Quick take: expect easy fits, Italian acetates, and clean, modern lines that feel effortless to wear.
You’re here for the feel as much as the look – Paul Smith frames keep the shape crisp while staying comfortable on long days. If bridges tend to slip or temples pinch, this lineup favors stable balance and gentle side pressure so the sunglasses sit where you set them.
Fit & low-bridge stability
Low-bridge wearers often fight slide and cheek touch. Choose slightly wider nose saddles or keyhole bridges and shapes with balanced front weight; a soft-square profile helps spread pressure evenly. For extra stability, raise pad height a touch, set a mild toe-in at the pads, and add discreet stick-on pads; keep temples level with a gentle ear curl—small tweaks, big difference.
Sun lenses, simply put
These styles use branded sun lenses designed for daily glare comfort; check each product page for specific UV notes and tint details.

Materials & care
Acetate feels smooth, holds finish well, and warms slightly to your fit with regular wear. Keep frames out of hot dashboards, rinse off salt or sunscreen, and store in a case to avoid scuffs. Most listings include a protective case or pouch - check the “What’s included” note on the product page before you buy.
Style with ease – let the frames do the talking, not the fit.

FAQ
Are Paul Smith sunglasses on this page authentic?
Yes. These are authentic Paul Smith pieces sourced through standard retail channels. ModaFrames is an authorized retailer, and our team checks model information, materials, and packaging details before listings go live. If you have questions about a specific style, reach out and we’ll help.
Do Paul Smith frames work for low bridges?
Many styles sit comfortably on lower bridges thanks to balanced front weight and gentle temple curves. If glasses usually slip, look for soft-square fronts and consider adding clear stick-on pads to fine-tune height and stability. Small adjustments at the temples can also reduce slide without pressure points.
What sizes should I expect for these sunglasses?
Lens, bridge, and temple measurements vary by model. Open the product page to see exact millimeters for each frame and compare to a pair you already wear. If you’re between sizes, a slightly shorter temple or a modestly wider bridge can meaningfully change comfort and balance on the face.
How can I ease temple pressure with these frames?
Temple tightness often improves with a mild outward bend at the tips and a gentler curve behind the ear. Ask a local optician to adjust the temple angle and pantoscopic tilt so weight sits more evenly across the sides and bridge. Balanced front weight also reduces pinch over longer wear.
Are the lenses UV protective?
Brand sun lenses are selected for everyday outdoor use. Specific UV statements can vary by model, so always check the product page for the exact claim and tint information. For additional glare management, consider browsing a category focused on glare-reducing lens tech elsewhere on the site.
Where are Paul Smith sunglasses made?
Many Paul Smith sunglasses are produced in Italy using high-quality acetates and precision hardware. Country of origin appears on each product page. If you prefer Italy-made specifically, use the description and specification sections on the listing to confirm before purchasing.
Do these come with a case?
Listings typically include a protective case or pouch, but the exact accessory set can differ by model. Check the “What’s included” details on the individual product page. Using a case helps preserve acetate finish and keeps lenses from picking up micro-scratches in bags or pockets.
What’s the return process if the fit isn’t right?
Open the product page for your chosen frame and review our policy page for timelines and steps. Keep all packaging until you’re sure about the fit. If you need quick guidance on whether a minor temple or bridge adjustment could help, message support before initiating a return.
How do I choose between square and aviator shapes?
Square fronts tidy up softer features, while aviators add openness and length. Compare your current favorites to each model’s lens width and height. For a quick primer on matching frames to features, see our Face shape guide and use it as a starting point, not a rulebook.
Can I fit prescription sun lenses later?
Most acetate, full-rim frames accept prescription sun lenses. Your optician can confirm lens compatibility, walk you through tint and mirror options, and advise on bridge and temple tweaks so the frame remains comfortable after lens swap. Bring the frame specs (mm) listed on the product page to your appointment.
