Product Information

Full details

These Michael Kors Sea Island sunglasses are designed for adults seeking a stylish accessory with a touch of retro flair. Their primary benefit is the flattering butterfly shape, crafted from a lightweight blend of metal and acetate, which enhances facial features. A minor caveat is their specific suitability for round, square, and oval face shapes. Key features include a butterfly-shaped metal frame in black, light grey gradient black lenses, and etched temples for a sophisticated detail.

FAQs

What face shapes are these sunglasses best suited for?

The Michael Kors Sea Island sunglasses are specifically designed to flatter round, square, and oval face shapes. The butterfly-inspired shape helps to lengthen and balance facial features.

What are the sunglasses made of?

The frame is crafted from a lightweight mix of metal and acetate, offering both durability and comfort.

What color are the lenses and what type of tint do they have?

The lenses are light grey with a gradient tint, providing sun protection while allowing for clear vision.

Are these sunglasses suitable for men and women?

Yes, the Sea Island sunglasses feature a unisex design and are suitable for any wearer.

How should I clean the lenses to avoid damage?

Always use a soft, lint-free microfiber cloth. For tougher smudges, a gentle cleaning solution specifically for eyewear or mild soap and water can be used, followed by thorough rinsing and drying with the microfiber cloth.

What does 'etched temples' mean?

Etched temples refer to subtle decorative patterns or branding that have been engraved into the arms (temples) of the sunglasses frame.

Can I get prescription lenses fitted into these frames?

While these sunglasses come with non-prescription gradient lenses, many optical shops can fit prescription lenses into compatible frames. It is advisable to consult with your local optician for compatibility and fitting services.

Troubleshooting

Sunglasses feel loose on the face

Minor adjustments can sometimes be made by a professional optician. For significant looseness, check if the screws on the hinges are intact and consider consulting an optician for professional adjustment or repair.

Lenses appear smudged or dirty

Use a dedicated lens cleaning solution or a mild soap with lukewarm water. Rinse thoroughly and dry with a clean microfiber cloth. Ensure the cloth is free of dust or debris.

Frame feels uncomfortable or causes pressure points

The lightweight design should prevent discomfort. If pressure points occur, it might indicate the frame shape is not ideal for your specific facial structure. Minor adjustments can be attempted by an optician, but significant discomfort may require considering a different style.
