Fold this pair flat and something appears that the front keeps to itself: a neat line of small round gold-tone studs running down each arm.
Face on, there is nothing to catch the light. The square front with its softened corners is glossy black the whole way across, with no contrast panel and no inlay, and the lenses stay the same dark tint from rim to rim.
Nothing on the visible side announces that decoration. The front is a single piece with no cut-out and no added surround, and its outer edge runs almost straight before turning at the corner. The decoration belongs to the arms, so the product photo only gives it away because the folded arms sit right behind the glass.
Plenty of tinted pairs lighten towards the lower edge. This one keeps the same depth from the top rim to the bottom rim. A small CE mark is etched near the edge of the lens, faint enough that most people never notice it.

| Bridge | Short and narrow, set back between the two lenses. |

| Studs | Small round gold-tone pieces in one line along the arm. |
| Tips | Black and rounded, showing past the lower outer corner. |
Push the pair up onto your head and a wide front holds its place, keeping a fringe back like a band, while a narrow arm works loose and slides down again. That is the practical gap between this shape and a slimmer one, and it is why a big pair spends more of the day on the head than in the hand. Black and gold-tone ask nothing of the rest of the outfit, so the only question left is how much of the face you want covered. It is worth seeing what the shelf offers once you leave black behind before settling on one.
Each arm finishes in a rounded black tip that shows past the lower outer corner once the pair is folded flat. That tip is the first thing to meet a lining or a knit when the pair goes loose into a bag, and it is also the part that takes the wear on a pair opened and closed a dozen times a day.
