Are the Gucci GG1689S lenses polarized?

No. They are solid grey bio nylon lenses with 100% UVA/UVB protection, but they do not cut glare the way polarized lenses do.

What face shape does the oversized cat-eye suit?

The wide, upswept shape flatters round and oval faces by adding angles. The 54 mm lens and 5.9-inch frame width run large, so narrow faces may find it too big.

Is the GG1689S good for driving?

Category 3 lenses work for daytime driving in bright sun. They are too dark for night driving, and without polarization they won't remove glare from wet roads.

What comes in the box?

Gucci sunglasses typically ship with a hard case, a microfiber cleaning cloth and a certificate card. Confirm the contents with the seller before ordering.

How does the GG1689S compare with Gucci's other cat-eye frames?

It is one of the larger, squarer cat-eyes in the line, with a 54 mm lens and a 5.9-inch frame width. Smaller Gucci cat-eyes suit narrower faces, while this one gives more coverage and a bolder look.

About the Gucci GG1689S Women's Sunglasses

The Gucci GG1689S is a women's full-rim acetate frame in a cat-eye, oversized rectangle shape, sold in speckled tortoiseshell brown. It has grey Category 3 solid lenses with 100% UVA/UVB protection, made of bio nylon, and is not polarized. The 54-19-145 fit is standard, with a 54 mm lens and 5.7-inch temples. It is a bold designer frame rather than a technical sport pair, so it competes on silhouette and materials more than on glare control.
