Women's Sunglasses and Everyday Eyewear: Best Frames by Face Shape, Chains and Cases
24
items Here is the one trick that makes frame shopping easy: pick a shape that contrasts with your face, so angular frames for round faces and soft ovals or rounds for square jaws. This list sorts classic and oversized sunglasses, polarized pairs, blue-ligh...
Skinny ovals are the easiest way to get that retro look without it feeling like a costume, and the 100% UVA/UVB protection means they are not just for show. If you have a square or angular jaw, a soft oval like this one is the shape that balances it,...
Madewell The Solina Oval Sunglasses
A beaded chain turns sunglasses you take on and off all day into something you wear like a necklace, so they stop ending up on the car seat or the top of your head. This one is hand-threaded in bright colors with a lobster clasp, which makes it a che...
Handmade Beaded Glasses Chain, Colorful Eyeglass Holder
If your eyes feel scratchy by mid-afternoon at the screen, a pair of blue light glasses is a cheap thing to test, and a fun frame makes you actually wear them. I like that Anthropologie treats these as real accessories instead of a clinical item, so ...
Anthropologie ZiGi + MARAiS Astrid Blue Light Glasses
Neutral frames like khaki sand go with nearly every outfit, which is why I reach for tone-on-tone colors before black when I want something softer. The page shows these on a model, so you can judge how the size sits on a face before ordering. At $169...
Kendra Scott Carrie Sunglasses in Khaki Sand
Polarized lenses are the upgrade I would make first if you drive a lot or spend time near water, because they cut the glare off wet roads and the surface of a pool. These are made with recycled plastic and TAC polarized lenses at $58, which is a lot ...
Anthropologie Sunski Shoreline Polarized Sunglasses
A tortoise aviator is the classic that goes with everything from a white tee to a camel coat, and the warm brown softens the metal-and-glass look of a regular aviator. Aviators suit oval and heart-shaped faces especially well, and Madewell offers thi...
Madewell Logaan Aviator Sunglasses
Natural stone beads make a glasses chain feel like jewelry, and the brown and gold tiger's eye tones go with just about everything. I would wear this with reading glasses on a trip so they hang at my chest instead of getting lost in a bag, and it mak...
Etsy Brown Beaded Eyeglass Chain, Handmade Glasses Necklace Holder
Kendra Scott lists these under sunglasses for round faces because the angular lines add structure and contrast, and that is exactly the face-shape rule worth remembering. If you have softer, curved features, look for straight edges and visible corner...
Kendra Scott Dira Round Sunglasses
These are a lightweight beach-and-errands pair at $58, with polarized lenses and 100% UV protection. Sunglasses that cost a bit less are the ones I toss in a tote without panicking, and the Sunski styles are built for exactly that kind of everyday we...
Anthropologie Sunski Polarized Dipsea Sunglasses
Oversized frames give you more coverage around the eyes, which helps with glare and with the squinting that causes crow's feet. This hand-cut acetate pair has an angular modern take on the cat-eye shape, and it looks dressy enough for a weekend brunc...
Madewell Pierport Oversized Cat-Eye Sunglasses
This is the budget pick on the list at $40, and it still gives you polarized lenses and a trendy brow-bar aviator shape. If you have never owned a polarized pair, this is a low-risk way to find out how much of a difference it makes when you are drivi...
Free People Royal Polarized Aviator Sunglasses
A second pair of blue light glasses stays at the desk so you never have to remember to bring them, and I like keeping one that is a different shape from my sunglasses. A clear or lightly tinted frame is easy to wear on video calls without looking lik...
Fifth & Ninth Elsie Blue Light Glasses
Gradient lenses are dark at the top and lighter at the bottom, which means you can still read your phone screen or see the dashboard while the bright sky stays blocked. That versatility is why I would choose a gradient pair as an everyday daily-drive...
Kendra Scott Marissa Sunglasses
Whisky tortoise is a warmer, lighter shade than classic dark tortoise, and it flatters lighter hair and warm skin tones. Think of a pair like this as the one that finishes a jeans-and-sweater outfit in fall, and at $75 it is easy to justify as a seas...
Madewell Russell Oval Sunglasses in Whisky Tort
I-SEA frames come in playful colors, and these are polarized with UV protection, which makes them a good fit for a day at the beach or the lake. The list price is $58 and it is sometimes marked down, so check the current price before you decide.
Anthropologie I-SEA Marley Polarized Sunglasses
A glasses chain is one of those small things you do not think you need until you have one, and it pays off when you have your hands full carrying groceries or a coffee. This beaded version also works as a necklace on its own when your glasses are in ...
Etsy Beaded Glasses Chain, Beaded Sunglasses Necklace for Reading Glasses
At $99, these are one of the more affordable Kendra Scott frames and the filigree detail on the temples gives them a jewelry-like finish. The geometric shape adds definition to softer features, so it is the pair I would choose to wear with a simple o...
Kendra Scott Amber Filigree Sunglasses
Rectangular frames are the shape Kendra Scott and other brands recommend for round faces, because the straight lines and corners create contrast with soft curves. This one is priced at $88, a few dollars above Madewell's usual $75 frames, and gives y...
Madewell The Codi Rectangular Sunglasses
Frames cost real money, and tossing them loose in a bag is how they get scratched, so a hard case is the cheapest insurance you can buy. This hard-shell case can be personalized with a name or initials, which makes it a good small gift for someone wh...
Personalized Vegan Leather Hard Glasses Case
Round frames look best on faces with some angles, such as a defined jaw or chin, and these are the pricier Sunski pair at $120 with polarized lenses and 100% UV protection. If you already own a square pair, this gives you a contrasting shape to rotat...
Anthropologie Sunski Baia Round Polarized Sunglasses
A pilot shape is the classic everyday option when you cannot decide between round and square, and the metal frame keeps it light. I would wear this one for long drives, since lighter frames do not leave pressure marks on the nose and cheeks after a f...
Kendra Scott Dira Pilot Sunglasses
Thin wire frames are the lightest option on the list, which matters if you get headaches from a heavy acetate pair. They have a vintage look at $88 and layer well with a dainty gold necklace, so they are the pair I would choose for summer outfits.
Madewell Wire Frame Oval Sunglasses
A third pair of blue light glasses is a spare for the nightstand or the kitchen counter, because the one you need is always in the other room. If you wear contacts, you can still use these, as they are non-prescription and go over bare eyes.
Anthropologie Rowan Blue Light Glasses
Dark tortoise is the shade I would pick if you want one pair that works with black, navy, camel and denim without clashing. Bring this as the backup pair you keep in a car or desk drawer so you never get stuck squinting.
