The online shopping experience is great - I found the sizing info provided to be super detailed and helpful. I felt super confident purchasing these sunglasses from here despite my past struggles to find well-fitting ones. The fit of these is great, and it was a relief to finally have sunglasses that don’t feel and look too small for me. Love how these are polarized, and the quality is great for the price. I had no idea they give a lens cleaning spray as well. The glasses case is really soft and great quality.
The glasses themselves are super cute I get compliments on them all of the time! Perfect size (oversized ) for me and now that Ive lost weight they still sit beautifully on my face ( other glasses never fit as pretty) I only give it a four star because i ordered them for vacation a couple weeks in advance and they def still didn’t get here by then and when they finally did get here they gave me the wrong size so it took even longerrr, and the worst part is you don’t get an estimate on when they will arrive so I was def sketched out, but I will say they eventually fixed the mistake and I do genuinely love my glasses.

The monarch is my FAVORITE PAIR! I literally jumped to the opportunity to purchase them in a side Wide. I feel so confident and like "that girl" when I wear them! 10/10
Obsessed! These are my second pair of solkyst sunglasses, both are great quality.
I’ve never found a pair of these rectangular y2k style sunglasses that were flattering to my faceshape before, I’m so excited that these met my expectations! They look oversized on my round face and I love the dark tortoiseshell colour.
Shipped quickly and came with a great quality sturdy case.
I have wanted DESPERATELY to rock the Y2K trend with the wide rectangular frames. But with my very wide face, even the widest frames looked incredibly awkward and dorky. Enter the MONARCH!! I’m THRILLED to find a brand that flatters my face so that I can rock trends like all the other girlies.
I’d love to see some replicas of the classic Prada black sunnies or the free people oval sunnies! Can’t wait to follow this brand and see what other silhouettes they come up with. Will definitely be ordering more.
I have bought different sunglasses in this shape before and they always ended up looking slightly odd on me. But after I came across a few videos on tiktok by Sol Kyst talking about wide faces, I finally realised why they didn't look right! I always thought my round face shape was why all sunglasses looked slightly off, but I just needed wider sunglasses! Never something I would have thought of if not for Sol Kyst! Now I can wear this style of sunglasses and they actually fit my face and look good! The quality is amazing and the tortoise color is gorgeous! 10/10!

this is my 2nd order and there was a shipping issue again….this time my package label was created and was just sitting for a week. i emailed on the original delivery date and the said something along the lines of “oh youre right we did create the label a week ago, we’ll have someone drop it off at the shipping place today”. i think the sunglasses are nice and i appreciate the fit but theyre expensive to have shipping issues everytime i order

I love the fit of these. I never thought I could partake in the trend of sleek and narrow shades with how wide my face is, but now I can!
Store owner replied:
Thank you so much for your review!
We’re thrilled to hear that you love the fit and that you’ve found a pair that lets you enjoy the sleek, narrow shades style you’ve been wanting. It’s amazing to know they work so well for your face shape, that’s exactly what we aim for.
Thank you for choosing Sol Kyst, and we hope you enjoy your new sunglasses all season long!
Wish the shades were more black so you can’t see my eyes
Just like my 4 other pairs of solkyst glasses, these ones are amazing! Love the fit for my big head and wide face lol. I love softness of the brown on my complexion and they’re perfect for fall. Never regret a pair of these glasses!
I think these are cute! And for sure wide enough for the big head girlies (like are they too wide on me or am I not use to glasses fitting??) but my only complaint is the nose bridge—-It’s very shallow and the sunglasses hurt my nose after I have worn them for a bit
They are too thin horizontally so quite a lot of sunlight still gets through and I've found myself squinting while wearing them. I don't like how the long rectangle looks either, I would prefer it if the proportions were a bit more balanced. Well made though and seem like they will ladt a long time, unfortunately I don't think I will wear them much
Love! It was a long wait for the pre-order to the point where I kind of forgot, but the ability to have cute/trendy sunglasses that actually fit my face is worth the wait. While I wish it was a little harder to see my eyes through the lens, I like the shade color too!
Unfortunately, these glasses don’t fit well with narrow faces. Too much space between the glass and the eyes as well as between the glasses and cheeks. More suited for round or more plump faces, perhaps

Hi Maxine, you just described our exact goal: designing sunglasses to Fit & Flatter Cheeky Girls !! We started off designing glasses specifically for our Wide Faced Babes, and later began making smaller sizes for all those Babes with not as wide, but still cheeky faces !! We aim to fill a gap in the sunglasses market, designing glasses for all those who cannot find glasses in Standard sizes that suit their gorgeous faces. Thanks for trying our glasses, even if they didn't work out for you. xx
The Mini size is such a welcome addition to the Sol Kyst line !! My kids always want to wear my sunglasses, and now they can wear the Mini's without them falling off. Perfect for small/narrow faces of all sorts, and kids who want to be fashionable !!
As a heart shaped face girl, with high cheekbones, I never thought I'd be able to pull off these kinds of shades. These are the most beautiful luxurious sunglasses I've ever owned. Perfect width and I'm living out the Y2K vibe! I love the brand story and as a fellow girl boss, love to support! Worth the cost alone and will be purchasing many more!
Monarch makes me feel like Sofia Richie!!! I’ve never worn sunglasses that don’t have huge frames so monarch was a step out for me. I knew though that sol kyst makes quality products and Megan would never guide us wrong so I went for it! I’m so glad I did! I feel like I need to wear a slick back bun with big pants and a tiny purse when I put them on! They’re so on trend currently but not just trendy, these sunnies will definitely stand the test of time and with Sol Kyst quality ik I’ll be able to wear them forever!
Ordered the Monarch 2 months ago and have not received them. Have reached out multiple times about not receiving with no response back. Paid over $100 and super upsetting to not get them or get a reply back on what's going on...
Store owner replied:
Hi April, so sorry this happened to you last spring. I am just following up on any low star ratings, and upon reviewing your account I see you were shipped the Monarch glasses on June 14th, and they were delivered June 20th. We would love to hear how you like the glasses after having them + wearing them over the past 8 months. •Sarah
I have never had such a flattering pair of sunglasses. I love the way they look but even more than that I’m surprised at how much better these are at actually shading my eyes from the sun. I didn’t realize how poorly other sunglasses work until I tried these and noticed the coverage at the sides makes a huge difference. Also the quality is 10/10, the glasses feel substantial but not too heavy. I will never buy another brand of sunglasses again.
The sunglasses look and feel FANTASTIC. They’re super cute and I’m so happy I found this style of sunnies that’ll fit my wide face! However, I’m southeast Asian and have a flatter nose bridge. These sunnies have short nose bridge supports and they hit my cheeks / tilt downward :’( I’m still going to wear them obviously they’re stunning but I have yet to find the perfect fit
I LOVE these sunglasses - so stylish and finally a pair to fit my wide face! Yes they are fairly expensive however worth it as an investment piece. Delivery to mainland U.K. was within one week which was much faster than expected, super happy with the quality and service.
