall off. Try some of these to see if they are right for you. Look at some great examples of sunglasses with keyhole bridges by browsing the Classic Specs website.
