Quick Hack for Picking the Right Frame Color

If you want to move beyond basic black, here’s a quick color hack: let your eyes take the lead.

  • Blue eyes: Look for warm metallics (such as gold and copper), honey, soft yellows, or tortoiseshell browns. These colors add contrast and make blue eyes stand out.

  • Green eyes: Try olive, warm browns, gold, or even deep purple. These shades accentuate the undertones in green eyes, making them appear more vibrant.

  • Brown eyes: Lucky you! Brown eyes can rock just about any frame color. For a little extra pop, reach for moss green, deep blues, or clear frames. They add brightness and create subtle contrast.

  • Hazel eyes: Amber, soft green, dark coffee, or transparent neutrals will bring out every fleck and shift in your eyes.

Want to go even bolder? Don’t be afraid to match your frame color to your favorite accent in your wardrobe.

A quick note on skin undertone: if you usually look best in cool shades, lean toward silvers, blues, or clear. If you lean warm, try golds, browns, and earthier tones. If you’re somewhere in between, lucky you—play with both!

The best part? When the color works for your eyes, your frames become something you’ll reach for every day.

Certain looks never fall out of favor—High Key proves it. It’s the oversized aviator that never fades into the background. The polarized fade lens provides an immediate upgrade when you’re on the courts, the course, or the beach, letting you enjoy unrestricted views without harsh glare. 

Adjustable silicone nose pads give you total control over fit, ensuring the only thing moving is you, never your sunglasses.

What Our Customers Love

Everyone comments on the weight—barely there, even hours in. Reviewers say Let It Run holds up through intervals or trail days, and is low-key enough to blend in swapping running shoes for street shoes.

#5) Dealers Choice – Sporty Square, Always the Right Move

MATTE BLACK/BLACK POLARIZED

Dealers Choice is the wild card that always pays off. The green polarized lens means you’re not fighting brightness on the field or at the park, and the beveled, 146mm square frame is structured to fit and stay put.

Real Talk: How to Spot the Perfect Boating Sunglasses

It’s not just sunshine you’re up against. Boating means constant movement, unexpected glare, and the kind of wind that makes ordinary sunglasses slide right into the lost-and-found. Here’s what separates a forgettable pair from the ones you’ll actually keep on:

  • Prioritize Glare-Cutting, Always: Boating is all about open water and blinding reflection. Skip sunglasses without true polarization. You want details in the water and on deck, not just dimmed light.

  • Look for Frames that Can Handle Action: Long gone are the days of propping your sunglasses up every five minutes. Built-in nose pads, lightweight materials, and arms that hug (not pinch) mean you can move from steering to lounging—no adjustments required.

  • The Right Shape Does More than Look Good: Aviators and large squares offer broader coverage, protecting your eyes and skin. But if you prefer a lighter vibe, medium-sized frames with wraparound edges block wind and sun without weighing you down.

  • Comfort is a Must: Hours on the water mean small discomforts add up fast. Soft-touch pads and flexible arms aren’t just a bonus. They’re how you avoid that “get these off me” feeling once the sun hits high noon.


Pro Tip: Use QUAY’s virtual try-on so you can see each shape on YOUR face before you buy. No more guessing.

4 Best Sunglasses for Golf: QUAY’s Top Picks for the Course

You wouldn’t settle for a one-size-fits-all club, so why wear just any sunglasses on the course? 

Our lineup offers lightweight frames, secure fits, and lens options that keep your vision clear whether you’re lining up a putt or tracking your drive. 

#1) Nightfall – Oversized Shield for Maximum Glare Protection

BLACK/BROWN YELLOW

Nightfall doesn’t play small; this shield is made to cover every angle and block out even the fiercest glare. Designed for wide, panoramic coverage, it’s a must-have for golfers who spend hours in open sun. The rimless, one-piece lens leaves zero room for distraction, so you only see crisp, uninterrupted fairways.

Features That Matter on the Course

  • Oversized shield shape: Wide coverage blocks sun and wind from every angle.

  • Universal built-in nose pads: Comfortable fit for all-day wear.

  • Standard arms: Secure and lightweight for active movement.

 

 

Buy If

You’re serious about max coverage, need a true “glare-blocker,” or just want a modern edge that stands out from the crowd.

#2) Let It Run – Lightweight, Sporty, and Built for Action

MATTE BLACK/NAVY POLARIZED

Let It Run keeps things streamlined and athletic, tailor-made for golfers who want performance without the bulk. This frame’s curved square shape wraps comfortably, staying secure through every swing. Add in a polarized lens, and you’re ready to track your ball through the sunniest afternoon.

#3) Unplugged – Classic Square for Everyday Golf Style

TORTOISE YELLOW/GREEN POLARIZED

Unplugged is all about unfussy, timeless style with instant function. The square frame is a no-brainer if you want a look that’s always appropriate, from pre-round coffee to post-game drinks, and its brown polarized lenses really shine when it comes to ball tracking and enhanced greenery.

BLACK/BLACK POLARIZED

Nightfall Remixed is the shield, reimagined. It pairs statement gold arms and a supple combination frame with a luxuriously tinted, polarized lens. Adjustable silicone nose pads mean the fit is dialed in, whether you’re teeing off, walking the course, or heading for a post-round celebration.

Golf is a head game—and eye game. The best rounds happen when distractions fade, and every shot feels intentional. Choose frames that let you read the contours, track the ball against blue sky (or glare off the water), and keep your focus where it matters: on your swing.

  • Prefer maximum coverage? Nightfall and Nightfall Remixed carve out your own space from sun-up to sun-down. No squinting, just pure, panoramic vision and a shield against shifting light.

  • Want lightweight, sporty comfort? Let It Run is designed to stay put, move with you, and feel effortless. 

  • Love timeless style? After Hours and Unplugged are proof that you can bring personal style to the course without ever sacrificing clear, confident performance.
