Mini-Me Style: Matching Sunglasses for Parents and Kids

There's something special about a child wearing the same sunglasses as mum or dad. Matching pairs make great photos, and they're also one of the easiest ways to get kids to wear sunglasses at all: children copy what they see.

OLIVIO&CO designs the same colours and shapes across ages, so the whole family can match. Here's how.

Why matching sunglasses work

  • Kids copy grown-ups. When a parent puts on sunglasses, a child is much more likely to keep theirs on.
  • Sun protection becomes a family habit, not a battle.
  • Every size is made for its age. Kids' frames are designed for children's faces, not just shrunk down, so the match looks right and fits right.

Styling tips for a family set

  • Match exactly for photos and holidays: same colour, same shape.
  • Coordinate for everyday: the same colour in different shapes, like an oval for the parent and a round for the child.
  • Go tonal: pick sunglasses in a shade from the family's outfits, like olive green with neutrals or coral with summer whites.
  • Let kids choose the family colour. They'll be proud to wear it.

Getting the size right

Choose each pair for the wearer's current age. See our kids' size guide by age. Every pair has polarized lenses with 100% UV protection.
