Aviator

Quince's women's aviator sunglasses cover polarized stainless steel frames in gold, silver, and gunmetal finishes. The aviator silhouette — the teardrop shape with thin metal frames and a double or triple bridge — has been a heritage classic since the 1930s. Quince aviators are proportioned for women's face widths (narrower than traditional men's aviators).

Aviator sunglasses are one of the most universally flattering silhouettes — the moderate teardrop curve works across most face shapes. Best fit on oval, heart, and angular face shapes; round face shapes can sometimes find oversized aviators overwhelming, in which case smaller-proportioned aviator versions work better. The metal frame's minimal visual weight keeps the focus on the face rather than the glasses.

Yes — Quince women's aviators are proportioned for narrower face widths than men's aviators. The lens diameter, bridge width, and temple length are scaled down to fit women's face dimensions more comfortably. Some unisex aviators exist for shoppers between sizing — check frame measurements (lens width + bridge width + temple length) on each product page.

Clean lenses with a microfiber cloth and lens cleaner — never paper towels (which scratch coatings) or shirt fabric. Store in the protective case when not wearing to prevent scratches and frame warping. Avoid leaving sunglasses in hot cars or direct sun for extended periods — heat can warp acetate frames and damage lens coatings. With proper care, polarized lenses and acetate frames hold up across many years of wear.
