GQUEEN oversized pair

Oversized is a fit decision as much as a style one: a big square lens covers the brow and the cheekbone and keeps light out at the sides, which is what the ophthalmologists mean when they recommend a wraparound. The S904 is the heaviest frame we make and the one with the most reviews on the site; it is not polarized, and the card says so. The cat-eye is the lightest way to get the same coverage, and its mirrored tints, pink, blue, silver and gold, are the ones that show up in photographs.

Prices are the ones we last read; a GQUEEN habit updates them on a schedule, and the figure at the till is the one that counts.

Questions about GQUEEN oversized

What people want settled before they buy a oversized pair.

Why is the GQUEEN oversized square S904 not polarized?

Because the line was built around the frame and the tints rather than around a filter, and the card prints the honest claim, UV400 and nothing more. Buyers who want the filter in an oversized shape have the cat-eye on the same shelf, which carries one in every tint.

Does the GQUEEN cat-eye fit a wider face?

It flexes to. The polished-metal frame gives a little at the corners, and the silicone nose pads pinch or spread, so the same pair sits on a narrow face and a broad one with the pads doing the adjusting. The S904, being a thick moulded rim, fits the face it fits.

Which GQUEEN oversized frame photographs best?

The cat-eye in a mirror, pink or blue: the mirror is what the camera sees, and the polarized brown or grey underneath is what you see. The S904 in champagne or tortoise photographs as a frame rather than as a lens, which is a different kind of picture.
