Convex Polarized UV 400 Sunglasses

The front is wide and flat across the brow, with rounded inner lens cutouts that soften the rectangle from up close. Temples are thick at the hinge and taper to a clean diamond cut, giving the profile real weight without bulk. On the model, the frame sits high on the cheekbone and stops just before the temple — proportions that read closer to a $400 European house than a $25 frame. As rectangular sunglasses men premium buyers tend to favour, the Convex leans bold but never costume. The four colourways shift the mood completely: black for evening, tortoise for tailoring, blue for off-duty, rose for warmer palettes. You can see the same restrained logo treatment across the DeLuxe polarized line.

The frame is cut from polished acetate — a denser, warmer material than injected plastic, and the same base used by most luxury Italian eyewear. Lenses are polarized and rated UV400, blocking 100% of UVA and UVB rays while killing horizontal glare off water, glass and asphalt. The polarization layer is laminated between the lens substrate, not coated on top, so it will not flake with cleaning. Stainless steel hinges are pinned through the temple, visible in the close-up shot, and tuned for a firm but quiet open-and-close. Lens tints are matched to each frame: smoke grey on the black, tortoise and blue, warm amber on the rose.

The flat brow and squared lens flatter oval, round and heart-shaped faces — anywhere a softer face shape benefits from a stronger horizontal line. The proportions read unisex with a slight masculine lean, and the colourway you choose tilts it further. For daily driving, the polarization makes a measurable difference on long highway stretches and reflective dashboards. If you want a softer angle, look at the Cat Eye polarized; for something more classic, the Aviator polarized covers that ground.

Are these polarized? Yes. Every Convex frame ships with polarized UV400 lenses laminated into the acetate, not a removable film.

What size are these frames? Estimated at roughly 54mm lens width and 145mm total temple, in line with most rectangle silhouettes. Treat as an estimate until you receive the spec card in the box.

How is shipping and returns? Free shipping on orders over $100 and 30-day returns on unworn frames in original packaging.

How do they compare to designer brands? Same Italian-grade acetate, same polarization standard, same stainless hinges. The only thing missing is the boutique markup.

DeLuxe works directly with the factories that supply several houses sitting on Bond Street and Madison. By skipping the wholesale chain and the licensing fees, the same frame that would retail at $300 lands closer to the cost of dinner. You can see the rest of the catalogue in New Arrivals, or browse the broader DeLuxe sunglasses collection.

Every Convex is covered by our UV400 lens guarantee and a 30-day return window from delivery. Free worldwide shipping applies to orders over $100, with a soft pouch and hard case included.
