Choosing women's polarised sunglasses
Women's polarised sunglasses cut the glare from water, wet roads and snow, which makes driving and beach days more comfortable. Bear Essentials makes every polarised frame here, and its listings give a 100% UV rating too. Komodo frames have UV protection, but their listings do not mention polarised lenses, so check the lens details before you buy. Bear Essentials, Komodo and Sutsu make the range. Each brand was checked for its frame materials and how its sunglasses are made before joining Ziracle.
Women's wooden sunglasses
Bear Essentials makes women's wooden sunglasses from hardwood veneer layered with thin aluminium, so the frame stays light and keeps its shape. Styles include the Lagos, Biarritz, Watergate, Nevis and the rectangular Sennen, with lenses in ice blue, rose gold, gold chrome and vintage brown. Its wayfarers pair wooden arms with a tortoiseshell bio-acetate front. A round or soft square frame suits most face shapes, and a rose gold lens adds warmth. As a rule, pick a frame shape that contrasts with your face, such as a round frame for a square jaw or an angular one for a round face.
Recycled frames from Komodo and Sutsu
Komodo sells frames by the Danish label A.Kjaerbede, made with more than half recycled materials, in styles such as the Jolie in cream, the Frida in light olive, the Billy, the Rio and a yellow oval cat-eye. Transparent and tortoiseshell frames suit everyday wear, while a cream or olive frame stands out on holiday. Sutsu makes the Crash Override, Party Starter and Wasted Weekends XL frames, each from five recycled plastic bottles.
Lenses and care
Bear Essentials and Sutsu sell polarised replacement lenses, so a scratched pair can be refreshed rather than replaced. Clean lenses with water and a soft cloth, keep them in a case and never leave them on a hot dashboard. Check the lens category before driving, because category 4 lenses are too dark for the road. Women's Hats has caps for sunny days, Women's Watches has wooden watches, Sunglasses has more frames, and A beginner’s guide to sustainable fashion: What slow fashion actually means explains how to buy better.

Can I replace the lenses?
Yes. Bear Essentials and Sutsu sell polarised replacement lenses for their frames.
