Product Insights
For $19, Simons offers a voluminous rectangular silhouette that flatters flat or angular faces but may gap on curved ones; it is a fashion piece without polarization or confirmed UV400 protection, yet buyers find it surprisingly sturdy and collect both hazelnut and black colorways for outfit coordination.

Deep Research
Value comparison with other budget rectangular sunglasses
- Simons' own $29 Gabby polarized square sunglasses reveal that polarisation costs an extra $10 within the same brand, making the $19 Megan a deliberate entry point for buyers who value frame design over glare reduction and are willing to forgo a lens feature that competitors sometimes include at a lower price.
- The Megan is part of a trio of $19 rectangular sunglasses at Simons — alongside the Daisy and Joyce — turning the $19 price point into a self-contained fashion edit; the buyer's choice is not about paying more for better materials, but about selecting the frame shape that best fits their personal aesthetic.
- The Megan's defining silhouette — described as 'voluminous and slightly rounded' — sets it apart from the sharper rectangular frames that flood the low-cost market, giving it a retro personality intended to 'top the trends and your news feed,' which is the primary justification for its price over purely functional alternatives.
- At $19 CAD, the Megan sits between the under-$13 plastic frames (Blacksheep $8.95, Amazon unbranded $12) and Simons' own $29 polarized Gabby, aligning exactly with the polarized, metal-framed Sungait Rectangular at $18 — showing that $19 in this category buys either technical specs or brand/style, and the Megan is positioned firmly on the style side.

Cute!
Just the style and fit I was looking for. I have similar ones in black and wanted a brown version.
Great price, great style.
Love the style. They are straight across with no contour to your face but it part of the look.

Elles ne suivent pas la forme du visage elles sont trop droites mais j'adore la forme sinon
Q&A
3 answered- Are these sunglasses polarized?
- No, these sunglasses are not polarized. The product description notes only "100% UV protection" with no mention of polarization, and none of the available variants list polarized lenses.
- How durable is the plastic frame against bending or pressure?
- The plastic frame is described as "light and comfortable," but one review notes the frame is "too straight" and doesn't contour the face, suggesting it may be somewhat rigid. We have no specific durability tests or bend-resistance data.
- Do these sunglasses offer UV400 protection or just general UV protection?
- The listing states "100% UV protection" but does not specify UV400. While UV400 is a common standard for blocking 99-100% of UV rays (as noted by ophthalmology sources [1]), we cannot confirm that these lenses meet that specific rating.
