Cat-Eye
Once a vintage sunglasses style, cat-eye sunglasses remain popular year on year, with modern and oversized fits making their way into eyewear collections. Our collection has extreme cat-eye glasses with sharp angles, dramatic print cat-eye frames, and oversized tortoiseshell print cat-eyes.
90’s Skinny Sunglasses
Thin and rectangular sunglasses frames are the perfect accessories for flaunting a vintage ‘90s vibe. Look for clean, upswept silhouettes with dark lenses or sleek frames with pointed ends to help transform your appearance. Choose fashion sunglasses with maximum UV protection (400) to ensure your eyes are protected from the sun.
Oversized sunglasses
Retro-vintage is making a comeback, with oversized square and oval cheap sunglasses becoming the latest craze. These vintage-inspired sunglasses styles are practical and trendy, with the oversized lens offering full protection from the sun's rays. A fashion savvy’s favourite, wearing oversized sunglasses can make a strong fashion statement - demand attention in bold pop colours or try a more subtle look in oversized clear pastel fashion sunglasses.
What sunglasses suit my face
When it comes to buying prescription sunglasses online, determining your face size and shape is important because it will help you find a better fitting, more functional pair of sunglasses. Whether you’re looking for cheap sunglasses or fashion sunglasses, the first few steps to finding the perfect pair is by determining your face shape and matching that shape to a style of sunglasses. We’ve identified the 5 main face shape types and their characteristics below, so you can easily choose yours and find the recommended sunglasses style to suit you!
- Round
Round face shapes naturally have curves, fuller cheeks and a wider forehead. It’s best to avoid oval or round fashion sunglasses as they can create a wider face appearance, whilst square and rectangular frames create depth and structure!
- Square
Square-shaped faces can be characterised by a wide forehead with a more defined jawline and angular features. As this face shape type has strong natural contouring, cheap sunglasses options include round or oval frames to help to soften the facial features, making them appear more delicate.
- Oval
Gently rounded with soft curves and in proportion from top to bottom, any style of sunglasses will luckily suit this face shape! Pilot style sunglasses will complement this face frame by adding depth and contouring.
- Heart
Heart-shaped faces generally have a wider forehead, high cheekbones and a narrow pointed chin. Fashion sunglasses that are wider at the top than at the bottom work well for this face shape, like cat-eye frames or wayfarer styles.
- Diamond
Facial features of a diamond-shaped face include a narrow jawline and forehead with wide cheekbones. Frames with gentle curves are best suited to this face shape - oval or rimless frames are a great option as they compliment the wide cheekbones.
