Traditional Polarized UV 400 Sunglasses

These polarized acetate sunglasses are built around a clean, slightly squared silhouette with softly clipped corners and a flat top line. The brown pair, shown on the model, glows with a rose-to-amber gradient lens that reads warm and architectural at once. The black colorway sharpens the same shape into something more graphic, with smoke-grey lenses and a small gold D logo at the temple. Two finishes, one quietly confident shape.

The look

The front is wide and flat across the brow, with a low bridge and gently angled outer corners that lend a subtle lift without tipping into cat-eye territory. The temples are thick and tapered, cut from the same acetate as the front, with an embossed pattern hidden on the inner side of the arm. As square sunglasses go, these carry real presence — enough width to balance a strong jaw, enough polish to stay elegant. The brown version fades from soft pink at the top to a deeper amber below, while the black keeps everything uniform and sharp. If you want something more angular, the Angular polarized pair pushes the geometry further.

Materials and lens technology

The frame is solid acetate, hand-polished so the surface catches light cleanly along the temples and front. Both colorways run polarized lenses with full UV400 protection, cutting glare off roads, water and glass while blocking the entire UV spectrum. Spring-free acetate hinges are reinforced with a fine metal core for a firm, lasting hold. The gradient tint on the brown pair is baked into the lens, not coated on, so it won't scuff off with everyday wear. You can see the full polarized line if you want to compare tints.

Who it suits

The flat brow and squared corners flatter round and oval faces especially well, adding structure where softer frames blur. This is a genuinely unisex shape — the brown leans warm and feminine, the black stays clean and neutral. Reach for them driving into low sun, walking the city, or anywhere reflected glare is a problem. For a slimmer take, the Rectangles UV 400 sit closer to the face.

Frequently asked

Are these polarized? Yes. Both the brown and black colorways use polarized lenses, so glare off roads, water and screens is cut noticeably.

What size are these frames? Precise dimensions aren't listed, but based on the wide square silhouette expect roughly 54–56mm lens width — a medium-to-large fit. This is an estimate from the shape.
