Collection: Medium Size Sunglasses

Buy Medium Size Sunglasses in the UK – Easy Fit, Everyday Style | Ardor Eyewear

Some sunglasses are brilliant… until you actually wear them. They pinch. They slip. They look great in the mirror at home and then feel wrong the second you step outside.

If that sounds familiar, medium size sunglasses are usually the sensible middle ground. They’re the “fits most days” option—comfortable enough for long wear, sized to look proportional, and versatile enough to suit everything from a casual hoodie to a smarter coat.

At Ardor Eyewear, you’re shopping for authentic designer sunglasses online in the UK, backed by genuine optical know-how and real customer support.

What medium size sunglasses actually mean

“Medium” doesn’t mean average quality or basic style. It simply refers to the overall fit: a frame width that’s not too narrow at the temples and not so wide that it overhangs your face.

A practical tip before you scroll for hours: check the inside of the arm on a pair you already own. Most brands print a size code there (usually lens width, bridge width, and arm length in millimetres). Once you know roughly what works for you, buying online gets easier—and returns become the exception rather than the routine.

On Ardor Eyewear, the Medium Size Sunglasses collection is a big one, with lots of designer options, so you can start with size and then shop by vibe—aviator, square, round, sport, or something more fashion-forward. 

The part most people forget: UV protection

A dark lens can feel soothing, but darkness alone isn’t the same as protection. If you’re buying sunglasses for real-world use—driving, city walking, holidays—you want proper UV filtering.

UK eye-health guidance recommends looking for sunglasses with good UV protection and checking for recognised safety marks/standards

Some NHS guidance also suggests checking for UV400 and 100% UV protection when choosing sunglasses. 

Medium frames can be a great everyday choice here because they typically give solid coverage without feeling heavy. If you want even more coverage (more wrap, bigger lenses), you can always jump to your Large Size Sunglasses, Extra Large XL Size Sunglasses, or Oversized Sunglasses XXL Size pages.

A quick way to pick the right medium frame

If you want sunglasses that feel like they belong on your face, aim for a pair that sits naturally—no squeezing, no constant readjusting.

Fit checks that take 10 seconds

• The front of the frame shouldn’t look obviously wider than your face, and it shouldn’t be narrower at the temples either.
  

• The arms should run back smoothly, not flare outward (outward flare usually means the frame is too tight).
  

• When you smile, the frame shouldn’t ride up or touch your cheeks.
  

Lens choices that make life easier

• Polarised lenses are handy if glare bothers you (driving, water, bright pavement). Polarised lenses reduce glare and can reduce eyestrain in strong light.
  

• Don’t assume polarised automatically equals UV protection—check the UV rating/label as well.
  

Medium doesn’t mean “one look” — it’s the most flexible size

The nice thing about medium size sunglasses is how forgiving they are. With the fit handled, you can choose based on style instead of anxiety.

• Want something classic? Go aviator or Clubmaster-style and you’ll wear them for years.
  

• Prefer clean and modern? A square medium frame usually looks sharp without trying too hard.
  

• Like a softer look? Round or oval shapes can feel more relaxed and less “serious”.
  

If you’re buying as a gift, medium is also the safest starting point—especially when you don’t know the person’s exact size.

FAQs

1) Who should buy Medium Size Sunglasses?

If you usually find “standard” sunglasses mostly comfortable, but you don’t want the tight feel of small frames or the wide look of large ones, medium is typically the best match.

2) How can I check if medium will fit me?

Look inside the arm of your current sunglasses for the size code (lens/bridge/temple length in mm). Use that as your baseline when browsing.

3) Are polarised medium size sunglasses worth it?

If glare bothers you (especially driving), polarised lenses are a great upgrade because they reduce reflected glare and can reduce eyestrain. 

4) What UV markings should I look for in the UK?

UK eye-health guidance recommends choosing sunglasses with good UV protection and looking for recognised marks/standards such as CE/UKCA and ISO 12312-1, and some NHS guidance mentions checking for UV400 and 100% UV protection. 

5) What are Ardor Eyewear’s delivery and returns?

Ardor’s refund policy states 14-day returns for frames (customised lenses/coatings excluded), and the shipping policy states domestic delivery in 10 business days.
