Lenses in light lavender, vivid orchid, and deep violet sit across our purple lens sunglasses, set into the frame shapes you already wear. Aviators in silver and gold. Oversized cat eyes that frame the face. Extra large shields with the coverage to last a festival day. Every pair starts with a UV400 base, then layers in the purple tint, so our purple sunglass lenses work alongside sun protection rather than against it. Polarized variants cut glare from water and snow. Low-bridge and universal-fit options run across the range, and every style is available for virtual try-on. Find a frame that suits your face, then pick the violet lens that suits your mood.
The Quay Take on Purple Tinted Lenses
• UV protection is built into every lens base before the purple tint is applied.
• Polarized options reduce glare from sun, snow, and reflective surfaces without dulling the tint.
• Trend-forward designs born from music culture, refined for premium daily wear.
• Low-bridge, universal fit, and extra-large sizes run through the full purple lens lineup.

What Purple Sunglasses are Best for
Festival Days and Stage Lighting
Purple lenses photograph well under stage lighting and stadium glare, so the look reads on camera the same way it feels in person. Pair an oversized shield with a low-bridge fit for all-day comfort.
Bright Daytime Driving
Purple cuts blue-channel glare on wide-open highways without flattening road colors, which makes it a strong choice for long daytime drives. Choose a polarized variant if you spend time on coastal routes or wet asphalt.
Color Pops Over Neutral Outfits
Violet reads as the loudest color in an outfit built on black, cream, or tan. Pair a square or cat eye frame in tort to keep the lens as the focal point.
Hazy Skies and Coastal Light
Purple sharpens contrast in soft overcast light and along coastal haze, so contours stay defined when the sky goes flat. A gradient or solid violet lens works well in either condition.
