Because You Can Never Have Too Many, 18 Sunglasses Brands to Know and Shop

Sunglasses are the happiest accessory. Not only do they protect our eyes from the sun’s glaring rays, but the best sunglasses brands help to anchor your look, no matter what it is. A pair of cat-eyes will lend a vintage vibe, steel-rimmed Aviators will give you a dose of Americana, while round colored glasses can instantly make you look more artistic. To put it simply, every outfit looks better when finished off with a pair of sunnies.

And with the many brands that offer sunglasses, it’s not hard to find a really great pair. But what about those labels that specialize in making eyewear? Think the Warby Parker’s of the world and the ever-enduring label Le Specs, which was founded in 1979. Expertly crafted shades are at the core of what they do. Some of the brands have been around for decades (hello, Ray-Bans), while others are blossoming newbies that deserve a spot in your summer collection.

And because you can never have too many pairs, we’ve rounded up the best sunglasses brands to help you expand your growing collection.
