Chanel sunglasses are great! And Gucci (the flamboyant styles are everywhere now, but they’ve got great, more wearable styles too). Also Tom Ford and Oliver Peoples.

Yeah? Awesome thanks! Chanel seems to be a popular one so I'm going to have to look it up
I love my Celine sunglasses! Also a big fan of Valley Eyewear for more unique styles.

Thanks SM1 :) thats great to know
Depends. Do you want them for fashion, for function, or a mix of both? I need a ‘mix’ since they are used in high UV situations—beach, on boats, in snow and while driving in reflective conditions.
So I pay extra to buy polarized ones—and these range from $165-$300. I prefer Maui Jim, Oakley, and Persol, but also have some d&g and Carreras. Go to sunglass hut and see what you like. Hard to recommend any brands without knowing your style or what you intend to use them for

I'd like them to look good, but more classic that would stay in style longer as opposed to more trendy. Also I can be quite the scatter brain and sometimes I toss things in a bag or something so maybe something not super fragile would be ideal. I do like the idea of UV protection, especially since I find it hard to get my sunscreen near my eyes often.
Good point about going to sunglass hut for sure. I think the price range you listed seems reasonable for me, thanks! Thats very helpful
Stay away from Tiffany. They don’t use wire frames, just plastic, which easily stretch out if you wear them on your head.

Ohh good to know. I'm pretty clumsy and prone to break things so I need something durable. Thanks for the heads up!

I love my YSL ones 😍

To be honest, no clue 🙈 I got them to match my shopper bag and wasn’t looking at specs. Looking at their website looks like they are!

I love Cartier sunglasses. It’s my second pair.
Chief
Didn't know they made glasses. Haha sorry I'm not very familiar with sunglasses clearly. Are they sturdy and UV protective?
FL based 🐠 here and sunglasses are an everyday thing. Big fan of Quay sunglasses, (pronounced like Key) it’s a very popular Australian sunnies brand that’s underrated in the US. They’re super cute and decently price with polarized lenses. I have a pair of aviators with fun colored lenses. Note I do own a few designer glasses- Gucci, DG, channel these are mostly for style not UV protection.
Chief
oooh never heard of this brand, but I like that it's affordable and polarized. Thanks for the recommendation!
Illesteva’s are my newest obsession and they have a huge sale going on rn
Chief
Thanks EY1! Ill go check the sale!
Ray Bans are my personal favorite. I have several pairs (one of which I’ve had since circa 2012). No matter how many times I’ve dropped them, forgotten to put them back in the case, etc., they still look good and fit great.

I always bought designer glasses (burberry, tory burch, etc) but somehow had bad luck with either losing them or breaking them. I now have multiple pairs of these tortoise ones from Nordstrom, love them and they're only $20 and look pretty luxe!

I like aviators and a nice polarized lens and lifetime warranty. I wear Costa’s.
