As the summer season reaches its peak, sunglasses are essential not only as a fashion accessory but also as added protection from UV rays. From light, acetate iterations by mymkmy to retro styles from Oakley, I’ve rounded up a list of affordable designer eyewear options to add to your collection.

For those searching for a versatile and timeless style, look to mymymy‘s classic oval sunglasses or beige-colored design. Cat-eye shapes and transparent frames, from labels like Les Specs, are perfect for the hotter months. To channel ’90s nostalgia, you can also try Poppy Lissiman or BP’s rectangular and oval-shaped options. If you’re looking for a statement piece for your next at-home photoshoot, add Chimi and Illesteva’s micro frames to your wish list.
