This year I’ve made it my mission to wear sunglasses less because people give me actual shit for the amount of photos I am pictured in. I have been doing *okay* with less sunglasses, but for me, an outfit just isn’t complete without a rad pair of sunnies.
THAT BEING SAID, I love buying sunglasses & I just can’t justify every pair being designer, especially went here are SO many brands making the similar style sunnies at a much better price. I just can’t relate to someone who spends $400 on a pair of sunglasses.
TBH, I probably bought more designer sunnies in highschool (sunnies + Frankie B’s were where all my paychecks from the donut shop went lol) than I have in the past 3 years. The styles change on the reg when it comes to sunglasses & you’ve gotta keep up with out breaking the bank.
SO- sharing with you guys some of my fave sunglasses of the moment below, including a few under $20 from Amazon (you know I love an Amazon score!).
THE SUNGLASS EDIT OTM (all under $70!)
1. Quay x Desi Perkins ‘Don’t @ Me’
my favorite black sunglasses for everyday wear, the classic black + the updated cat eye gives every look cool girl vibes.
2. Monarch Tokyo ‘Pappilon’
OBSESSED with these & all of the 90’s grunge feels they possess. Perfect with a graphic tee, leather skinnies, & some rad ankle boots. I got the cherry red, but they come in all different colors.
3. Quay x Desi Perkins High Key Mini
The ONLY aviators you need to own. The High Key Mini is the perfect size & literally look good on every face.
4. Monarch Tokyo ‘Neo’ Small Frames
I love the small sunglass trend & now that it’s spring I snagged myself a pair of fresh white sunglasses. I love this shape & they are so cute with an all white look or and oversized t-shirt dress with a bomber jacket. CUTE.
5. Shady Lady ‘Hayley’ Oversized Cat Eyes
These are my go-to’s for when I don’t wanna wear eye makeup, but still wanna look fly (also great for hangovers). They cover HALF YOUR FACE & give you all the Rachel Zoe vibes.
6. Black Rimless Shield Sunglasses
I am loving the shield trend & I always love a sleek black pair of sunnies (also, RIMLESS!). These from Amazon are great quality, look amazing on, get SO many compliments & are only $17!
7. Shady Lady ‘Kendall’ Small Oval Sunnies:
Assuming these were named the Kendall after Jenner cause damn she rocks this trend so good. I LOVE anything 90’s so you better believe I am obsessed with these small oval sunnies. Very MK&A circa When in Rome too.
8. Rainbow Mirror Lens Shield Sunglasses:
Last year in Copenhagen we walked into the Acne Archive store & saw these exact sunglasses for $300. I almost bought them but I passed cause, again, I don’t love to spend a ton on sunnies!! Luckily I somehow stumbled across the EXACT same ones on Amazon for $13. AN EPIC SCORE.
