Titanium sunglasses by Silhouette

Titanium is virtually pre-destined for creating high-quality sunglasses. It’s the second lightest metal on earth, hard as steel yet only half the weight. This makes it very flexible, yet extremely stable and resistant. As a result, titanium sunglasses are very comfortable to wear. Plus, they look particularly elegant and add a touch of style to any outfit.

Sunglasses with a titanium frame are also hypoallergenic. Titanium is nickel-free, which means it is well tolerated by allergy sufferers. The material is also often used in the field of medicine to manufacture artificial joints, bone parts and prostheses. Titanium is recyclable too.

Its natural colour is silvery. However, Silhouette refines its sunglasses giving them a special aesthetic with lenses and frames in a wide range of colours. Silhouette has a wide range of titanium sunglasses for you to browse, from classic silver, gold or black models to eye-catching red, yellow or green, with the option of mirrored lenses or a vintage look.

Titanium sunglasses: benefits

Titanium is a very strong material. Its timeless look lends itself to a wide range of fashionable combinations. Discover the benefits of titanium sunglasses from Silhouette:

• The ultra-light titanium frame ensures a comfortable fit. This prevents that uncomfortable feeling on the nose and behind the ears that comes from prolonged wear.
• The material resists corrosion and is highly durable. This makes titanium sunglasses particularly robust, unbreakable and scratch-resistant.
• Titanium is especially suitable for sunglasses. In summer, sunglasses often come into contact with moisture, sweat and sunscreen, yet none of these have any effect on titanium. Titanium doesn’t discolour.
• Titanium sunglasses are ideal for allergy sufferers, as they’re nickel-free, making skin reactions unlikely.
• Silhouette’s high-quality titanium sunglasses ensure an optimal visual experience thanks to their contrast-enhancing and brightening effect.
