Black Sunglasses: How to Pick the Pair That Goes With Everything
Black sunglasses are the pair that goes with everything. Black is the most common frame colour among best-selling sunglasses, and the easiest place to start if you only want one pair. Here's how to pick the right black sunglasses, from frame shape to lens colour.
Why black sunglasses work
- They match everything: casual, smart, colourful or all-black outfits.
- They suit every skin tone and hair colour.
- They look sharp: black gives any shape a cleaner, more defined edge.
Black frame vs black lens
"Black sunglasses" can mean a black frame, a dark lens, or both. The classic combination is a black frame with a grey lens, which looks almost black from the outside and keeps colours natural when you look through it. A black frame with a brown, green or gradient lens is a little softer.
Which black frame shape?
- Square: the classic all-rounder. See our square sunglasses guide.
- Cat eye: black is the most classic cat eye colour. See our cat eye guide.
- Aviator: a black metal aviator looks more modern than gold.
- Wrap around: black wraps are the sporty, Y2K pick. See our wrap around guide.
- Oversized: big black frames are pure glamour.
Pick your shape using the face shape guide.
How to wear black sunglasses
- All black: a black frame with a black outfit always looks put together.
- With colour: black frames ground a bright outfit.
- With a suit: a slim black square or aviator looks polished.
