Wayfarer Sunglasses for Festivals and Smoke Sessions
Wayfarer sunglasses are the classic frame shape that flatters pretty much every face — and these ones do double duty. They keep the glare off your eyes on bright days and, let's be honest, hide the evidence when your eyes are looking a bit red and glossy. Available in solid black or with a weed leaf print for those who like to wear their lifestyle on their face. Lightweight plastic frames, UV-protective dark lenses, and a shape that's been cool since the 1950s.
Which Style Should You Pick?
| Variant | SKU | Vibe |
|---|---|---|
| Black | HS1787 | Clean, understated — works everywhere from festivals to the office on Monday morning |
| Weed | HS1788 | Green weed leaf print on the frame — a conversation starter and a statement piece |
The black pair is the one you'll reach for daily. The weed leaf pair is the one you'll grab for King's Day, festivals, and Amsterdam weekends. Plenty of our customers end up with both.

Why You Need a Pair of Wayfarer Sunglasses
You step out of the coffeeshop or finish a session in Vondelpark, the Dutch sun hits you sideways off a canal, and suddenly you're squinting like a mole. Not a good look, and not comfortable either.
These wayfarer sunglasses solve that in about 2 seconds. Pop them on, and the dark lenses cut the glare immediately. The frame sits light on your nose — you barely notice the weight after a minute. They're not going to replace a pair of polarised Ray-Bans, and they're not trying to. What they are is a cheap, cheerful, genuinely useful pair of sunnies that you won't cry about if you lose them at a festival or sit on them in your back pocket. We've seen people spend serious money on sunglasses and then leave them on a table in a coffeeshop. With these, that's a shrug, not a disaster.
The weed leaf variant is a bit of fun — the print is bold enough to be recognisable but not so loud that you look like a walking dispensary sign. It's a nod, not a shout. The solid black pair, on the other hand, is about as versatile as accessories get. Either way, the dark lenses do a solid job of masking red, tired, or otherwise conspicuous eyes. You know the ones.
How to Use Your Wayfarer Sunglasses
- Remove from packaging and give the lenses a gentle wipe with a soft cloth to clear any dust from transit.
- Unfold the arms and place the sunglasses on your face — the frame should rest comfortably on the bridge of your nose with the arms hooking over your ears.
- Adjust the fit by gently bending the arm tips if they feel too tight or too loose behind your ears. Plastic frames have a bit of flex.
- When not wearing them, fold the arms in and store them in a soft pouch or case to avoid scratching the lenses. A microfibre cloth bag works well.
- Clean the lenses with lukewarm water and a drop of washing-up liquid if they get smudged. Dry with a lint-free cloth. Avoid paper towels — they micro-scratch plastic lenses over time.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do these wayfarer sunglasses have UV protection?
Yes, the dark tinted lenses block UV light. They're solid for everyday outdoor use — walking around town, sitting in the park, festival days. For extreme alpine or water-sport conditions, you'd want specialist polarised lenses, but for normal sunny-day wear these do the job.
Will they fit a large head?
These are a standard adult one-size fit. The plastic frame has a bit of flex, so they accommodate most head sizes comfortably. If you've got a particularly wide face, the arms might feel a touch snug at first but they'll ease up after a few wears.
What is the difference between the Black and Weed variants?
Same frame shape, same lenses, same fit. The only difference is the print on the frame. Black (HS1787) is plain solid black. Weed (HS1788) has a green cannabis leaf pattern on the frame. Lens tint and UV protection are identical on both.
Are these sunglasses durable enough for festivals?
They're lightweight plastic — not indestructible, but tough enough for a weekend in a field. We'd call them festival-grade precisely because you won't lose sleep if they get stepped on in a crowd. Toss them in your bag, wear them all day, and if they survive the weekend, great. If not, you're not out much.
Can I use these wayfarer sunglasses while driving?
The dark tint reduces glare and they're fine for daytime driving in normal sunny conditions. They're not polarised, so you may still get some reflected glare off wet roads or other cars. For night driving, obviously leave them off — the dark lenses would reduce your visibility too much.
Do the lenses scratch easily?
Plastic lenses will pick up scratches if you're rough with them — tossing them loose in a bag with keys and coins is asking for trouble. Store them in a soft pouch and clean with a microfibre cloth rather than your t-shirt. A little care goes a long way, even with an inexpensive pair.
Do they actually hide red eyes?
That's half the point. The dark tinted lenses do a proper job of concealing redness and any telltale glassiness. From the outside, people see dark lenses, not your eyes. We've been selling these since they first hit our shelves and this is consistently the top reason customers grab a pair.
