Question 1

1. What face shapes do square sunglasses flatter?

Accepted Answer

Square frames flatter round and oval faces best — they add angular contrast and structure to softer features. Square frames work less well on naturally square or rectangular faces, where matching the existing angles can read as too harsh; for square faces, lean toward round or aviator frames instead.

Question 2

2. Are square sunglasses too aggressive for daily wear?

Accepted Answer

Not when the frame is sized correctly. The "aggressive square sunglasses" association comes from oversized novelty frames; a well-proportioned square in a daily-wear width reads as polished and modern, not loud. The acetate construction softens the edges visually compared to cheaper injection-molded plastics. For a more subtle version, choose a slightly soft-edged "rounded square" frame.

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.
