Sunglasses with Geometric Frame in Tortoiseshell Pattern, UV400 Protection, Coloured Temples

When sunglasses look like every second pair on the street

Black frames, oval lenses, interchangeable – most sunglasses barely differ from one another. They serve their purpose while blending into the face. These glasses feature an angular, multi-faceted frame in a tortoiseshell pattern with temples in a bold contrasting shade.

What makes these sunglasses stand out

• Geometric frame with multiple edges – the shape follows neither an oval nor a rectangle, but runs through several angles; this gives the face a clear line where round frames would simply conform.
• Temples in a contrasting color – while the front features a tortoiseshell pattern, the temples provide a distinct color accent; this is visible primarily in profile and when the glasses are worn in the hair.
• Tortoiseshell pattern with depth – the brown and amber tones are embedded in the material rather than printed on, which is why the pattern glows when hit by light and does not look flat.
• UV400 rating – the lenses block radiation up to 400 nanometers, meaning UVA and UVB are completely filtered out; a simple tint without a UV filter is actually disadvantageous, as the pupil dilates and allows more radiation into the eye.
• Polycarbonate lenses – shatterproof and lighter than glass, which keeps the total weight on the nose low despite the chunky frame.

Suitable for summer in the city, for vacations and the beach, for festivals, and as an accessory for simple outfits. The manufacturer provides no information on lens width, bridge width, or temple length – for chunky frames, these measurements are decisive for the fit and should be requested before ordering. It also remains unclear whether the lenses are polarized.

Are dark lenses automatically UV-safe?

No, and that is the most common misconception about sunglasses. The tint only determines how much visible light gets through; UV protection is an independent property of the lens. The UV400 rating is therefore the deciding factor, not the darkness. Clean the lenses only with a microfiber cloth and never wipe them dry, as dust particles can cause scratches.
