How to Find the Right Sunglasses for Him

4 Questions to Ask When You’re Shopping

Who is the “him” you’re shopping for — is it your dad or brother, your husband or boyfriend, a colleague or a good friend, or maybe even yourself? When you’re selecting sunglasses for someone you care about, it’s important to get it right. Which raises the question: Is there a secret to how to find the right sunglasses for him?

The first step is choosing the right brand. We may be biased, but there’s a reason Maui Jim is the number-one brand of premium polarized sunglasses in the world — and why our demographics are split almost 50/50 male and female. We make sunglasses guys love to receive, wear and return to year after year.

As you’re shopping for “him,” here are four questions to ask yourself:

1. Is he an outdoor enthusiast? One great way to find the right sunglasses for him is to search by activity. You’ll find Maui Jim polarized sunglasses specifically for golf, fishing, running, hiking, tennis, water sports and more.
2. Does he have a certain fashion sense? You might want to start by searching frame styles. You can view all frames or shop collections popular with guys like aviators, wrap, rimless and shield. If he prides himself on wearing the latest styles, be sure to take a look at our new arrivals.
3. Does he wear reading glasses? Switching back and forth between sunglasses and readers is a hassle — with Maui Jim reading sunglasses, he won’t have to! You can add readers in +1.5, +2.0 or +2.5 power to most of our styles.
4. Does he require a special fit? Our Asian Fit polarized sunglasses are designed especially for those with higher cheekbones, wider faces and lower nose bridges.

Here’s another idea: If you want to give him a look that’s uniquely his own, try MyMaui customization.
