I’d like to say I’m a simple girl, but, there is one smol, dangerous trait about me and it’s that whenever I see a cute pair of sunglasses, I must purchase them. Yeah, my bank account doesn’t like that part of me too much. In a perfect world, every pair of totally cute sunglasses would be totally affordable, but alas, that’s not always the case—hence, why I’m here. With summer fully in our sights, a durable yet trendy pair of shades is vital for a warm-weathered wardrobe. So, to get some UV protection in your future (without dropping a lot of coin,) may I present you with the best sunglasses under $50?
Ahead, 15 pairs of sunnies you’ll want to wear all season long. From chic oversized designs to pairs that look like they came straight from the closets of some of the ’00s biggest stars, there’s a style for everyone. If you need even more fashion inspiration for the summer, trust us with the recs. Check out these seriously adorable dresses you can pick up from Amazon, shop these straw bags that look good on and off the beach, and obsess over a couple of swimsuits from these sustainable swim brands.
