Sunglasses are not only essential for protecting our eyes from the harmful effects of the sun's rays, but they are now a symbol of style , class and elegance .
They are one of the few accessories truly capable of showing the world our personality and, on some occasions, our wealth.
As in the case of Chopard which created the most expensive glasses in the world , for an exclusive and, obviously, wealthy clientele.
Are sunglasses really necessary in winter?
The cold season doesn't always reserve gray and rainy days for us. When the sun shines, glare can be very annoying and UV rays are always present, indeed, in certain contexts they are more intense than in summer, as happens for example on snow.
