First off, let me just say these Mad Shade sunglasses are absolute head-turners. The dual-tone black and gold frames give off major luxury vibes without the designer price tag. I’ve gotten so many compliments wearing these—whether I’m out for coffee or pretending to be incognito at the grocery store.

The gradient lenses are *chef’s kiss*. They’re dark enough to shield my eyes but still let me see clearly indoors (yes, I wear them inside sometimes—don’t judge). The UV400 protection is a solid bonus for sunny days, though I wouldn’t rely on them for intense beach glare.

BUT… here’s the tea. The arms? Flimsy. One brisk walk and these babies were sliding down my nose like they had somewhere else to be. If you have a narrow face or plan to wear them while being active, maybe reconsider. Also, the edges of the arms are weirdly sharp? I’ve accidentally scratched my temples more times than I’d like to admit.

For the price, they’re decent fashion sunglasses—great for ‘fit pics or low-key outings. Just don’t expect Oakley-level durability. 7/10, would buy again but only because they make me feel like a mysterious celeb.
