This Season's Best Sunglasses For Men

2 October 2020

Whether you're chartering a superyacht in the Caribbean, taking a luxury yacht cruise around the Med or exploring cooler climes, you're sure to be faced with the blinding sun and having the right sunglasses not only completes a look, it adds protection. Squinting your eyes against the sun is no good look, and neither are the wrinkles it leads to. We'll help you find the perfect pair to suit your style and face shape, whilst providing the right protection for superyacht sun seekers.

How to buy the right sunglasses

Finding you perfect pair of shades extends far beyond just the look and feel, though aesthetics is important. When exposed to harsh UV rays on a regular basis, you need strong protection from both UVA and UVB rays as the eye area is particularly delicate. Thankfully today most credible brands do offer protection from both, but it's always better to check.

If you need prescription lenses, you'll want to check this is something your chosen brand can accommodate, as not all do.

Silhouette Urban Sun

Thin and lightweight, these sunglasses have that 'barely there' appeal. The frame is made of white opal and gunmetal grey acetate -refined simplicity.

Ray-Ban Outdoorsman Classic Sunglasses

These something endearingly old school about these Ray-Ban Outdoorsman frames. Ideal for those with bigger characters and bigger faces, the strong bar across the top of the lenses adds structure and definition. One to try if the usual Aviators didn't look quite right.

Gucci's take on the classic wayfarers are a nice addition to the game, with smoked lenses against the black trim and frame make these a sophisticated option for those who suit a square-shape.
