7 pairs of golf sunglasses to kick off summer that look great on and off the course - GolfDigest.com

When it comes to selecting a pair of golf-specific sunglasses, it can be tricky to find quality shades that also look good. Selecting the ideal pair of golf sunglasses is about shape, coverage and lens technology, so pay attention. Be sure to pick a pair that blocks harmful UV light (UVA/UVB). Most top brands in golf will offer this, but it's always good to check. Though most gravitate to polarized glasses, that isn't always the best choice. Polarized glasses are meant to reduce glare when you're on water, and since reading greens is all about interpreting glare (sheen of grass), you might suffer on the greens.

When it comes to fit, it's important to find a pair of sunglasses that won't get in the way of your golf game. Always be sure to make some practice swings when shopping for sunglasses to make sure the frames don't slide down your nose during the downswing and your views are unobstructed. A good pair of golf sunglasses should feel snug without any pinching sensation.

Eyewear is a great way to add personality to your golf ensemble or test out new colors and patterns. When it comes to shape, you'll need to decipher what shape your face is first—round, square, oblong, diamond, triangular or oval. Oval faces are the easiest to pair with, since the face is longer than the width, most frames will match. If your face is round, select a frame that is wider than your cheekbones. Thin, rounded frames will soften the jawline on square faces with sharp jawlines. Oblong faces with longer foreheads are suited for more narrow styles. Diamond shapes—small jawline, pointed chin, with the widest point of the face hitting at the cheekbones—warrant thinner, top-heavy vintage frames. Faces with larger jawlines and a smaller forehead is categorized as triangular and that shape is essentially made for aviators.

Check out some of these golf-specific sunglasses that will enhance any outfit, protect your eyes—and maybe even help your game out a little.
