These include:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Fit:<\/strong> Ill-fitting can fall off easily, or cause discomfort like headaches and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.stage.warby.io\/learn\/eye-strain-symptoms-and-treatment\">eyestrain<\/a>. So <a href=\"https:\/\/www.stage.warby.io\/learn\/how-should-glasses-fit\">make sure your sunglasses fit well<\/a>\u2014not too tight and not too loose\u2014with the correct lens width, bridge width, and temple length.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Color:<\/strong> Finding a frame you like involves more than the style. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.stage.warby.io\/learn\/what-color-glasses-should-i-get\">What color frames<\/a> complement your skin tone and hair? What color aligns with the aesthetic you like\u2014whether that\u2019s an eye-popping neon shade, a quieter neutral, or something in between? Don\u2019t forget to consider the lens color, too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Material:<\/strong> Whether <a href=\"https:\/\/www.stage.warby.io\/sunglasses\/acetate\">acetate<\/a> or metal, the material your sunglasses frames are made of can move the needle toward one pair over another. Not only will <a href=\"https:\/\/www.stage.warby.io\/how-our-glasses-are-made\">different materials<\/a> contribute to the look of a frame, they can feel different when you\u2019re wearing them. Metal frames are often lightweight, and nylon frames are especially flexible, for example.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Polarized lenses:<\/strong> Sunglasses fitted with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.stage.warby.io\/learn\/polarized-vs-non-polarized-sunglasses\">polarized lenses<\/a> reduce glare and boost contrast, making them great for active and\/or outdoor activities like driving, fishing, and biking.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>UV protection:<\/strong> Sunglasses aren\u2019t only a style statement. They should <a href=\"https:\/\/www.stage.warby.io\/learn\/sun-damage-to-eyes\">protect your eyes from the sun<\/a>, too. Be sure you\u2019re getting sunglasses that block 100% of UVA and UVB rays (like all of our eyewear).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Other eyewear options:<\/strong> If you wear prescription glasses, you may wish to explore other eyewear options. For instance, glasses with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.stage.warby.io\/eyeglasses\/light-responsive\">light-responsive lenses<\/a> transition from clear when you\u2019re indoors to dark when you\u2019re out in the sun. Or perhaps you\u2019d like glasses with the convenience of compatible <a href=\"https:\/\/www.stage.warby.io\/sunglasses\/clip-ons\">clip-on sunglasses<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The Best Sunglass Shape for a Square Face?
