Sunglasses & Eyewear

Quince sunglasses come in six frame shapes: square, round, aviator, rectangle, oval, and cat eye. Each shape is offered in either cellulose acetate or stainless steel frames, with polarized lenses as the standard across every pair in the collection. Pick by shape and frame material; the glare-cutting comes standard regardless of style or shape choice.

Yes — every sunglass style in this collection is polarized. Polarized lenses cut horizontal glare from water, snow, pavement, and car hoods, which makes them especially useful for driving, beach trips, and outdoor sports. The polarized treatment is built into the lens, not an add-on coating.

Two: cellulose acetate (a plant-based plastic — lightweight, durable, holds color well) and stainless steel (thinner profile, more minimal look). Acetate frames are the larger share of the collection; stainless steel runs across the Monaco and Venice styles among others.

A common starting point: round and oval faces tend to balance well with angular frames (square, rectangle, cat eye); square and heart-shaped faces tend to soften with rounder shapes (round, oval, aviator). The collection filters by all six shapes — square, round, aviator, rectangle, oval, and cat eye — so you can scan each.

Frame width and lens height are listed on each product page in millimeters. Common widths across the collection run roughly 50–55mm lens width for acetate frames; stainless steel styles tend to run slightly narrower. Compare against a pair you currently like — the temple-to-temple measurement on the inside of the arm is the easiest reference.

Clean lenses with a microfiber cloth and a dedicated lens spray — paper products, shirts, and tissues create micro-scratches over time, even when they feel soft. Store in a hard case when not worn. Avoid leaving glasses in a hot car or on a beach towel in direct sun — heat warps acetate frames.

Polarized lenses contain a filter that blocks horizontal light waves — the kind that bounce off water, road surfaces, snow, and car hoods. Standard tinted lenses just darken the view uniformly. The practical difference is glare: polarized lenses dramatically reduce it for driving, fishing, and snow sports, while tinted lenses do not. Every pair of Quince sunglasses ships with polarized lenses as standard.
