Knockaround sunglasses are universal; every pair is unisex and designed to suit a range of face shapes.

And have we mentioned how many colorways we offer? From the simple to the extravagant, we have it all. Basic black, cool blues, rosey pinks, and vibrant multicolor designs adorn every frame style. If you don’t find exactly what you’re looking for, our Custom Shop is open!

All of these features, colors, and frame options start at just $35. Affordable doesn’t get any better than this.
