Product Insights
The Simons Metal Accent Round Sunglasses at $19 offer a stylish round silhouette with drop-resilient plastic and metal accents, ideal for angular and heart-shaped faces, but the non-polarized lenses have a yellower tint than depicted and sacrifice glare reduction, making them best for overcast days rather than bright sun or driving; in-store try-on is recommended to verify lens tint and fit, with easy returns and a $29 polarized upgrade available as an alternative.
Verified claims
- Lens tint
- Buyers report lens tint yellower than purple gradient in product images.
- Polarization
- The lenses are not polarized and offer 100% UV protection but no polarization-based glare reduction; at $19, the value is in the metal-accent frame rather than polarized optics.
- In-store verification
- Simons physical stores let buyers inspect the actual lens tint before purchase.
- Comfort
- Some buyers find the metal frame uncomfortable to wear, while others consider the sunglasses comfortable for the low price.
- Face shape
- The round silhouette complements square and heart-shaped faces by balancing angular jawlines and wider foreheads.
- Angular faces
- Round frames soften angular jawlines on square and heart-shaped faces.
- Heart-shaped face
- For heart-shaped faces, the round lens draws attention away from a wider forehead and the light metal-accent top line avoids heavy brow bulk.
- Frame
- Drop-resilient plastic frame with metal accents for a polished look.
- Retail convenience
- In-store try-on and easy returns available.
- Bright light
- The non-polarized lenses do not provide glare reduction, and a buyer reports using them mainly on days with more cloud cover rather than in bright sun.
- Overcast
- A buyer reports using the yellow-tinted lenses on days with more cloud cover.
- Polarized alternatives
- Polarized competitors such as Sungait Vintage Round and Gleyemor Polarized Round sell for under $20 USD, while Simons' polarized Nola Round model is a $29 CAD step-up.
- Fit
- The round silhouette balances angular face shapes, but some buyers find the metal frame uncomfortable to wear.
- Value
- Carefree $19 travel glasses with durable plastic, in-store try‑on, and a $29 polarized upgrade.
- UV protection rating
- Product details specify 100% UV protection, which generally corresponds to a UV400 rating and blocks both UVA and UVB rays.
- Frame durability
- The injection-molded plastic body withstands being tossed into a bag or knocked off a table without cracking, while the hinges and plated accents are less resilient.
- Metal-accent design
- The metal accent on the round frame adds a design detail typically absent from all-plastic frames at this price, giving it a more polished look than purely utilitarian budget sunglasses.

Everyday year-round accessory wear
Simons describes these round sunglasses as a flattering frame to wear all year long to complete your look, with 100% UV protection and clear adjustable nose pads. Some reviewers report the tint is lighter and more yellow than the product photos suggest, so they are better suited to casual everyday wear than bright-sun or driving situations, and the metal frame may pinch or feel stiff for some wearers.[1,2]
Cloudy-day outings with a contrast-boosting yellow tint
These round sunglasses work well for overcast or cloudy-day outings, where one reviewer found the yellow tint enhances contrast in low light. Note that the lenses have a yellower cast than web photos suggest — some see this as a drawback, but it suits cloudy-day wear.[1]
All-day wear — with some fit caveats
These round metal-accent sunglasses are meant for wearing through long days or events, and some wearers report they stay comfortable for all-day use. Experiences vary, though: other customers found the metal frame grew uncomfortable over extended periods, with one return attributed to pinching.[1]
Product comparison
Compared within this brand.
| Metal Accent Round Sunglasses: Choose these if you want round sunglasses with a subtle cat-eye lift, a gold metal bridge and temples, and purple gradient lenses that offer 100% UV protection; Simons describes the flattering frame as one to wear all year long, and they come in Black or Taupe, both in one size. Keep in mind that some reviewers found the tint more yellow than the product photos suggest, altering color perception and making them less suitable for bright sunlight or driving, though one found the tint enhanced contrast for overcast days. Fit feedback is mixed: some wearers were comfortable all day, while at least one returned them because the frame pinched.[1,2,3] | Renne Rounded Metallic Sunglasses: Choose this if you want lightweight, comfortable women's sunglasses with a thin glossy black metal frame, rounded geometric lenses in a dark gray-blue tint, and small gold-colored temple tips for a subtle metallic accent. They offer 100% UV protection and clear adjustable nose pads on metal arms, with plastic lenses and a metal-and-plastic frame. Note they come in a single size only, listed as ONE SIZE in the Black colorway.[4,5,6] | Elly Round Sunglasses: Choose this if you want a retro-styled pair of round sunglasses for daytime looks, with 100% UV protection and large, dark grey-blue tinted lenses in thin metal rims. The light plastic-and-metal frame includes clear adjustable nose pads and slender black temples, and Simons describes it as comfortable for everyday wear. It comes in one size in Oxford and Assorted color options, so fit is not adjustable beyond the nose pads.[7,8,9,10] |

Stylish sunglasses
I like these very much, the only drawback is the shading on the lenses is yellower than I thought from the picture on the website. I use these on days when there is more cloud cover.
