Rectangular sunglasses for men became all the rage in the 1960s when mod was in style. Big, oversized frames mimicked geometric shapes and patterns from clothing. Both men and women alike followed this trend, and it’s been popping up again for celebrities and influencers today.
Rectangle sunglasses typically look best on men with rounded and oval faces. If you’re one of those rare people with a heart-shaped face, you could wear some rectangular sunglasses as well. The sharper edges of rectangle sunglasses help give faces that lack edges some definition.
When picking sunglasses, you can choose regular ones or polarized ones. While regular sunglasses still protect your eyes from UV rays, they don’t offer extra protection from glare and it’s harder to see contrast. At WMP Eyewear, we offer these rectangle polarized sunglasses for men at an affordable price.
If you’re looking for some aviators, Emerson offers that retro, oversized rectangular look. Available in out-of-this-world colors like Moonrock grey, its single bridge design brings the vintage-inspired vibes while the more contemporary, acetate frames of today provide a modernized update.
Another pair of rectangular sunglasses that pay homage to the 60s is Abner, inspired by legendary auto designer Carroll Shelby's iconic shades. With a smoke green lens and champagne-colored crystal clear acetate frames, you’ll catch the eyes of every person in the room in these ultra stylish sunglasses.

This year, we’ve seen celebrities wear chunky, square sunglasses and cool wire or plastic aviators. Many people choose oversized looks or lenses with thicker frames, just like how mod sunglasses were worn in the 1960s. If you want to try some styles that match trends in 2023, order a pair like Abner or Emerson.
Rectangular sunglasses aren't recommended for those who already have sharp lines on their faces. So if you have a square face, rectangle sunglasses will likely accentuate that shape more intensely. Instead, opt for round sunglasses to offset your angles.
