Product Information
Full details
The Burberry 3179 Sunglasses are designed for adults who appreciate a classic, sophisticated aesthetic rooted in timeless design. These pilot-style frames offer a flattering teardrop shape that excels at balancing oval, triangular, and heart-shaped faces, providing both style and essential glare reduction through dark grey lenses; however, the metallic pilot construction may feel delicate compared to high-impact sport frames.

FAQs
Are these sunglasses suitable for a round face?
While the 3179 is optimized for oval, triangular, and heart-shaped faces, the pilot style is often versatile enough for various shapes depending on individual preference.
Are the lenses polarized?
The standard Burberry 3179 model features dark grey lenses that provide light reduction but are not specified as polarized.
Can I have these lenses replaced with prescription lenses?
Yes, many opticians can replace the stock lenses with custom prescription lenses that fit the 3179 frame dimensions.
What is the primary material of the frame?
The frames are constructed from high-quality metal materials characteristic of the Burberry 3179 series.
How should I store these sunglasses?
Always store them in a sturdy, protective case to prevent crushing the delicate pilot frame or scratching the lenses.
Does the frame color fade over time?
With proper care and avoidance of extreme chemicals or prolonged UV exposure beyond normal use, the finish is designed to be durable.
Troubleshooting
Frame feels loose on the face
Gently tighten the temple screws with a precision screwdriver or visit an optician for a professional adjustment.
Lenses have smudges or oily residue
Clean using a specialized lens spray and a soft microfiber cloth until the surface is clear.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Burberry 3179 frames maintain their integrity, always store them in a protective hard case when not in use. Avoid leaving them in high-heat environments like a car dashboard, which can warp the frame material or damage lens coatings. To clean the lenses, use a mild lens-cleaning solution and a clean microfiber cloth; avoid using paper towels or clothing, which can cause micro-scratches. Check the hinges periodically to ensure the temple screws remain snug for a consistent fit.
