What to Look for in Lifestyle Sunglasses

You'll want a pair of sunglasses that are comfortable to wear all day long. Frames that are constructed from lightweight materials, such as acetate and O Matter™, won't bog you down. Rubber grips on the temples and nose pad also provide a comfortable fit, while keeping the frames securely on your face.

For lenses, sunglasses with polarization or anti-reflective lens coating will block glare. You’ll enjoy the improved, unobstructed visual experience of these lens benefits, whether you're driving around, lounging at the beach, or taking a walk around your neighborhood. Additionally, many top brands on our best-of list have their own popular lens technologies that increase contrast, enhance colors, and sharpen clarity.
