Product Insights
The Higgins Rectangular Sunglasses from Le 31 are a $29 impulse buy with 100% UV protection confirmed by AAO, but lack polarization. Their rectangular frames are recommended for round faces as a top pick, yet may be too narrow for rectangular faces. As Simons' exclusive in-house brand with Canadian creative direction, they offer a style-consistent value at the cost of polarized lenses.
Verified claims
- UV protection
- The Higgins Rectangular Sunglasses are labeled 100% UV protection, the exact wording the American Academy of Ophthalmology recommends; the AAO also states that sunglasses don't have to be expensive to be effective.
- Polarization vs UV
- 100% UV protection without polarization.
- Face shape
- Rectangular frames suit round faces, where the angular lines elongate the face; for rectangular faces, the Higgins adds softness without lengthening when the frame is not too small or narrow.
- Round face
- Higgins rectangular sunglasses are a top pick for round faces.
- Rectangular face
- The Higgins may be too narrow for some rectangular faces; men with rectangular faces can wear it only when the frame proportions are not too small or narrow.
- Canadian design
- Le 31 is Simons' exclusive in-house brand with Canadian creative direction.
- Value proposition
- The Higgins is an impulse-level accessory with exclusive Canadian design, despite lacking polarization.
