Match frame shapes to contrast your face shape. Round faces suit angular frames. Square faces suit round or oval frames. Oval faces can wear most styles. Heart-shaped faces look good with wider frames. We recommend trying different styles to see what creates the best visual balance for your features.

Always look for sunglasses labeled "UV 400" or "100% UV Protection". This is the absolute minimum requirement for eye safety. It ensures the lenses block 100% of harmful UVA and UVB radiation. Remember, price or style doesn't guarantee protection; always check the technical label.

Polycarbonate is lightweight and impact-resistant, making it ideal for sports. Glass provides superior optical clarity and scratch resistance but is heavier and breakable. CR-39 plastic is light and inexpensive but less impact-resistant. Polycarbonate is generally the best balance for everyday durability and weight.

Premium prices often account for higher-grade lenses, more durable frame materials like acetate or titanium, and superior craftsmanship. While reliable UV protection is available at all price points, premium options often offer better long-term durability, visual comfort, and unique designer aesthetics.
