Square Sunglasses
D.Franklin square sunglasses bring defined corners and straight lines to everyday outfits. The effect can be subtle with a thin frame or more pronounced with a thick front; compare the silhouette alongside the colours you usually wear.
Square describes the frame shape, not the only face shape it can suit. Consider the balance of its proportions and how it rests on your nose and temples.
Frame proportions and measurements
Start with front width, bridge and temple length, using comfortable glasses as a reference. In women's square sunglasses, compare those measurements with lens height too: similar widths can produce different coverage and visual proportions.
Colours and lens features
A dark frame emphasises the outline, while transparent finishes can soften its visual presence. Explore men's square sunglasses for further proportions and finishes. Check polarisation and other lens features separately; a colour or shape does not confirm them.
What to check when trying them on
- Temples that do not squeeze the sides of your head.
- Bridge contact that avoids constant slipping.
- A front that does not touch your cheeks when you smile.
- Explicit filter category and UV protection information.
Use and care
To compare a softer outline, explore round sunglasses. Keep either shape in a case and follow its care instructions. Remove particles before cleaning with a suitable microfibre cloth, and avoid leaving glasses on hot surfaces or resting on their lenses.
Frequently asked questions
Does square sunglasses mean sunglasses for square faces?
No. Here it describes the frame shape. Choosing for a particular face depends on proportions, measurements and the visual effect you prefer.
How can I tell if a square frame is too wide?
Check whether it slips, barely rests on the bridge or has temples that sit too far apart. Compare its dimensions with glasses that already stay stable.
Are all square sunglasses polarised?
You cannot infer this from shape. Polarisation must be stated in the lens specifications and checked separately from colour or a mirrored finish.
Which finish works with more outfits?
Black makes simple combinations easy, while brown and tortoiseshell work with earthy colours. A transparent front can make the frame's visual presence less pronounced.
Does a dark lens mean greater UV protection?
No. Darkness and ultraviolet protection are different properties. Check the declared protection and filter category instead of relying on tint alone.
Can I choose a unisex frame?
Yes. Use measurements and how it rests on your face as your criteria. A gender label does not determine width or fit on its own.
How can I clean lenses without dragging dust over them?
Remove particles first according to the care instructions. Use a clean microfibre cloth and avoid clothing or paper, which can carry dirt and damage the finish.
