6 Best Sunglasses for Men, Tested and Reviewed

It’s hard to go wrong with these timeless Wayfarer sunglasses from Ray-Ban. Not only are they super versatile and a great choice for everyday wear, but they’re suitable for a variety of face shapes.

Our pros love their lightweight, comfortable design that dates back to 1952 and is available in 13 frame and lens combinations. You can even add a prescription if needed. They feature UV protection to protect your eyes from the sun and are available in polarized or non-polarized versions.

“I bought these for my husband nearly 10 years ago, and they're still in great shape!” says Apparel Reviews Analyst Amanda Constantine. “They're a classic style, and the brown tortoise shell print elevates the look, so he feels comfortable wearing them at the pool and to the office. They have polarized lenses, so he loves that he can see things clearly without a ton of color distortion, too.”

Our product analysts have tested several pairs of good sunglasses and though we’ll admit that they’re not the most durable, they check off a lot of boxes. Not only are they super stylish and available in tons of fun colors and designs for both men and women, but they’re super lightweight and come at an unbeatable price.

Our pros found that they resisted sweat effectively and stayed in place thanks to a grip coating no matter the activity, including everything from running to sailing, biking, hiking and more. “They look good, are well-made and super affordable,” says one GH editor.

Costa sunglasses are made for the outdoors, and our product analysts especially love them for days on the water. They feature grip pads that keep the glasses securely on the bridge of your nose and are available in six lens colors, including blue, green and gold.

You also have the choice between glass and polycarbonate polarization, both of which help make objects crisper and brighter even in harsh sun. For those seeking maximum clarity and virtually zero reflective glare, you should opt for glass polarization.

These round metal frame sunglasses will make you feel like a rock star. What we like most about them is that they’re unisex and suitable for a variety of face shapes. Choose among 15 color combinations, including a gold, black matte and rose gold frame as well as tons of lens colors.

Polarized lenses are available for those who want the sharpest clarity, and adjustable nose pads will help the sunglasses from sliding down your face. Our pros do warn, however, that they’re a bit more fragile than other sunglasses due to their metal frame.

Warby Parker is a popular choice for all types of glasses, offering hundreds of styles you can purchase directly online. Take advantage of home try-on if you’re undecided or use the virtual try-on feature to see in real-time whether the frames suit your face. According to our pros and previous Lab tests, the brand's customer service is top-notch should you run into any issues.

Though we could easily recommend several Warby sunglasses, we love this latest pair from the spring collection for its super trendy design. The sunglasses are available in three shades, including a sleek black and gold combo. However, note that the oversized lenses and wide frame might not be suitable for narrow faces.

Combining performance with style, these iconic Oakley sunglasses are made for outdoor enthusiasts and are designed to withstand impact. They feature nearly 7,000 five-star Amazon reviews, with online consumers raving about their comfort, quality and style.

Our pros love that they’re available in up to 32 gorgeous color combinations and are even customizable online. When it comes to lenses, you can opt for polarization or even upgrade to a Prizm lens for optimized color, contrast and detail, according to Oakley. Just keep in mind that nose pads aren’t built in so the glasses are at risk of sliding down in heavy sweat.
