Half Frame UV 400 Sunglasses

The frame is a half-rim octagon. The top half of each lens is suspended in a thin gold or gunmetal wire, and the bottom half is left rimless, which keeps the cheekbones open and the face uninterrupted. A guilloché-style barrel crosses the bridge and the temple tips finish in glossy black for grip. As geometric metal sunglasses go, this is one of the more refined shapes in the range — the purple fade and blue gradient variants read almost jewel-like in daylight. If you like this clean, hardware-forward feel, the Frameless Sunglasses '22 follows a similar rimless logic.

The frame is metal — a lightweight alloy finished in gold or gunmetal, with the half-rim construction that gives the design its floating look. Every lens carries full UV400 protection, blocking the entire UVA and UVB range. These are non-polarized gradient lenses, tinted darker at the brow and fading toward the lower edge, which is what keeps the rimless cut visible. The nose pads are soft clear silicone and the temple tips are acetate-finished for a secure hold. Browse the full DeLuxe sunglasses collection to compare finishes.

The octagon shape softens angular faces and adds structure to rounder ones, so it lands as a genuinely unisex frame. Women and men both wear it well, and the neutral proportions keep it in everyday rotation rather than reserved for occasions. Wear them driving, walking the city, or over a summer terrace lunch — the gradient tint reads dressed-up without trying. Those drawn to bolder shapes can explore our best-selling frames for something heavier.

Are these polarized? No. These are non-polarized gradient lenses with full UV400 protection. For glare reduction on water or roads, see our polarized acetate line instead.

What size are these frames? The lens measures roughly 54–56mm wide based on the octagonal proportions, a mid-size fit that suits most face widths. Treat this as an estimate rather than an exact spec.

How is shipping and returns? Free shipping on orders over $100, with 30-day returns on every pair.

How do they compare to designer brands? Same alloy frames and UV400 lenses you find on $300 designer eyewear, made in the same class of factory — without the boutique markup.

DeLuxe is a Montreal brand built on a simple idea: the markup on luxury eyewear is mostly the logo. We work with the same suppliers that produce for far pricier houses and sell direct, so the money goes into the frame and lens rather than the storefront. What you hold is the object, not the marketing.

Every lens is backed by our UV400 guarantee and ships with a soft pouch to keep the finish scratch-free. Returns stay open for 30 days, and shipping is free once your order clears $100.
