Sunglass Retail Directory
A directory of retailers selling fashion sunglasses
Sunglasses sit at the meeting point of eye protection and fashion statement, and sunglass retailers organize that meeting by brand, function and price. Brighterman, the UK mens accessories retailer, stocks designer sunglasses including Ray-Ban alongside its hats, watches, wallets and bags, selling on attention to detail and quality brands. Nine West brings sunglasses into a full accessories wardrobe, belts, handbags, jewelry and sunglasses under one brand, a division of the Jones Apparel Group with its long list of American labels. Oakley represents the performance pole listed here: polarized sunglasses, transitions lenses, custom eyewear, sports performance sunglasses and even prescription sunglasses, in shapes and sizes built around sport first and style as a close second. Around those anchors, the directory points shoppers to the men's and women's sunglass guides and eyewear pages elsewhere on Apparel Search, because choosing sunglasses well means matching lens technology and frame shape to a face and a life, not simply picking a familiar logo off a display wall.

Frames, Fit and the Fashion Side
The fashion half of sunglasses is frame architecture: aviators, wayfarers, round and oversize shapes each redraw the face, which is why accessories brands from Nine West to the designer labels at Brighterman treat sunglasses as a seasonal collection rather than a utility. Fit is the discipline underneath: frames should sit without pinching, lenses should cover the eye's full field, and the bridge decides whether a pair stays put through a day of wear.
Because sunglasses are small, high-value and easily damaged, retail service matters: cases, adjustments and lens replacement separate a sunglass store from a rack. The directory's mix, mens accessories specialist, fashion accessories brand and performance eyewear maker, reflects the three ways shoppers actually buy them.
Common Questions
What types of sunglasses do the retailers here sell?
Three broad families. Designer fashion frames, the Brighterman and Nine West route, where brand styling leads. Performance and sports sunglasses, the Oakley specialty, including polarized and transitions lenses and custom eyewear. And prescription sunglasses, which put a wearer's correction into a sunglass frame. Most full-range retailers mix the first two; prescription work needs an optical service, which is why Oakley lists it as a distinct capability.
Why choose polarized sunglasses?
Polarized lenses carry a filter that blocks horizontally reflected glare, the dazzle off water, wet roads, snow and glass, while ordinary tinted lenses only darken everything evenly. For driving, fishing, sailing and snow sports the difference is immediate and practical. Oakley's range leads with polarized options for exactly that reason. For general city wear, a quality non-polarized lens with full UV protection does the protective job.
Do sunglasses need UV protection as well as dark lenses?
Yes, and the two are not the same thing. Darkness is tint; protection is the lens material or coating blocking ultraviolet radiation, and a dark lens without UV blocking can leave eyes worse off because pupils open wider behind it. Reputable sunglass retailers sell lenses rated for full UVA and UVB protection as standard, one more reason to buy eyewear from a named specialist such as the stores listed here rather than an unbranded stall.
