Your Ultimate Guide to Shopping for Women’s Sunglasses
With summer’s official start right around the corner, now is the time to start stocking up on new sunnies. The season is so much more fun with a handful of fresh options to rotate through based on your mood, outfit and activity that day!
When actually shopping for sunglasses, you want to be sure you’ll reach for them again and again. To help you become a pro at sunglasses shopping, here are the top five most important things to look for when you’re buying your next set of frames.
1. Polarization
Polarized lenses are absolutely essential, because your sunglasses should do more than just add to your look—they also need to protect your eyes. The good news is that all I-SEA sunnies are Polarized, so you’re getting 100% UV Protection no matter which style—or styles—you choose.
2. Frame Shape
When it comes to finding a pair that best flatters your face, frame shape can make all the difference. From balancing out round faces with curved-edge frames (like cat eyes) to complementing heart-shaped faces with butterfly styles, there are so many ways to take your unique look to the next level.

3. Frame Material
It’s key to consider not only what your frames look like, but also what they’re made of. With I-SEA, you have three high-quality materials to choose from: Plastic (which can feel more flexible and comfortable on your face), acetate (extra-durable for added longevity) or metal (still durable, plus lightweight and sleek)! You really can’t go wrong, but mix and match your order to find your favorite for each kind of outing.
4. Lens Colors
Next on the list of must-consider factors for your sunnies haul is the color of the lenses. Go glam and mysterious with darker-tinted lenses, including mirrored ones to embrace the reflective trend. Or, lighten things up and add a little bit of playfulness to your vibe with colorful lenses, like our orchid and peri hues. It’s Polarized protection that doubles as a fashion accessory.
5. Size
Shopping for a few different sizes of sunglasses is a great way to bring variety into your collection. While certain sizes can be more flattering on certain face shapes (for example, a super-narrow cat eye might not be the right match for someone with a wider face), our versatile styles offer so many options to suit your unique features.
As an overarching rule, go with the oversize aesthetic for more protection and a little extra shielding from the sun, and sporty shapes for your active adventures.
