Our Best Sunglasses for Men

Polarised sunglasses

Make a subtle statement in a pair of trendy polarised sunglasses. Featuring reflective lenses, polarised sunglasses come in a range of eyecatching shades from lilac to amber, while offering UPF50+ protection to shield your eyes from the sun's harmful rays.

Sports sunglasses

Not just practical, sporty shades are making a major fashion comeback thanks to millennial and generation Z's nostalgia for all things Nineties and Noughties. Check out these polarised sport sunglasses, made with an anti-fog finish so they'll stay clear when running or cycling, whatever the weather.

Wraparound sunglasses

Ideal for surfing, rock climbing or skiing, wraparound sunglasses are, in essence, sports sunglasses designed for adventure, thanks to the wide lenses and secure face-hugging arms. Consider them the ultimate choice for an active lifestyle or an adrenaline-filled holiday.

Rectangular sunglasses

One of the most popular men's sunglasses shapes, classic rectangular shades add structure and definition to round face shapes. First made popular in the 1950s and 1960s by Ray-Ban's ‘wayfarers', rectangular sunglasses have enjoyed a recent resurgence as seen on David Beckham and Jude Law.

Aviator sunglasses

Designed in the 1930s to replace flight goggles, aviator sunglasses were originally commissioned by the US military. With their oversized convex lenses and slender frames, aviator sunglasses provide superior coverage to the eye area and suit most face shapes. Immortalised in Hollywood history by Tom Cruise in Top Gun, aviators are now considered a wardrobe icon.

Round sunglasses

If you are looking to stand out from the crowd, a pair of vintage-inspired round sunglasses could be the perfect style for you. Whether you opt for chunky tortoiseshell frames or imitate John Lennon with circular shades, this statement option particularly complements those with a square jawline.

When picking out that perfect pair, there are a few factors you should consider. Your chosen colour palette is a good place to start – if you're wearing cool blues and crisp white, opt for a pair of black sunglasses. If you're wearing warm, earthy tones, stick to brown.

Your face shape is also a good indicator of the most flattering style:

• Round face shape: create strong lines with square or rectangular sunglasses to make your face look longer.

• Square face shape: soften a square jawline with a pair of round sunglasses.

• Heart face shape: if you have a wide brow and narrow chin, add balance with a pair of classic aviators.
