City or sports glasses: how to choose?

Lunettes de ville ou de sport : comment choisir ?

The choice between a pair of city glasses and a pair of sport glasses primarily depends on their intended use. If you wear them mainly for everyday activities, an urban frame will generally be the most suitable. If you regularly engage in outdoor activities, a sport frame will offer more comfort and support.

City Glasses

City frames are designed for everyday use. They prioritize style, comfort, and versatility, whether for walking, driving, or enjoying a day on a terrace.

They are perfect if you are looking for a pair to wear every day.

Sport Glasses

Sport frames are designed to stay securely in place during exertion. They generally feature a more wraparound shape, non-slip zones at the nose and temples, and a lightweight design for enhanced comfort.

They are particularly suitable for cycling, hiking, running, or any other outdoor activity.

How to make the right choice?

Ask yourself a simple question: what will be your primary use?

  • For daily use, prioritize a city frame.
  • For regular sports activities, choose a sport frame.
  • If you alternate between the two, opt for the model that corresponds to the activity you practice most often.

In any case, also remember to choose lenses adapted to the light conditions. The sun protection category is independent of the frame style: both city and sport pairs can be equipped with category 3 lenses, perfectly suited for outdoor use.

Solar Collections

The City collection offers elegant models for daily use, while the Sport collection is designed to accompany outdoor activities with better support and optimal comfort.

The key is to choose a pair that suits your lifestyle. A frame that meets your needs will always be more comfortable to wear than a model chosen solely for its style.
