How to make the most of summer

How to make the most of summer

The days are getting shorter and – yes – you’ll soon have to throw on a sweater when you leave the house, but there are plenty of easy ways to keep the carefree, midsummer joy thriving.

Explore the bright outdoors

As the nights draw in, it’s important to make the most of the sunshine. Winter evenings put us firmly in hibernation mode, but in summer they’re still a light and peaceful time to get outside. Bonus points if you combine your walk with spending time in nature, whether that’s an evening stroll along the beach or climbing a local hill to watch the sun set.

Whatever time of day you get outside, don’t forget your sunglasses. Silhouette Light Management® lenses protect your eyes from 100% of UV rays without taking away from the sunny views. Other tinted lenses leave colors looking washed out and distorted, but the technology behind Silhouette Light Management® boosts yellow light absorption leaving colors looking crisp and vivid, even in bright sunlight.

No matter where you are, you can continue to enjoy the boost summer brings, with the enhanced yellow light absorption creating a positive mood for that summer feeling all year round.

Eat, drink, and be summery

Alfresco dining is a summer staple, but you don’t have to give it up completely when the temperatures drop. Compromise by moving your dining set-up inside and throw open the patio doors for an indoor-outdoor feel.

What you eat and drink can keep you in a summer state of mind, too. In the warmer months, we prioritize fresh fruit and lighter, healthy meals. Try serving up your favorite holiday dishes – a seafood paella or crisp Greek salad will instantly transport you to sunnier climes. Don’t forget drinks, either. Keep your morning coffee over ice and wash down your meal with chilled lemonade or a glass of rosé.

Featuring tailor-made Silhouette Vision Sensation lenses, you can be sure of complete unity of the frames for a flawless fit and perfect vision, every time. The design of the frame itself creates a “shape-in-shape effect” for ultimate color nuance and the perfect interplay of light and shadows.

When it comes to keeping the summer feeling alive, what you wear is just as important as what you eat, drink, and do. As the weather turns cooler, you might not get away with a wardrobe of shorts and t-shirts but sticking to lighter or brighter colors keeps your style summery. When it comes to eyewear, Eos View full-rim frames come in a range of six fresh, translucent shades including Smoky Blossom, Crystal, and Golden Hour.
