Tortoiseshell Sunglasses

A warm, versatile tortoiseshell frame, the Kensington in tortoiseshell wraps a sharp, slimline rectangle frame in warm brown acetate, giving a smart shape a softer, more wearable finish. Tortoiseshell sunglasses suit almost every skin tone and read as both classic and current, while the hand-finished pattern means no two frames are ever exactly alike. The rectangle shape flatters rounder and fuller faces by adding length and angle, so this pair works as an everyday go-to.

Underneath the beautiful styling sits an excellent grade UV400 polarised lens. These polarised lens sunglasses use a lens coating that blocks 100% of UVA and UVB rays, while the polarisation strips out the glare reflected off roads, water and bright surfaces. For driving especially, that reduction in glare makes a real difference to comfort and clarity, and as a pair of polarised glasses they keep colours natural rather than washed out.

Sized for a comfortable medium-to-large fit, the Kensington has sprung hinges that flex to suit most face widths and a lightweight build that stays put without pinching. As a pair of mens tortoiseshell sunglasses the warm tone pairs beautifully with browns, denim and everyday neutrals. The warm amber tones flatter most skin tones, and the slim rectangle shape adds length to rounder faces. For tortoiseshell sunglasses that look smart and protect your eyes properly, the Kensington is an easy choice.

FAQ:

What is the difference between tortoiseshell and brown sunglasses?
Tortoiseshell is the mottled amber-and-brown pattern of the frame; a plain brown frame is a single solid colour. The pattern makes tortoiseshell more versatile.

Do tortoiseshell sunglasses suit everyone?
Close to it — the warm amber tones flatter most skin tones, and the slim rectangle shape adds length to rounder faces.

Alice Young, Northampton

Delivery was earlier than estimated, which was a lovely bonus. The glasses look stylish and have a good, sturdy feel to them. The build quality is impressive and they look great, too. Very satisfied overall.
Amy Robinson, Swindon

Really impressed with these reading glasses — I honestly didn’t expect them to be this good. I own more expensive optical frames, and these are actually better! They look stylish, feel great, and exceeded my expectations. I loved them so much I immediately ordered a second pair.
Claire Wilson, Edinburgh

My local opticians were so overpriced so i decided to try Just Glasses instead, and I’m really glad I did. They’ve been brilliant for reading my book or doing a bit of sketching, and they’re great to have on hand for everyday use or when I’m away for the weekend. Superb value, and I’m delighted with them.
David Thompson, Worcester

The best reading glasses store online. Unbeatable value for money and simple to order. I always order the same blue pair, and the delivery is nice and quick. I would highly recommend them.
