Sunglasses Gifting Ideas and Trends for the Holidays

Fill Your Shopping Cart or Wish List with These Styles

Whether you’re shopping for that special someone or putting together your own wish list, sunglasses are always a smart gift. And Maui Jim polarized sunglasses check all the boxes: styles to fit every individual, long-lasting frames, the best lens technology and outstanding eye protection. But with so many options available, how do you choose the perfect pair? Our designers are here to help with this short list of sunglasses gifting ideas and trends for the holidays.

Sunglasses trends for women

Fashion-forward styles are always popular, and mixed-material options seem to be catching many women’s eyes right now. Take a look at styles like Adrift, which features outer rims that “float” above the frame, or the distinct yet elegant butterfly-inspired design of Mariposa. The retro-looking Kalani is another on-trend style with exaggerated cat eye corners and a saddle-style bridge.

Sunglasses trends for men

Think functional, durable and timeless when you’re shopping for men’s polarized sunglasses. With a frame and nose pad area constructed of strong, lightweight carbon fiber, Dragon’s Teeth combines the best of comfort and resilience — and looks great, too! Or consider a classic pair like Waterfront. It features a long-lasting solid monel metal frame and fits all types of lifestyles and activities. Want something less traditional but still practical? Southern Cross is a nylon wrap frame that comes in three unique colors to match any style.

Sunglasses trends for active lifestyles

New materials mean Maui Jim polarized sunglasses continue to get lighter, and that’s a big bonus for runners, hikers, golfers, tennis players and other active folks. A rimless style like Hema features our lightest ever lens material, MauiPure® LT. Crater Rim delivers crystal-clear optics at just one-third the weight of glass, thanks to MauiBrilliant™ lenses. Another great option for active lifestyles is Bowline, which also features MauiBrilliant lenses, plus a titanium frame and nose pad and a visually grabbing brow bar.
