The Best Unisex Sunglasses: How to Choose a Pair for Anyone

Some of the best sunglasses are the ones that ignore the men's and women's labels altogether. Unisex frames are easy to share, easy to gift and easy to wear with almost anything. Here is how to find a pair that genuinely suits you.

What makes sunglasses truly unisex?

It comes down to proportion and restraint. Unisex frames tend to avoid very small or very oversized dimensions, and they favour clean lines over decorative details. Look for a medium width, a balanced bridge and a shape that follows classic geometry rather than an exaggerated silhouette.

The shapes that work for everyone

Round

A round frame softens angular features and has a quietly creative feel. Browse our round sunglasses if you want something relaxed and timeless.

Square

Square frames add structure and balance rounder faces. Our square sunglasses are a confident, easy choice.

Aviator

The aviator has been worn by all kinds of people for decades. Take a look at our aviator sunglasses for a classic, lightweight option.

Colours and materials that keep it simple

Black, tortoiseshell and soft neutral tones are the safest bets, because they pair with nearly every outfit. Black is endlessly versatile, and tortoiseshell adds warmth without shouting. Metal and titanium frames are a good pick if you like a light, minimal feel on the face.

Fit matters more than the label

A pair that fits well will always look better than one that merely follows a trend. Think about your face shape first: our guide to choosing sunglasses for your face shape walks through it step by step. If you would like a nudge, the lavunett quiz can point you towards frames that suit you.

Protect your eyes, too

Style is only half the story. Our acetate sunglasses have UV400 protection and polarised, anti-reflective lenses, while our metal frames come with classic tinted lenses. If you are curious about the difference, read our polarised vs UV400 lens guide.

Every frame is designed in France and costs EUR 59, so sharing a style with a partner, friend or sibling is easy. Explore the full sunglasses collection or our designer frames to start. Shipping is free across the EU.

Can men and women wear the same sunglasses? Absolutely. Frame shapes are not tied to gender. What matters is how the size and shape sit on your face, so focus on fit and proportion rather than the label.
