Square Sunglasses
Square-framed sunglasses with glossy black plastic frames and smoke-grey gradient lenses that are darker at the top and lighter toward the bottom. They are rated for UV400 (400 nm) protection, and the frame markings read 3702 48-25-141 CE CAT 3, indicating a 48 mm lens width, 25 mm bridge, 141 mm temple length, and a category 3 filter intended for bright outdoor daylight. Small silver rivets appear on the frame front and temples, and the lightweight plastic construction is designed for everyday wear.

Product Insights
The Simons Square Sunglasses are an affordable, in-stock plastic-frame style at C$19 whose core promise is full UV protection—UV400 lenses block 99–100% of UVA and UVB through 400 nm—paired with a modern Mossy Green color that buyers see as a stylish break from black and brown. The main tradeoff is a CE CAT 3 gradient tint that proves too light for bright full-sun exposure, despite letting through 8–18% of light to ease eye strain for contact lens wearers; the lenses are non-polarized, so they do not reduce glare on roads or water but keep phone and car screens readable, and buyers report the shade works well on overcast days while still blocking UV. Fit and care also carry caveats: the marked 48-25-141 frame runs small in lens width with a wide bridge, and the plastic frame requires lukewarm soapy water since hot water can warp it and shift the fit. It is returnable at no cost for Simons members or for C$9.99 otherwise, a contrast to the similar Simon Blue Square model, which allows no refunds and is listed at a higher $45.
Verified claims
- Tint
- One buyer with sensitive eyes reports the CE CAT 3 gradient tint is too light for very bright days.
- UV protection
- The lenses carry a 400 UV protection / UV400 rating and block 99–100% of UVA and UVB rays up to 400 nm.
- Contact lens use
- For contact lens wearers, CE CAT 3 tint is the standard all-purpose daylight shade.
- Bright sun performance
- The CE CAT 3 label does not guarantee bright-sun comfort: the gradient tint is light and the lenses are non-polarized, so one buyer with sensitive eyes found them not great for very bright days.
- Frame measurements
- Marked 48-25-141; 48 mm lens runs small, 25 mm bridge wide, 141 mm temples standard.
- Care
- Clean the plastic frame with lukewarm soapy water; hot water can warp it and shift the fit.
- Returns
- Returnable — free for Simons members, C$9.99 otherwise — whereas Simon Blue Square Sunglasses allow no refunds.
- Polarization
- Non-polarized lenses don't cut reflected glare but keep phone and car displays readable.
- Price comparison
- Simons Square Sunglasses are listed at C$19, while Simon Blue Square Sunglasses are listed at $45, but because the alternative price is not expressed in CAD, no same-currency price advantage is established.
- Frame material
- Plastic frame; Simon Blue Square instead uses half-transparent acetate with navy gradient lenses.
- Comfort
- CE CAT 3 lenses let through 8–18% of light, easing eye strain for contact lens wearers outdoors.
- Lightweight comfort
- The frame is lightweight and comfortable for extended wear.
- Nose bridge profile
- The front has a one-piece integrated saddle bridge rather than adjustable nose pads, so slip on a low nose bridge depends on personal fit.

Fait changement du brun ou noir. Très jolies!
Signature Summer Shades
I'm really enjoying these. They are not too heavy, and the look is sleek yet modern. They add a hint of style to all my outfits and I generally love green but find it can be a hit or miss and just tacky in terms of shade with other options I've seen. They are now my go to glasses.
Fun but not great blocking power
These are fun sunglasses not super bright day sunglasses if you have sensitive eyes.
