Fit & sizing tips for petite to bold looks
If you prefer a petite feel, start near 52–54 mm lens width and a 16–18 mm bridge to keep the frame seated without slip. For statement coverage, 55–57 mm leans oversized without feeling heavy thanks to slim temples and lightweight plastics. Cat-eye angles subtly lift cheekbones like a swipe of eyeliner, while soft squares balance rounder faces.
UV clarity & lens basics
Elle sunwear arrives with branded sun lenses that are non-prescription, designed to keep glare down and colors true. If you’re weighing polarized vs non polarized for driving or water, explore our curated Polarized picks and compare use cases. Day-to-day city wear often favors lighter tints; beach days call for deeper shades.

FAQ
Are Elle sunglasses polarized?
Many Elle styles focus on 100% UVA/UVB protection and flattering tints. If you need extra glare control for driving or water, consider polarized options in our sitewide collection. Check each product page for lens specifics before you buy.
What sizes work for petite faces?
Start with lens widths around 52–54 mm and a 16–18 mm bridge so the frame sits securely without sliding. Cat-eye angles often lift smaller features nicely. If you’re between sizes, prioritize bridge comfort — it’s the anchor for an easy all-day fit.
Do Elle sunglasses include a case?
Yes, a protective case is included. Depending on the style, it may be an original branded case or a quality generic case. The product page notes which one you’ll receive, so you can plan storage for your bag or glove compartment.
What UV protection do they offer?
Elle sunwear listed here specifies 100% UVA and UVB coverage for everyday outdoor use. For brightest conditions, pair UV lenses with a darker tint to help manage eye fatigue. Review each product’s lens details to confirm the exact protection level.
How do shipping and returns work?
Orders ship free within the US, with tracking provided. If the fit or color isn’t right, you have 30 days to return items in new condition with included accessories. Start a return from your account and follow the simple steps on our policy page.
How do I choose a flattering shape quickly?
Match opposites: cat-eye or round softens angular faces; squares add balance to rounder features. Try colors that echo your wardrobe neutrals for easy outfits. If you’re unsure, begin with a modest cat-eye — it flatters many face shapes.
