SABINE’S EXPERT TIPS

Opposites Attract: A general rule is to focus on balancing your proportions and think of opposites. Square face equals round frame.

Clean Carefully: Don’t wipe lenses with a T-shirt; it scratches them, especially after a day at the beach. Use cleaning solution and a microfiber cloth to polish.

Invest in Lenses: Polarized lenses reduce glare, and mirrored lenses block more UV rays than basic tinted lenses.
