Sunglasses' Blog - Australian Fashion Eyewear

If you’re spotting more women wearing wooden sunglasses lately, it’s not a coincidence. Wooden frames are quickly becoming the go-to alternative to plastic, and it’s not just about looks. From comfort to conscious living, there are plenty of reasons shoppers are switching up their eyewear game.

In this blog, we’ll take a closer look at why more people are reaching for women’s wooden sunglasses and leaving plastic frames behind.

1. No two pairs are exactly the same

Wooden sunglasses have a charm you won’t find in mass-produced plastic frames. Each pair carries its grain and colour variation, giving it a unique finish. That natural difference brings a more personal feel to what you wear every day. It’s also the kind of detail that resonates with women who like their accessories to have a bit more meaning.

2. Better for the planet = better for us

Traditional plastic sunglasses are petroleum-based, mass-produced and don’t biodegrade. On the other hand, sustainably sourced wooden sunglasses are crafted from renewable resources and often made with less waste. Choosing eco-friendly accessories like women’s wooden sunglasses is an easy way to bring more intention into everyday purchases. For many, it’s about making a stylish choice that also says, “I care”.

3. They’re lightweight and surprisingly comfortable

If you’ve ever had sunglasses pinch your nose or dig into your temples, you’ll appreciate this one. Wooden frames are often lighter than plastic, especially when made from materials like bamboo or maple. They’re built to sit comfortably all day long, whether you're out running errands or enjoying a long beach day. Women who make the switch usually notice the difference right away.

4. Natural materials pair beautifully with everyday looks

There’s a reason wood has found its way into so many parts of design — it pairs well with just about anything. That goes for sunglasses, too. Whether you're in a crisp white button-up or a loose sundress, women’s wooden sunglasses blend seamlessly into casual and dressed-up looks alike. They also bring warmth and ease to your outfit more naturally than plastic pairs do.
