      Great sunglasses, just a fraction large

        I have several pairs of Boden sunglasses - the style looks good and is practical - large lens to block out more sun, and very comfortable. Only criticism is that this pair (unlike previous pairs) seems just slightly large on my face - but my face is on the small side.

            An expensive buy so needed to be just right. but they were too big for me- husband said I looked like I was trying to make solar energy with them! Shame- I loved the idea of looking mysterious and chic.

                These are great sunglasses. I ordered the brown and love the colour and graduated lenses. I love the thin arms without any hideous branding that most sunglasses seem to have. Having seen very little of the sun this year, they have had limited wear but they seem to fit well though could be slightly lighter. My biggest concern is the case which will get filthy in my handbag and should really have either been darker or had an oilcloth type coating.

                  Lovely sunglasses but maybe just too big for me. The blue is just right not too blue. The fit is good. Nice quality of lens.

                    I bought these and returned them not because they weren't good but because they were quite expensive for a pair of glasses. I know that people pay lots for designer glasses but at the end of the day you are going to get them brushed with sand on the beach, drop them on concrete pavements, lose them! I would have kept them if they were half the price. However - they are gorgeous glasses.

                    Good quality/weight glasses but a shade bigger than a few years ago. Just looked way too big for my face unfortunately.

                      Loved these sunglasses - they fit really well and are so light you forget you're wearing them. The shape is flattering (not overwhelmingly large) and I love the blue - such a welcome change from black.
                      Living in Italy I wear sunglasses all year round. I only gave 4 stars, not five because I would have preferred the shading to be a maximum "4" and not "3" because the sun here is very bright....... Otherwise perfect!

                        I absolutely adore these sunglasses. They are extremely stylish and very flattering. Historically I have tended to buy designer shades, but of all the pairs I own these are my new favourite. The fit is also perfect.
