Sunglass Hut USA
From LoveToKnow Sunglasses
What makes Sunglass Hut USA special? Could it be their selection of designer sunglasses, their accessibility, or their customer service? Actually, it's a combination of them all, plus the fact that they have their finger on the pulse of the hottest trends.
About Sunglass Hut USA
Sunglass Hut USA is part of the Luxottica Group (purchased in 2001) and began in Florida in 1971. It had humble beginnings, a mall kiosk run by optometrist Sanford Ziff. There, he sold his sunglasses for around $20.00. The business grew rapidly, even internationally soon after. There are roughly 1500 Sunglass Hut locations in North America. You can find the ones near you in the United States by simply clicking the Stores button at the top right corner of the Sunglass Hut page.

Help Choosing Your Perfect Pair
There are a few ways that the Sunglass Hut site helps you choose your perfect pair in addition to just allowing you to search by brand:
Color: Here, there's a color wheel shape made up of sunglasses. Choose your favorite color, the wheel spins, and you get a recommendation.
Shapes and Styles: Only wishing for an aviator shape and not looking forward to wading through all of the other styles and shapes to find the one you want? No problem. Narrow your search by shape. They even have obscure shapes such as Butterfly (oversized sunglasses that flare out at the top and bottom) and Cateye. If you only want a wrap style for optimal UV protection, you can search through those, too.
Additionally, if you want a special feature, such as mirrored lenses, you can search just for those. You may also search by the type of lens or frame material you want.
Looking for polycarbonate lenses in a plastic frame? No problem. If you're shopping in the store rather than online, their employees will be glad to help you narrow your search down just as the website could do. The Sunglass Hut values customer service and they want you to be satisfied both with the product and the service you receive.
Returns and Exchanges
If, for some reason, you decide you purchased the wrong pair of sunglasses for your face or your lifestyle, you can return or exchange them for something that works better. Visit the site for more information about their return policy.
Gifts, Values, and What's Hot
The Sunglass Hut's reputation has come a long way since the 1980's, and so have the prices. You probably won't find a $20.00 pair of sunglasses on the site or in the store, but that is to be expected. Do expect to pay over $100.00 for some designers, but don't forget to check the "Values under $100.00" on the Stylefile tab. You can get styles from name brands like Oakley for as little as $70.00.
Some deals (like those in the clearance section) can only be found in stores, but if there is a Sunglass Hut near you, it will be well worth it. How does a pair of $60.00 Arnettes sound?
While you may be able to use the color/shape guidelines to pick your own perfect pair, you might be in need of a few more nudges in the right direction when it comes to choosing a pair for your significant other. Be sure to check the gifts section in the Stylefile tab for him or her.
A Final Word
Sunglass Hut USA started out in Florida and it continues to deliver high quality and accessibility to those who live in the United States. With locations in malls everywhere and a fantastic guide online, there's no reason you can't find your best designer sunglass look.
