Question 1

1. What face shapes do round sunglasses flatter?

Accepted Answer

Round sunglasses flatter angular faces — square jawlines, rectangular faces, and heart-shaped faces — by softening sharp lines and adding curve contrast. They work less well on naturally round faces, where the matching curve can amplify roundness. For a softer effect on round faces, choose a slightly oval-leaning round frame or a small-lens round style.

Question 2

2. Are round sunglasses just a retro style, or do they work daily?

Accepted Answer

Both. The round-frame shape has been continuously worn from the 1960s through every decade since — modern interpretations are slightly smaller, more refined, and built in higher-quality acetate or stainless steel rather than the original mass-market plastic. Round frames work for daily wear, professional contexts, and creative-industry style equally; the specific frame width and lens colour decide the register.

Question 3

3. What are Quince sunglasses made of?

Accepted Answer

Quince sunglasses use acetate or stainless steel frames. Acetate is a plant-based material derived from cotton and wood pulp that holds rich colour, polishes smooth, and feels warmer and more substantial than petroleum-based plastic. Stainless steel gives a slimmer metal profile — the classic aviator material. Every pair has polarized CR-39 lenses with UV400 protection.

Question 4

4. Are these sunglasses polarized? What does that mean?

Accepted Answer

Yes — every pair of Quince sunglasses has polarized lenses. Polarization filters out horizontal-axis glare from water, snow, roads, and car hoods, which sharpens contrast and reduces eye fatigue. That makes them a strong pick for driving, water sports, and bright-sun environments. All Quince lenses block 100% UVA and UVB.

Question 5

5. Do these sunglasses provide UV protection?

Accepted Answer

Yes — all Quince sunglasses block 100% of UVA and UVB rays, the level of sun protection eye-care professionals recommend. This holds true regardless of lens darkness; tint controls visible-light reduction (how dark the world looks), but UV blocking is a separate coating on the lens. Daily UV protection helps prevent cataracts, macular degeneration, and pterygium — the same UV protection you give your skin.

Question 6

6. How do I figure out the right sunglass size for my face?

Accepted Answer

Sunglass fit is mostly about frame width — the distance across the front of the frames should match your face width (measured temple to temple). Each Quince product page lists lens width, bridge width, temple (arm) length, and hinge-to-hinge width, plus an intended fit — narrow, standard, or wide — as a quick guide. The arms should curve gently over the ears without pinching.
