Hello Diorlia!

Autumn days are here again. While the Central Park squirrels are busy stocking acorns for winter, it is time for you to stock your provisions as well (read: ready-to-wear and accessories)! 

While one tend to think, “Oh, it’s autumn – or fall if you’re in North America – and I don’t think sunglasses are necessary!”

That is what you think but lo and behold, read this legitimate finding: According to Vision Matters UK, autumn’s low sun actually poses increased risk to the eyes. Reason being, as the sun crosses the celestial equator on the autumn equinox, the highest point on its trajectory is reduced to just 40°. 

Furthermore, cumulative UV exposure too has been found to promote the onset of cataracts and has been implicated in other eye conditions including photokeratitis, pterygium and macular degeneration – the leading cause of blindness in UK.

Well, the explanation above may be mouthful but think of getting a pair of new sunglasses as a two-in-one sort of investment – it elevates your style status from maven to a doyenne whilst subsequently protecting the wellbeing of your eyes.  

So, what’s hot on the shelves? What should you put on as you drive towards the sunset in your classic convertibles? The answer is Diorlia!

A new creation by Dior, Diorlia sunglasses have all the ‘it’ factors an ‘it’ sunglasses should have: Contemporary pilot style, strong and unmistakable volumes and edgy. Its fluid lines appeal to all genders while the oversize style pays homage to the groovy 70s. Amplifying the cool side of Diorlia is the subtle shades of transparent brown, green and grey, dégradé nonetheless. What goes best with this cool, super-groovy Diorlia shades?

A good question indeed. While Diorlia certainly complements Dior Fall/Winter 2017/18 collection churned by Maria Grazia Chiuri, another best way to pair your Diorlia is, dig deep inside your depthless closet and look for that past season Dior Gaucho bag in camouflage green, a pea coat in olive green (mildews enhanced that grunge rock look but omit the idea if you’re a clean freak), or maybe a high rolled neck knitted sweater with cargo pants (cue singer Pink in “There You Go” music video circa 2000).  

Diorlia sunglasses are available now at all Dior boutiques and authorised Dior sunglasses resellers worldwide.
