The season we’ve all been waiting for is finally back — summer! It’s time to kick back and relax on a beach, hang out at a happy hour with friends, and enjoy some of the long-awaited sunshine — all while wearing a fresh new pair of stylish sunglasses. I’m sure I’m not the only one that grew tired of the neverending cold weather and the constant grey skies. Sure, it’s nice to bundle up and get cozy with a good book, hot chocolate, and sweet-smelling candles to set the mood, but sometimes, I just want to take a nice hot girl walk without bringing my Canada Goose along. With summer finally around the corner, I can do just that.


Now that we’re back to clear skies, a little sun protection is going to go a long way in making sure you’re soaking up the sun without a burn as a souvenir. You’ll need cute hats, sunscreen (with no white cast!), and, of course, sunglasses. Sunglasses are the most essential thing on my vacations. Whenever the sun gets to be a little too much, I just slip them on. They’re the reason I could successfully enjoy my beach reads without squinting the whole time. So, if you’re in need of some, I’ve got just the list of 12 pairs of stylish sunglasses that’ll keep you cute and protect your eyes this summer.

American eagle retro round sunglasses ($15)

Starting off with these adorable round sunglasses from AE. These are the perfect way to add a pop of color or a fun style to your fit.

The all-time classics. Whether it’s with their quality or style, aviators have never failed me. You can’t go wrong with a pair of these Ray Bans.

Is it just me, or do these feel very “office siren” core? Super chic, and the perfect addition to further elevate any outfit.
