Compare each frame shape and the measurements below with sunglasses that already fit you well. Most Lani Shades styles are offered in one adult size, and spring hinges provide a comfortable, flexible fit. Because every silhouette sits differently, use the model photos and dimensions to find the style that feels most like you.
Eddie is our classic square frame with balanced proportions and a versatile fit. Named in honor of legendary Hawaii waterman Eddie Aikau, its easygoing shape works across a wide range of face shapes and transitions naturally from time on the water to everyday wear.
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 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 is our distinctive cat-eye-inspired frame, named for the Honolulu neighborhood. Its confident shape adds character while remaining comfortable for everyday wear.
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.

Great glasses for sailing! They cut the glare so well! Dropped them multiple times overboard/jumped in with them and safe to say they were on the surface waiting for me!
amazing shades! clearly made for watermen. lenses are polarized and reduce glare allowing me to see deep underwater even on cloudy days
Amazing sunnies! Been wearing them sailing and everyday and they're the best! Super lightweight, don't slide around, and cut through the glare really well. Definitely recommend!
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.
I love these glasses and the fit ! The color is so cute, I got the pink ones and the sun protection was fabulous! Used it on the boat I work and was able to see the water clear!
Just got these shades and I am super impressed! Polarization is awesome, they feel great on my face, definitely my new favorite pair of shades 10/10 will buy again!
Love these shades so much. Theyre stylish, sustainable, and great for being out on the ocean. I can see so well when its sunny, it makes a huge diffrerence. Also I can relax knowing that they'll float if I ever drop them. Recommend to anyone looking for new shades. Greg is awesome!
Love my white Lani shades with hot pink lenses they are the best…. Solid ski / surf lenses and float on water… when I was in Hawaii I lost my sunnies in the surf so these are perfect for me!
We were given these floating bamboo sunglasses for our instructors to use on the water, and they’ve been great so far. They’re lightweight, comfortable for long days outside, and the fact that they float is a huge plus for a marine environment. The bamboo frames feel solid without being heavy, and they’ve held up well to salt, sun, and constant use. Overall, they’ve been a practical and reliable addition for our team, and we’re happy with how they’ve performed. Thank you Lani Shades for your support in teaching sailing to the youth of Oahu.
Environmentally conscious, fashionable, and most importantly polarized. As someone who spends a lot of time in the sun, on land and at sea, sunglasses are a must. I've gone through many pairs from different brands, and honestly Lani Shades are the best because they're made from sustainable bamboo and they FLOAT. Less pollution for our oceans and planet.
Im in Waikiki and bought these new Lani Shades with the pink lenses and white frames. They are soo cute and I constantly get compliments. They came with a great case and also float when in the pool or beach. Seriously awesome buy!
Just got the sunglasses from lani shades and I’m honestly impressed. Super light, comfy, and the natural wood look is clean. Lenses are clear and block the sun well. Didn’t expect to like them this much, but they’re officially my new everyday shades.
I love that Lani Shades isn’t just another sunglasses brand. I got the pink lens pair and they’ve honestly become my go to for work on the water. They’re lightweight, comfortable, and I don’t have to worry about losing them to the ocean because the wood frames actually float, which is perfect when you’re on a boat all day. What I really like is that they feel purposeful. They use less plastic, and they help pull plastic off the beaches, and all of that matters when you literally spend every day in the ocean. But at the same time, they’re just the cutest! I get so many compliments on the shape and color. They’re durable, stylish, ocean-friendly, and definetly my favorite sunglasses i’ve ever owned!
These glasses are perfect for sailing, both big boat cruising and dinghy racing. The lenses are high quality and super clear. This style is great for people with smaller faces as they stay on really well.
I absolutely love these glasses, even more because working on boats it protects me from the sun and my visibility to the ocean is so clear and blue.
