Shoppers Guide To Buying Retro Sunglasses Frames
Frequently Asked Questions
What are the best retro sunglasses to buy in 2026?
The best retro sunglasses to buy right now are the ones that pull from iconic vintage silhouettes without looking like a costume. Cat-eye, round wire-frame, wayfarer, oversized aviator, and hexagonal shapes lead the current retro revival. Kraywoods retro sunglasses are built from these era-defining shapes with sustainable materials, giving you classic style with modern comfort and lens quality.
Are these actual vintage sunglasses?
No, these are vintage-inspired retro sunglasses rather than authentic vintage originals. Every pair is newly crafted with sustainable materials and modern construction, but the silhouettes and design details are drawn directly from iconic eyewear across the 60s, 70s, 80s, and 90s. You get the vintage look without the fragility, lens quality issues, or fit problems of true vintage pieces.
What are the classic retro sunglasses shapes?
The classic retro sunglasses shapes are cat-eye, round, aviator, wayfarer, browline, oval, and oversized statement frames. These silhouettes have defined vintage eyewear across six decades and continue to lead current retro trends. Cat-eye and round dominate the women's side, while aviator, wayfarer, and browline anchor the men's range. Every classic shape is represented in the Kraywoods retro sunglasses collection.
What are the best retro sunglasses for women?
Cat-eyes, oversized rounds, and tinted lens frames are the strongest picks on the women's side of the collection. The Ivy two-tone wood cat-eye is one of the standouts, giving vintage-inspired shape and design-led material choice in a pair that reads polished without trying too hard. Explore the cat-eye sunglasses collection for similar options.
What are the best retro sunglasses for men?
Aviators, wayfarers, browlines, and round wire-frames anchor the men's side of the collection. The Parker oversized aviator is a strong go-to for buyers who want a vintage-inspired frame with real presence, built in premium acetate with natural wood temples for a design that carries weight without weighing you down.
Are Kraywoods retro sunglasses polarized?
The majority of Kraywoods retro sunglasses come with premium polarized lenses that block glare and provide sharper vision in bright conditions. Every pair in the collection also provides 100% UV protection as standard, whether the lenses are polarized or not. Polarization improves clarity on the road, at the beach, or on the water, making these vintage-inspired sunglasses functional as well as fashion-forward.
Can I get retro sunglasses with prescription lenses?

HD single vision, progressive, and high-index lens options are offered at checkout, with every prescription reviewed by our certified in-house optician.

Every frame is reinforced for durability and finished for all-day wear.
Are retro sunglasses good for everyday wear?
Yes, Kraywoods retro sunglasses are built for daily wear, not occasional statement moments. Frames are lightweight and reinforced for durability, adjustable spring hinges keep the fit comfortable across long days, and the majority come with polarized lenses that cut glare on the road, at the beach, and in daily commutes. The classic silhouettes are versatile enough to pair with almost anything, so they hold up as your everyday pair.
