Men's Sunglasses Guide: The Shapes, Colours and Lenses to Know
Choosing men's sunglasses comes down to three things: a frame shape that suits your face, a colour that suits your wardrobe, and a lens that suits how you'll wear them. Here's a simple guide to the shapes men wear most and how to pick yours.
The most popular sunglasses for men
Square
The most popular men's shape. Strong, classic and easy to wear with anything. See our square sunglasses guide.
Aviator
The timeless metal frame. Gold for warm and vintage, black or silver for modern. See our aviator guide.
Wrap around
Sporty and secure, and back in fashion as a Y2K look. See our wrap around guide.
Rectangle
Slim, sharp and a little 90s. Good for round and oval faces.
Round
A relaxed, creative look, especially in thin metal. Best on square faces.
Match the frame to your face
- Round face: square and rectangle frames add angles.
- Square face: aviators and round frames soften a strong jaw.
- Oval face: almost anything works.
- Long face: deeper frames and wraps add width.
More detail in our face shape guide.
Picking a colour
- Black with a grey lens: the safest, most versatile choice. See our black sunglasses guide.
- Tortoise: warmer, great with denim, browns and greens.
- Gold or silver metal: for aviators and rounds; match it to your watch.
Polarized or not?
If you drive a lot or spend time near water, polarized lenses cut glare. For everyday style, a regular tinted lens is fine. Read polarized vs non-polarized sunglasses to decide.
