Thrifty Fun
Forever 21 ($1.50)
Yep, seriously—$1.50! With a price tag cheaper than your morning cup of coffee, these flattering aviator-style shades are just asking to be bought in every bold summer hue.
Modern Cat Eye
Urban Outfitters ($2.99)
If you’re more of a throw-them-in-the-bag-and-forget-about-em type of girl when it comes to sunglasses, and don’t want to freak out if you end up scratching a $200 pair, these are your bet. They’re cheap enough that you won’t feel guilty about buying a few pairs, and modern details like a zigzagged side keep them feeling fresh, not basic.

Urban Outfitters ($10.00)
Keep Wayfarer-inspired shades from feeling predictable with this pretty print, playing nicely to this season’s super-feminine trend.
Black and Blue
Old Navy ($9.50)
A faded tint and a subtle tie-dye hue make these sunglasses professional but not boring.
Take to Heart
Go Jane ($5.90)

Tasteful Tortoiseshell
Cheap Monday ($30)
Desire a classic look but sick of boring blacks and aviators? Try tortoiseshell toned frames for a librarian-chic look that instantly sophisticates your style.

Vogue Eyewear ($79)
The perfect accessory to your LBD: Oval-shaped frames scream mod, while the black and white stripe accents feel positively Parisian. J’adore!
Color Pop

Starry Eyed

These celestial numbers just might be our new obsession. Two-toned plastic frames and dainty, gilded stars lead to a pair of shades with the rare perfect combination of trendy and girly chic.
Euro Trip
Dolce and Gabbana ($134.95)
The full shape of these Italian designer shades feel boldly European, while muted colors and dark tinted lenses lessen their overall edge.
Go for the Gold
Tiffany & Co. (430)
A major splurge at just under $500, these shades are only for the serious sunglasses-devotee. But with crystal studded tips and golden shimmery frames, this style is sure to look like a million dollars.
