Premium Polarized Lenses: Metal Frame Sunglasses for Every Look
Shop our metal frame sunglasses — metal frame fronts paired with sustainably sourced wood temple arms for a refined silhouette that pairs structural strength with natural texture. Every pair in this collection is built with polarized lenses and full UV400 protection. Choose from classic round wire frames, retro-square, hexagon, octagon, and oversized aviator silhouettes in finishes including silver, gold, black, and other tones, designed for men and women.
Our metal frame sunglasses come in a range of fits and finishes designed for men and women, from slim wire silhouettes that suit closer-set features to wider, more substantial frames for larger face shapes. Stainless steel construction holds its shape over years of regular wear without warping or weakening with age, while the wood temple arms add a softer, warmer contact point against the skin than cold metal or stiff plastic. Polarized lenses cut horizontal glare from water, road surfaces, and bright outdoor light. Metal frames pair especially well across round, square, and oval face shapes where the thin profile keeps proportions balanced. Browse our metal frame collection to find your pair.

Frequently Asked Questions
What are metal frame sunglasses?
Wire frame sunglasses are a type of metal frame sunglasses — the two terms are often used interchangeably. "Wire frame" specifically refers to the thinnest, most minimalist metal silhouettes where the frame is reduced to a single wire profile around each lens, while "metal frame" is the broader category that includes both wire frames and thicker metal builds. All wire frames are metal, but not all metal frames are wire frames.
What metals are used in your metal frame sunglasses?
Our metal frame sunglasses are crafted from premium stainless steel, which offers high strength, corrosion resistance, and a refined finish that holds up to daily wear. Every metal sunglass in this collection pairs the metal frame front with sustainably sourced wood temple arms, giving you the structural strength of metal with the warmth and natural texture of wood.
Do you offer polarized metal sunglasses?
Yes, every pair in our metal frame sunglasses collection includes premium polarized lenses with 100% UV400 protection as standard. Polarized lenses cut horizontal glare from water, road surfaces, snow, and reflective glass, which makes them particularly useful for driving, beach days, and outdoor sports. Polarization is independent of frame material, so every metal sunglass in this collection ships with the same lens quality regardless of finish or silhouette.
Do you offer round metal sunglasses?
Yes, round metal sunglasses come in multiple variations across the collection. Classic round wire frames like the Lennon sunglasses deliver the John Lennon-style silhouette with a thin metal rim. Larger round metal sunglasses with a double bridge like the Aspen Gold sunglasses add a more vintage, aviator-inspired layer to the round shape. Round metal sunglasses pair particularly well with square or rectangular face shapes.
Are metal frame sunglasses good for everyday wear?
Yes, metal frame sunglasses are one of the most everyday-friendly eyewear categories. The thin profile sits light on the face for extended wear, while stainless steel construction holds up to daily handling, weather exposure, and the regular wear-and-tear of being taken on and off throughout the day. The minimalist silhouette also pairs naturally across casual, professional, and dressier outfits, making metal frames a versatile staple rather than an occasion-specific accessory.
Are metal frame sunglasses durable?
Yes, metal frame sunglasses are among the most durable eyewear materials available, and every metal sunglass in our collection is built with stainless steel for long-term wear. Stainless steel offers high tensile strength and corrosion resistance, holding its shape over years of regular use without warping in heat or weakening with age. Our metal frames are also backed by a 12-month warranty against manufacturing defects.
Do metal frame sunglasses bend or break easily?
No, quality metal frame sunglasses don't bend or break easily under normal wear. Every pair in our collection is built with spring hinges that flex outward when the temples are opened wider than usual — for example, when slipping the frames on quickly or pulling them over a larger head size — and return to shape without bending out of alignment. Spring hinges are one of the most durability-extending details available in eyewear construction.
Are metal frame sunglasses heavy?
No, metal frame sunglasses are typically lighter than acetate or plastic alternatives despite the metal construction. Metal allows for a thinner build than acetate while staying structurally sound, and the thin profile distributes weight more evenly across the nose and temples, reducing pressure points during extended wear. Most pairs in our collection weigh between 20 and 30 grams.
Are metal frame sunglasses comfortable to wear?
Yes, metal frame sunglasses are designed for extended comfort, and our collection layers additional comfort details into the build. Adjustable nose pads let you fine-tune fit around the bridge, preventing slippage and pressure marks. The sustainably sourced wood temple arms in every pair also add a softer, warmer contact point against the skin than cold metal or stiff plastic.
Do metal frame sunglasses rust?
No, metal frames are corrosion-resistant by design and don't rust under normal wear conditions. The chromium content in the metal forms a protective layer that blocks oxidation, holding up across daily wear. Prolonged exposure to salt water, chlorine, or heavy humidity can wear down this protective layer over years, so rinsing frames with fresh water after beach or pool use extends frame life.
Are metal frame sunglasses unisex?
Yes, metal frame sunglasses are fully unisex, and our collection is designed across both men's and women's styling preferences. The thin metal profile and refined silhouettes work across genders, with frame size and finish acting as the main styling variables. Shop both men's and women's sunglasses for more frame styles across all materials and shapes.
How do I clean metal frame sunglasses?
To keep metal frame sunglasses in top condition, clean lenses and frames regularly with a microfiber cloth and a gentle lens cleaner — avoid paper towels and harsh chemicals, which can scratch lenses or strip frame finishes. Every Kraywoods order includes a protective case for safe storage between wears. Check nose pads occasionally for alignment, and avoid prolonged exposure to chlorine, salt water, or heavy moisture.
