Find your best-fit silhouette
Start with lens width: many faces feel balanced in the 49-53 mm range, while petite faces often prefer 47-49 mm and wider faces 54 mm+. Round or oval faces get instant lift from cat-eye angles; square faces soften with round or oval lenses; heart shapes keep balance with light, slim rims.
Glare control and lens clarity
Ever wonder why glare sticks around even with dark tints? Polarization filters horizontal glare so road and water scenes look calmer. Sunglasses are always sold with branded sun lenses (non-prescription). For maximum comfort on bright days, explore our Polarized picks. Curious why aviators feel timeless? Dip into Aviator history for a quick primer.

FAQ
Are Furla sunglasses good for small faces?
Yes, look for lens widths around 47-49 mm and slimmer bridge designs so the frames sit closer and lighter. Cat-eye and oval silhouettes add lift without overpowering your features. If you’re between sizes, choose the smaller lens width first for a neater, more tailored fit.
Which shapes are most versatile for daily wear?
Round and soft-square styles are easygoing for most faces, while cat-eye adds subtle lift for a dressier feel. If you want coverage without heaviness, try slim aviators or thin metals. Neutral lens tints keep transitions from indoors to outdoors smooth during a typical day.
Are polarized lenses necessary for city use?
They’re not required, but polarization cuts glare from cars, glass, and wet streets, which can reduce eye fatigue on bright days. If you split time between walking and driving, polarized tints can feel calmer behind the wheel. For overcast days, standard tints offer plenty of comfort.
How do gradient lenses compare to solid tints?
Gradient lenses are darker up top and lighter below, helpful for reading screens or dashboards while keeping overhead light comfortable. Solid tints keep brightness uniform and can feel more protective at noon. Your choice comes down to how often you need to see fine detail up close.
Can I replace the sun lenses with prescription lenses later?
Many opticians can evaluate a sunglass frame for lens replacement, including prescription sun lenses or clear lenses with tint. Because materials and curves vary by model, ask your local optician to confirm compatibility and ideal lens options before you buy.
What should I consider for fit if my nose bridge is low?
Look for frames with adjustable pads or a slightly narrower bridge so the lenses sit higher and don’t touch your cheeks. Lighter metals help reduce slide in warm weather. A mild upsweep (cat-eye) can also keep rims off the face while adding a bit of visual lift.
