Sunglasses under $100
I love sunglasses — in fact, I should really add them to my list of favorite things. Stylish, durable pairs that make me feel confident and fashionable are basically my criteria for choosing the next addition. Because I love sunglasses, I try to keep the cost to a reasonable amount per pair and have rounded up the best sunglasses under $100!
one: Le Specs Air Heart in Tortoise
I own this particular style in black (see number six) and love it! Who is a sucker for a cute pair of tortoise sunglasses (or glasses)? Me! I first saw them during the Summer 2018 Nordstrom Anniversary Sale and they have been on my radar ever since! The flat lens style of the frame is so flattering on everyone I’ve seen wear them.
two: Karen Walker Super Spaceship
Candidly, I just bought this pair (for under $100 from a retailer, although they retail for $315) and they’re already sold out nearly everywhere. I found them at a retailer that looks to have a great, flexible return policy, so although I have never purchased directly from them, they are still in stock through the link above (as of the publishing of this post). I love the flat look of the lenses (which it’s hard to tell that they are, unless you are up close). The color of the frames is gorgeous (tortoise — again!) and I love the glossy black lenses. They’re oversized, which is great for my large, round face (see below).
three: Le Specs Demo Mode Le Tough
I love the trendy brow bar look that this particular pair has going on. The lighter color of the lenses and frame make this pair a bit minimalist but so fantastic! I have never worn a pair like this on my own face shape, but have it on my list to try.
four: Ray Ban Icon Aviator
I had a pair of Ray Ban aviators for a few years and LOVE LOVE LOVED them! Wore them all the time. Unfortunately, they fell out of my purse at a baseball game a couple of summers ago and I have not replaced them in my collection yet. This pair has such a fun, rainbow mirrored lens, which is playful and perfect for summers and tropical vacations alike. This particular version makes me want to replace my lost pair much sooner!
five: Oversized Lovestruck Round High Tip Heart Shaped Mirror Lens Sunglasses
Think the title is a mouthful? It is. Trust me when I say, just click the link above and it will take you right to these hip specs! I have them on my list because I think they’d be a fun pair to wear to my bachelorette weekend in northern Minnesota. They come in five different frame/lens color combos and all are under $15. The pink is fun and whimsical, and I would definitely wear them to other events, too. They’re trendy, affordable, and most of all, unique. Added to my shopping list!
six: Le Specs Air Heart in Black
One of the pairs that’s usually on repeat for me is the Le Specs Air Heart in black. Classic, stylish, and unique, these frames are showstoppers. People always tell me that they make me look like a movie star. Most can’t believe it when I tell them that they’re well under $100! They look much more expensive — in fact, they’re similarly shaped to a pair of Prada sunglasses that I paid more than $350 for. Definitely invest in them — I’ve styled them with an outfit of neutrals (below), but you can really wear them with anything!
seven: Quay Australia x Desi Perkins High Key in Black/Smoke
Above, I talked about how I lost my beloved pair of Ray Ban aviators. I’d been pretty eager to replace aviators in my collection of sunglasses, because the shape is unique. I’m typically in oversized, cat eye sunglasses but aviators also have a special place in my heart. I saw a couple of people wearing the High Key sunglasses and I LOVED the way that the lenses fade from smoke to clear on the pair I bought. There are two sizes of this particular style — regular (62 mm) and mini (57 mm). I am in the regular (below) due to my face shape and size. Highly recommend as they’re super stylish, affordable, and come in multiple colors.
eight: Pro Acme Women’s Designer Inspired Double Circle Metal Wire Frame Oversized Round Sunglasses
Whew! The title of this one is really long, too! Have you seen those gorgeous Chloe Carlina round sunglasses? I have and I’ve been lusting over them. I can’t justify spending around $400 on them, but this pair is a pretty good dupe for a tiny, tiny fraction of the price. This version comes in four colors, so you can choose what suits your personality best. For the price, I’ll be adding these to my list so that I can grab them if I’m feeling sassy!
nine: grinderPUNCH women’s designer inspired oversized round circle sunglasses mod fashion
Do these look familiar to you? They look SO similar to number two on the list! That’s because they’re a near PERFECT dupe. I told you that I got number two for under $100 (retail is $315), but I got very, very lucky. Before I bought those, I tried these first because I couldn’t stomach handing that much money over. I was so pleased with the quality of these frames!
This version is more like a dupe for Karen Walker’s Super Duper Strength sunglasses (retail is $250 on that version) because that style does not have the flat lenses. This style is not comprised of flat lenses — like the Super Spaceship from number two. But, from the front (and in photos), they look incredibly similar to the expensive ones from earlier. See for yourself in this pic below!
Which are your favorites? I can’t wait to see what you get!
