Your sunglasses aren’t just an accessory — they’re part of your vibe. Whether you’re dancing at a festival, chilling at the beach, or styling your everyday look, a good pair of shades can completely transform your outfit. But here’s the catch: sunglasses need proper care if you want them to last, keep their shine, and protect your eyes.
Here are our top tips to keep your sunnies looking fresh and festival-ready.
Always Use a Protective Case
One of the fastest ways sunglasses get scratched is by being tossed in a bag or pocket unprotected. Tiny scratches on the lenses might not seem like a big deal, but they can affect your vision and shorten the life of your shades.
Gettuti Tip: Keep your sunglasses in their pouch or case whenever you’re not wearing them. It takes two seconds, and it saves you from buying replacements too soon.
Clean Them the Right Way
It’s tempting to use your shirt or a random cloth to wipe your lenses, but this can cause micro-scratches. Instead:
- Use a microfiber cloth (often included with your sunnies).
- For smudges, use a gentle lens spray or warm water with a drop of mild soap.
- Dry with your microfiber cloth in soft, circular motions.
Avoid: paper towels, tissues, or rough fabrics — they’re harsh on lenses.
Don’t Leave Them in the Heat
High heat can warp frames and damage lens coatings. Leaving your sunglasses on the dashboard of your car or under direct sunlight for hours can ruin them.
Gettuti Tip: If you’re taking a break from wearing them at a festival or beach, store them in the shade or in their case.
Switch Up Your Pairs
Wearing the same sunglasses every day increases wear and tear. Rotating between a few pairs not only extends their lifespan but also lets you switch up your vibe depending on your mood or outfit.
Bonus: It’s a great excuse to own multiple styles.
Care for the Frames Too
Frames need love too!
- Plastic/Bamboo frames: wipe with a damp cloth, avoid harsh chemicals.
- Metal frames: gently clean with a microfiber cloth and keep dry to avoid tarnish.
A little regular maintenance keeps them looking brand-new.
Festival-Proofing Your Sunnies
Festivals mean dust, sweat, glitter, and all-night dancing — not exactly gentle conditions for sunglasses. Protect your shades by:
- Carrying a soft pouch that fits in your crossbody or belt bag.
- Giving them a quick wipe-down after dusty or sandy environments.
- Avoiding putting them on top of your head (it stretches frames).
Final Thought
Your sunglasses are an extension of your personality and your festival look — so treat them like the style treasure they are. With a little care, your shades will not only last longer but also keep you glowing at every event.
