So you can dry those tears, eyeglass warriors. Venture out in the sunshine once again in full confidence, while maintaining vision clarity and protection. We’ve done our research on four different fit over sunglasses available on the market today and have been impressed by what they have to offer in terms of protection, fashion, and fit.
1. (New!) The Fresh – Wraparound Shades
Max eyeglasses width: 5.7 inches wide
Max eyeglasses height: 1.7 inches tall
This is a new addition to our list (added Aug. 2019), and we’ve moved them to the #1 spot. The reason being that these come across as a much more “natural” look and feel, while still fitting nicely over your existing glasses. While these are unisex of course, we think that these are particularly-suited as a men’s style for over-glasses sunglasses. They’re polarized, come in a variety of colors and styles, and you can’t beat the price at under $20!
