Sunglasses Gift Guide: How to Pick a Pair They'll Actually Wear
Sunglasses make an easy gift: they're useful all year, they don't need a clothing size, and a good pair looks more expensive than it is. Here's how to pick a pair someone will actually wear, by the kind of person you're buying for.
Not sure of their style? Go black
Black frames go with everything, which makes them the safest gift if you don't know someone's taste well. A black square or aviator suits most faces.
Shop black sunglasses.
For the driver or beach-goer: polarized
Polarized lenses cut the glare off roads and water, so they're a practical pick for anyone who drives a lot or spends weekends by the water.
Shop polarized sunglasses.
For the trend-follower: Y2K and 90s shapes
Wrap arounds, slim rectangles and small ovals are the shapes of the moment. They're a fun gift for someone who likes to try what's new.
Shop wrap around sunglasses or rectangle sunglasses.
For the K-drama fan
Thick flat-front squares and chunky rectangles give the clean, confident look seen in Korean street style.
Shop the K-drama edit.
For someone who loves a statement
Oversized frames and bold cat eyes are made to be noticed.
Shop oversized sunglasses or cat eye sunglasses.
Buying for more than one person?
Every Misaki pair is $35, or 2 for $60 and 3 for $75, applied automatically in the cart, so a few gifts cost less than one designer pair. Shipping is free on 2 or more pairs.
