Our Colorful Standard page brings together the sunglasses from the Copenhagen brand, known for its basics available in a wide range of colours, along with our tips for choosing a pair that truly protects your eyes.
Bold colours, right down to the sunglasses.
Colorful Standard is a Danish brand, born in Copenhagen, known for its basic organic cotton clothing, t-shirts, sweatshirts, and caps, available in a very wide range of colours. Its approach is simple: timeless pieces without flashy logos that can be matched freely. Its sunglasses extend this idea, featuring classic shapes and colourful frames that complement the rest of your wardrobe.
Sunglasses are also available by brand:
All sunglasses can be found on the sunglasses page.
A pair of sunglasses must first protect. The CE marking guarantees that they meet European standards, and the UV400 label indicates that they filter out all harmful ultraviolet rays. The category of the filter, ranging from zero to four, indicates the amount of light blocked: category three, the most common, is suitable for summer sun in the city and at the beach; category four, very dark, is reserved for high mountains and the sea, and is prohibited while driving.
The shape is chosen based on the face. A round face is balanced with square or rectangular frames; a square face is softened with round frames; an oval face can wear most shapes. Polarised lenses eliminate glare from water and roads, which is nice at the beach and while driving. Store your sunglasses in their case, clean the lenses with a microfibre cloth rather than with clothing, and avoid leaving them in direct sunlight behind a windscreen, where the heat can warp the frame.
Good deals can also be found in the great deals, promotions, clearance, sales, Black Friday. The new arrivals feature the latest collections, and items shipped in 24h are prepared and dispatched within 24 hours. The key events of the year follow a regular order: Black Friday at the end of autumn, the end-of-year holidays, the winter sales, the French Days in spring, then the summer sales and back-to-school season.
Colorful Standard is a Danish brand that originated in Copenhagen, known for its basics made from organic cotton available in a very wide range of colours, without any flashy logos. Its sunglasses extend this concept.
A good pair carries the CE marking and a filter category from zero to four. Category three is suitable for most uses in bright sunlight; category four, reserved for high mountains, is not allowed while driving.
It's often a good idea to choose a shape that contrasts with the shape of your face: rectangular frames soften a round face, while round shapes balance a square face. Oval faces can wear just about any shape.
Grey lenses accurately represent colours and are suitable for all uses; brown lenses enhance contrast in changing weather; green lenses provide a good compromise. Protection depends on the filter, not the tint.
Clean the lenses with a microfibre cloth and a little soapy water, never with clothing or a tissue that might scratch the surface. Store them in their case to protect them from knocks and the heat of a car in the sun.
