No matter the season, sunglasses are a staple accessory that completes our every look. Whether your drawers are overflowing with sunnies of every shape, style, and color, or you’ve been relying on the same trusty pair for a decade, we can all unanimously agree that they’re both stylish and practical. According to the American Optometric Association, a good pair of sunglasses is key to preventing eye and vision problems caused by ultraviolet (UV) rays. According to its guidelines, an effective pair should snugly fit the face, block out 99 to 100 percent of both UVA and UVB rays, and boast lenses with consistent coloration.
However, not all sunglasses on Amazon may meet these safety standards, especially among the most affordable options. The hardest part is choosing a pair that strikes the right balance between safety and style, while aligning with current sunglasses trends. To help, we curated a list of 13 popular, highly rated styles on Amazon at a range of price points, starting at just $9. (We even found a handful of skus discounted for Amazon’s Big Spring Sale!) We included a mix of styles, from narrow, rectangular frames to oversize ones, and even brand-name favorites, including Ray-Ban Wayfarers, which are 15 percent off right now. Keep scrolling to shop our selection, and remember: for expert suggestions tailored to your eye health, speaking with an optometrist is your best option.
