Size Guide

Choosing sunglasses online is easier when you can compare the frame shape and measurements with a pair you already enjoy wearing. Lani Shades are designed and float-tested in Hawaii for days on the water and everyday adventures.

How to use this size guide

Compare the measurements shown below with sunglasses that already fit you well. Pay attention to the overall frame width, lens width and height, bridge width and temple length. Most Lani Shades styles are offered in one adult size, and stainless steel spring hinges provide a comfortable, flexible fit. Because every frame shape sits differently, the best choice is the silhouette that feels most like you.

Eddie

Eddie is our classic square frame with balanced proportions and a versatile fit. Its easygoing shape works across a wide range of face shapes and transitions naturally from time on the water to everyday wear.

Moana

Moana has a rounder lens profile and a softer, compact look. It is a strong choice for anyone who prefers a less angular silhouette or a frame that appears narrower on the face.

Waimea

Waimea offers a lifted, expressive silhouette inspired by the powerful lines of Waimea Bay. Choose it when you want a more sculpted shape with an elegant presence.

Kahala

Kahala is our distinctive cat-eye-inspired frame. Its confident shape adds character while remaining comfortable for everyday wear.

Makani

Makani is our low-profile wraparound style, designed for a closer fit and more peripheral sun coverage during sailing, boating and other active days outside.

Makani Kaʻena has slimmer arms and a slightly tighter medium fit. Makani Kaiwi uses wider arms for added buoyancy and tends toward a medium-to-large fit. Kaʻena is rated to float in salt water; choose Kaiwi when flotation is a top priority.

Mahalo Lani Shades, for creating something as beautiful as your purpose.

I purchased my first set of Lani Ohe Mana Kai shades in Oahu while on vacation in 2023. Since then I have sent them through the ringer and have cracked them repairing them with glue and retrieved them from rivers, lakes, and after dropping them out of the pickup many times. I’m a blue collar worker yet care about this beautiful earth we live on, these glasses have been with me through the last several years and still look great. Sustainability and attention to detail is why I love these glasses so much I purchased both a set of Mana Kai, because I love the engraving, and a set of Lanikai Iwas. I purchased them online as the mainland doesn't sell them and I searched for over a week in Maui while on vacation this last week but couldn’t find them. Honestly my favorite pair of glasses and I’ve owned a lot over the years. I will buy again, and again for as long as Lani Shades sticks around.

Mahalo Jacob!

Lani Shades

Lost my sun glasses while swimming at the beach a few days ago, while looking for a new pair, I found Lani Shades. I never had wooden glasses before, but these are great! They float, light weight and feel great! Thank you! Definitely recommend

Cannot give a review, I have not received them yet.

Wish I could give you a review, because I still have not received them. Apparently the USPS cannot for some reason deliver to me, they seem to get “lost” in the mail.

Aloha Danny, we are very sorry that the USPS had trouble delivering your package, even though we upgraded your shipment to USPS Priority. We're happy to see that they eventually were able to get it to you. We hope that you are happy with your Lani Shades, now that they've finally been delivered!

Customer service is fantastic

Customer service is fantastic. My package went missing and they were on top of it. The sunglasses arrived well packaged, which was good, because someone had busted open the outer box. The sunglasses were in great shape and seem nice and sturdy.

Well made, comfortable, and with a clear view of land, sea and air, these Lani Shades improve my vision. The polaroid lenses offer a precise view without altering the actual color of things. Instead, images are clearly delineated and without glare. I can't wait to put these shades on get outside.

Mahalo Benjamin!

Wow!

I received a pair of these for my 70th birthday and from someone who has spent a large portion of his life on the water, I was truly impressed! In fact, everything about these shades speaks quality. And the customer service was 5 star. What a great gift!

Mahalo Steve!
