Most sunglasses for men come down to five shapes, and the range covers each of them in black and other finishes.
• Aviator: from the classic aviator to square aviators and retro navigators, usually on standard metal arms. HIGH KEY is the #1 bestselling QUAY aviator.
• Square: the everyday workhorse, from clean modern squares to rounded and curved squares.
• Round: metal and geometric rounds with a relaxed, classic feel, several with a keyhole bridge.
• Rectangle and narrow: slim, 90s-inspired frames and narrow wraps for a sharper, trend-forward look.
• Shield: one-piece lens, rimless shapes for a bold, oversized statement. NIGHTFALL is the #1 bestselling QUAY shield.
If you know the shape you want, the men's aviator sunglasses collection narrows the grid to that one frame family.
How to Choose Men's Sunglasses for Your Face Shape
Contrast is the rule that works most often. Square and rectangle frames can add structure to a round face, while round and aviator frames can soften a square jaw. On a longer face, a deeper frame with a strong brow line usually balances proportions, and on a broader face an oversized square, such as ALL GOOD, is cut for a larger fit.
Size matters as much as shape when choosing shades for men. Frames that sit wider than your face can look oversized on purpose, but frames that pinch at the temples will not stay comfortable for long. Our men's sunglasses face shape guide on the blog goes through each face shape with frame suggestions.
Frame Materials and All-Day Comfort
Comfort usually comes down to weight, arms and nose pads. Many QUAY men's frames pair a lightweight front with standard or tapered metal arms, and several, such as FLOW STATE and NEVERMIND, are described as built for lightweight, all-day comfort. Most styles use built-in universal nose pads, while selected metal frames, such as BIG TIME, use adjustable nose pads for a closer fit.
Detailing is where the frames differ. You will find exposed inner core details, beveled frame edges, signature metal plaques and, on GAME OVER, a high quality 5 barrel hinge.
Polarized Sunglasses for Men
Polarized lenses can reduce glare from water, roads and windshields, which is why many men choose polarized sunglasses for driving and days outside. Selected colorways across the range carry polarized lenses, and the option is marked in the color name, so you can keep the frame you like and choose the lenses that suit how you use them. The polarized sunglasses collection groups every style that offers one.
