Sunglasses
How to choose sunglasses
Sub-type placement
Both Clothing & Accessories and Clothing Accessories sub-types share the same colour and material options, so choose by fit not label.
Frame material
Material: the axis includes acetate, plastic, metal, injected, gold, o matter, silver, nylon, glass, and acetate/metal. Metal and acetate/metal hold shape but add weight. Injected, nylon, and o matter stay light for active days. Glass gives clear vision yet feels heavier. Gold or silver suit dressy looks.
Wearer size
Size: small personalised kids pairs versus oversized adult frames, each wrong for the opposite face.
Lens and frame colour
Colour: the range spans black, brown, grey, yellow, blue, multicolor, green, white, gold, pink. Pick black, grey, brown for everyday, or pink, multicolor, gold for fun and gifts.
Standard vs illuminated
Type: classic UV400 sunglasses compared with LED visor if you want light-up looks over plain shade.
What's good
- Children's personalised sunglasses with UV400 work as party favours and small birthday gifts.
- Oversized acetate or metal frames give a bold look for festivals and street wear.
- Injected plastic or nylon pairs stay light on the face for driving and travel.
- LED visors bring illuminated cyberpunk style, a tier absent from plain lens types.
Things to watch
- Kids personalised pairs are sized for ages 0-8, so they fail adults needing full coverage.
- Embellished oversized acetate scratches more easily than bare metal frames.
- Rimless silver or metal designs can warp if sat on, unlike injected plastic.
- LED visors require batteries or charging, adding upkeep standard sunglasses avoid.
Care & maintenance
Gentle wiping
Clean acetate and plastic lenses with a soft dry cloth, skip alcohol on decorated parts.
Safe storage
Keep metal and silver frames in a hard case to prevent bending.
Visor care
Remove cells from LED visors during long storage.
Protect charms
Shield personalised children's sunglasses from heat to secure charms.
