10 Pairs of Sunglasses to Get You Through Summer
Really, wearing sunglasses is a year-round thing. Because Not only are they required to shield from the sun, but they present yet another way to flex your style muscles. Nonetheless, the summer months make a necessity for them all the more urgent.
With options as vast and plenty as is the case in the eyewear market, it can be difficult to single out the perfect pair. Thankfully, FramesDirect curates a selection of standout designer sunglasses, making it easier to zero in on your perfect match.
Their handy Virtual Try-On tool lets you see how different pairs suit your face from the comfort of your home. If you need prescription lenses, you can customize with features like blue-light filtering, polarization, or even Transitions® Light Intelligent Lenses™ — which automatically adapt to changing light and help protect your eyes indoors and out.
Plus, with available product protection and coverage options, you can shop with added peace of mind, since Frames Direct is also an in-network provider for most vision insurance plans, including EyeMed, Anthem, Aetna Vision Preferred, and Humana Vision.

Ray-Ban Wayfarer Puffer Black
Ray-Ban's Wayfarer is known as one of the best multi-tasking, understated frames in the world. By some standards, they're the default stylish pair of sunnies. And now, they come in an extra bulky build.
Moncler Laszer Mask Sunglasses White
There ain't nothing bulky about these Moncler sunnies though, at least not in the traditional sense. Their half frame, half wire stature makes for a retro-futurist silhouette that is less beach essential, more summer statement piece.
Diesel DL1014 Black Matte
These Diesels are somewhere in the middle, taking what's cool about the above, and injecting them with a dose of '90s minimalism.
Tom Ford Falconer-02 Black Brown
Barely anyone'd know more about turn-of-the-century, sexy minimalism than Tom Ford, and yet, these tinted vintage-y '70s shades lean heavier on the designer's love of eras even further bygone.
Gucci Rectangular Frame Sunglasses Gold
More so in line then, we find these Gucci sunnies. Sleek as can be, they echo, as fate would have it, the above-mentioned Tom Ford's time at the Italian brand.
Polo Sport Sunglasses Brown
From one '90s icon to another, these Polo frames almost remind of Carolyn Bessette-Kennedy's preferred shades, oval shape and all.
Versace Medusa Retro Charm Sunglasses Black
Now, these Versace glasses have no interest in understatedness, and go full throttle, with gold accentuations and the house's iconic Medusa logo front-and-center.
Oakley Flak 2.0 XL Black
Oakley, too, knows a thing or two about maximalism, but with emphasis on an athletic aesthetic rather than an ornamental one.
Arnette Bubblewrap Black
These Arnette glasses are stripped of decor, keeping it simple and effective in black.
Ray-Ban Zuri Bio-Based Rosty Brown
Last but not least, we're taking it back to Ray-Ban, this time with blue-tinted earth-toned shades that combine a simplistic silhouette with a bold choice of colored lenses. A clever collision of trendy and timeless.
