Sunglasses Outfit Ideas: Pairing Frames With Looks

Start with the mood

Think about what you want the glasses to say. Classic and tidy, relaxed and casual, or bold and dramatic.

Classic square with tailoring

Black or dark brown square frames suit jackets, shirts and neat knitwear. See the classic square and round styles.

Oversized with dresses and summer wear

Wide frames pair well with simple dresses, linen and bright colors. See the oversized shapes.

Double-bridge with denim

The extra bar gives a retro feel that works with jeans and plain tees. See the double-bridge styles.

Rimless with minimal looks

Rimless pairs let the lens color do the work and sit well with plain neutrals. See the rimless range.

Match lens color to your palette

Brown goes with warm tones, grey with cooler ones. The lens color guide has more.

Build a small set

Two or three pairs cover most outfits. See our bundle deals, where two pairs are $52 and three are $72.

Quick checklist

One neutral pair, one statement pair, one color-tinted pair.

Common questions

Which frame goes with everything? Dark square. Can I wear colored lenses with a neutral outfit? Yes. Where do I shop? On the shop page.

Three easy outfit formulas

Work: dark square frames, a crisp shirt and neutral trousers. Weekend: a double-bridge pair with jeans and a plain tee. Holiday: oversized frames in a warm tint with linen and bright colors.

Matching sunglasses to hair and skin tone

Warm browns and tortoise-style tones flatter warmer skin and hair. Grey and black suit cooler tones. When unsure, choose a neutral and let the outfit carry the color.

Seasonal switches

Lighter tints and rimless pairs suit summer. Darker, heavier frames suit autumn and winter. A small set lets you change with the season. See the bundle deals.
