Square Sunglasses

The square shape

With straight edges and crisp corners in even proportions, square frames sit between the sharpness of a rectangle and the softness of a round. The result is bold but easy to wear — structured enough to make an impression, balanced enough to suit everyday outfits. Styles range from slim, refined squares through to chunkier, more fashion-forward profiles.

Who square frames can suit

Angular shapes are often used to add contrast and definition to rounder or softer faces, with the straight lines giving the face more structure. As ever, the most important thing is a comfortable fit you genuinely feel good in — face-shape advice is a helpful guide rather than a rule. Our team can help you compare a few options in person.

Prescription and polarised options

Square frames glaze well to most prescriptions, and their balanced lens area works for single-vision and multifocal lenses alike. They can also be fitted with polarised lenses for glare control on bright days. Keep in mind that polarisation cuts glare rather than UV, so for sun protection ask about a lens rated for both when you visit us in store.

A versatile everyday shape

Part of the square’s appeal is how easily it fits into a wardrobe — bold enough to feel considered, neutral enough to wear with almost anything. With brands like Carrera, Carolina Herrera, Kate Spade and Oroton represented here, there is plenty of range in weight and detailing. For a sharper or softer alternative, it sits comfortably alongside other shapes in the wider range.

Trying square frames on

Square frames carry their proportions on the face, so a quick try-on makes all the difference — the corners should frame your features cleanly without sitting too wide or dropping too low on the cheeks. With brands varying in weight and detailing, the feel can differ a lot from one style to the next. Visit one of our stores to compare a few in person, check the fit, and talk through prescription or polarised glazing with our optometry team.
