Collection: Small Size Sunglasses

Buy Small Size Sunglasses in the UK – Petite Frames That Sit Right 

Small frames aren’t a niche preference — they’re a proper fit solution. If standard sunglasses look oversized, slide down your nose, or stick out past your temples, the issue usually isn’t your face… It's the frame width. This Small Size Sunglasses collection is designed for a neater, more proportionate fit, so your sunnies don’t swamp your features or wobble every time you move.

Ardor Eyewear brings years of optical expertise online, offering authentic branded eyewear as official stockists with expert advice and customer care. 

Why small size sunglasses make such a difference

A smaller frame tends to sit closer to your natural face width. That changes everything:

  • The lenses sit where they should (not too low)

  • The arms don’t flare out

  • The frame doesn’t feel like it’s floating on your nose

And visually, it’s cleaner. Smaller sunglasses usually look sharper on petite faces because the shape feels intentional instead of accidental.

This collection page also highlights the key shopping perks you’d expect for UK buyers — free UK delivery, a 14-day return window, and a 2-year warranty message, plus on-page discount prompts. 

What small means when you’re buying online

The fastest way to avoid guesswork is to check the sizing code inside the arm of a pair you already own. Most sunglasses include measurements like lens width, bridge width and temple length (in mm). It’s not glamorous, but it works.

If you don’t have an old pair to compare, shop by feel:

  • You want the frame front to match your face width (not sit wider than your temples).

  • The arms should run back smoothly, not bow outward.

  • The bridge should feel stable. If you’re constantly pushing your sunglasses back up, the fit is off.

UV protection: don’t let dark lenses fool you

A tinted lens can feel soothing and still be useless for UV. Eye-health guidance in the UK often recommends checking for UV400 / 100% UV protection, and looking for markings like CE (and, where applicable in the UK market, UKCA) to show the sunglasses meet required standards. 

If you’re shopping for everyday use — driving, commuting, walking — don’t treat UV protection as optional. Treat it like the whole point of sunglasses.

What to check on product info or packaging

  • UV protection stated clearly

  • Safety/standards marking such as CE

  • Lens category (0–4) is often listed on quality pairs too

Little frames, big style range

Small size doesn’t mean you’re stuck with one look. You can still go classic, modern, sporty, or fashion-led — you’re just choosing a frame that’s scaled properly.

Here are a few directions shoppers usually like:

  • Soft rounds / ovals when you want something easy-going and not too sharp

  • Clean rectangles for a more structured, everyday shape

  • Cat-eye inspired curves (subtle ones) for a lift without going full statement

  • Lightweight metal styles if you hate the feeling of “heavy” sunglasses on your nose

And if glare is your main issue (especially behind the wheel), it’s worth browsing polarised sunglasses too — your collection navigation already supports those pathways.

Fit wins you’ll notice immediately

Signs you’ve found the right small fit

  • The sunglasses sit steady even when you turn your head quickly

  • The arms don’t press hard at the temples

  • Your eyes look centred behind the lenses (not lost in a huge frame)

  • No cheek contact when you smile

Quick picks that tend to work well

  • Slim acetate frames for a tidy silhouette

  • Small metal frames for an almost “weightless” feel

  • Slightly deeper lenses if you want more coverage without extra width

FAQs

1) Who should buy small size sunglasses?

If most sunglasses look too wide, slide down, or sit past your temples, small sizing is usually the right starting point.

2) How do I know if a frame is too big?

If the arms flare outward, the front looks wider than your face, or the frame slips constantly, you’re probably in the wrong size.

3) What should I look for to make sure they protect my eyes?

Check for UV400 / 100% UV protection and markings like CE on the frame or product information. 

4) Are polarised lenses worth it?

If glare is annoying (driving, water, bright streets), polarised lenses can be a smart upgrade. You can browse polarised options from the collection navigation. 

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

Ardor states 10 business days for UK delivery, and returns within 14 days for frame refunds/exchanges (customised lenses/coatings excluded).
