The Best Sunglasses You Need This Season for Chic, Unique Style

The arrival of warmer weather not only means tons of sunshine, but our favorite accessory that tends to be forgotten during the cold seasons. With the sun coming out more often, it’s time to talk about our sunglasses!

Best known as shades or “sunnies,” sunglasses are the most stylish and fashionable accessory you could have on hand this season. Not only do they protect you from bright light and harsh ultraviolet rays that cause damage to your vision, but they can also really tie your summer style together. With a slew of brands boasting fun, whimsical and classy vibes for the season with their summer collection, we share some of our favorites for both men and women.

Standing out for its unique and colorful details, Vogue Eyewear helps you make a bold summer statement. With bright colors, brave shapes and a modern design, this eyewear brand launched in 1973 under the same name as the famous fashion magazine plays with the hottest fashion trends with frames complementary to every need and global market. Encouraging women to experiment with their style like their brand muses, Adriana Lima, Deepika Padukone and Liu Shishi, Vogue makes new looks easy with affordable and trendy wear for a truly significant fashion statement.

Kate Spade New York

Le Specs

Ray-Ban

From Anna Kendrick to Tom Hiddleston, Ray-Ban is a huge part of American culture. Officially designed for U.S. Aviators in 1937, these sunglasses are not just iconic and an accessory of nostalgia, but one of the more timeless eyewear brands around. Widely known for their Wayfarer and Aviator styles, their frames gained popularity thanks to James Dean sporting them in 1955’s Rebel Without a Cause and later in 1983 with Tom Cruise dancing in his underwear for Risky Business. Since then, they have continued being one of the best-selling eyewear collections in the world and are a staple of Americana.
