Men's sunglasses

Sunglasses have become a fashion accessory in their own right for men, just like a watch or a belt. They protect the eyes, of course, but they also say something about the person wearing them. On Mymonture, you’ll find nearly 500 styles of men’s sunglasses, ranging from affordable entry-level options to luxury brands, for every style and purpose.

Men’s Sunglasses: Styles, Shapes, and Trends

Men’s sunglasses today come in a wide variety of styles. Classic shapes like aviators and clubmasters remain timeless favorites, appreciated for their ability to complement many face shapes and outfits. Rectangular frames—simple and structured—have become the go-to everyday choice for many men. For those seeking something more, luxury brands like Prada, Gucci, and Tom Ford offer men’s sunglasses crafted from materials and with finishes that are in a league of their own. In contrast, oversized models or those with more bold, geometric shapes appeal to those looking to make a style statement.

When it comes to materials, acetate offers a wealth of colors and patterns that metal cannot match, but metal retains the advantage of being lightweight and having a more understated profile. Both coexist in current collections and cater to different preferences.

The dominant colors remain black, tortoiseshell, and brown, but bolder shades like green, blue, or havana have been gaining ground over the past few seasons.

What shape of sunglasses should you choose based on your face shape?

This is often the first question a man asks himself when choosing sunglasses. Face shape is a good starting point, even if it isn’t the only criterion.

An oval face is the most versatile and suits almost any frame, from the thickest to the thinnest. A square face looks best with round or oval shapes that soften the angles. Conversely, a round face is best complemented by rectangular or square eyeglass frames, which add structure. For a long face, oversized men’s sunglasses help balance the proportions.

The aviator, with its teardrop shape that flares slightly downward, is one of the few styles that works on just about any face shape, which partly explains its enduring popularity.

Polarized Lenses, Category 3, Category 4: How to Choose?

The frame often gets all the attention when choosing men’s sunglasses. However, the lenses are just as important—especially for the protection they offer and the visual comfort they provide. There are two key characteristics to distinguish: the protection category and polarization, which are independent of one another but can be combined.

The protection category is often the most overlooked criterion, even though it’s essential. Category 3 is the most versatile and suitable for the vast majority of situations: in the city, at the beach, or on vacation. Category 4, reserved for extremely bright environments such as high mountains, should be avoided while driving because it reduces light transmission too much. On Mymonture, most of the available models are Category 2 or 3, making them suitable for both everyday use and more exposed outings.

Polarization is a separate feature that complements the protection category: a lens can certainly be both Category 3 and polarized. In practical terms, polarization reduces glare from reflective surfaces such as roads, water, or snow, which improves visual comfort in bright light conditions. It is particularly popular among men for driving, fishing, or outdoor activities.

Finally, if you wear prescription lenses, keep in mind that most men’s sunglasses available on Mymonture can be customized to your prescription, with the option to have your prescription lenses fitted directly into the frame of your choice.
