Nocturnal Habit Sunglasses

Le Specs' Nocturnal Habit Sunglasses bring polarized biosourced acetate, Level 3 UV protection, and a designer case at CAD 95 — a value combination typically exceeding CAD 150. The square D-frame flatters oval, round, heart, and diamond faces by widening or defining the jawline, with 54mm/18mm proportions avoiding oversized extremes. However, the fixed 18mm bridge and 145mm temples suit only straight to slightly hooked noses and heads under 60cm, requiring an optician for adjustment or strong prescription lenses. Backed by Le Specs' 1979 heritage, these sunglasses offer premium details and editorial credibility at a sub-$100 price point, with the main tradeoff being a fit that may not accommodate all facial structures.
