A Comprehensive Guide to Men’s Sunglasses

Introduction

‍

Sunglasses are more than a fashion accessory – they protect the eyes from harmful ultraviolet (UV) rays and enhance your personal style. Basari Opticals, founded in 2012 by an eye‑care specialist, is known for offering high‑quality eyewear at affordable prices and providing comprehensive vision check‑ups. When shopping for men’s sunglasses it’s important to consider the level of UV protection, frame style and brand reputation. A dilated eye exam is the best way to assess eye health, but wearing sunglasses that block 99–100 % of UVA and UVB radiation is one of the simplest ways to protect your eyes.

Understanding lens types and colours

‍

Not all sunglass lenses are created equal.  Polarized lenses reduce glare and improve clarity, especially near water or on bright days. Lens colour also affects your visual experience:

Lens colourBest for Notes Grey Everyday wearOffers true colour perception and minimal distortion. Brown Outdoor sports like fishing or golf Enhances contrast and depth perception. Green General outdoor useBalances contrast enhancement with reduced eyestrain.Blue Beach and water sports Provides a stylish look and a soothing visual effect. Yellow Low‑light conditionsImproves visibility at dawn or dusk.

When shopping for sunglasses, check that the lenses block 99 %–100 % of both UVA and UVB rays.

Choosing the right style

‍

The frame shape should complement the wearer’s face. Basari’s blog suggests the following guidelines for men’s sunglasses:

• Round face – Opt for square or rectangular frames to add definition.
• Square face – Choose round or oval frames to soften the jawline.
• Oval face – Almost any frame shape works; experiment with aviators, wayfarers or bold geometric designs.
• Heart‑shaped face – Aviator and cat‑eye styles balance broader foreheads and narrower chins.
• Diamond face – Rimless or oval frames highlight unique cheekbones.

Comfort is essential: frames should fit snugly without pinching, and adjustable nose bridges help customize the fit. Sunglasses must not slide down your nose or feel too tight behind your ears.
