To me, sunglasses are not unlike chapstick–you need a pair handy wherever you go! I like to have a pair in my car, Chris’s truck, my purse, my other purse… One thing I just bought from Amazon was this sunglasses clip for the visor in my car. So handy to have! I do have a pair of really expensive sunglasses that Chris bought me and they scare me to death. Really great quality, but they’re so nice that I don’t want to risk it. I love a pair under $40. I narrowed them all down to my top 10 favorites.

10 Favorite Sunglasses Under $40

1. Retro Narrow 2-pack $13 – Stop it with the price of these! I love this modern shape and the width is so so good. If you want to get in on the narrow, rectangle trend this is such a good way to do it. Very 90’s, but so incredibly wearable.
2. Angular Cat Eye $12 – Giving these the award for best Target find! Really cute, geometric cat eye.
3. Oversized Shield $14 – I didn’t know how I would feel about the shield glasses, but I can see myself wearing these a lot. If you want to tiptoe into the shield sunglasses, I think this is such a great place to start! Very high fashion.
4. Round Sunnies $15 Really light-weight and a good size if you want to try the round shape. The tortoise is a little bright in person, but it’s so delicate it doesn’t bother me.
5. Square Amber Tortoise $15 The most classic pair of sunglasses that look like they were $200 at least! The part that wraps around your ear is metal and it makes them feel really high end. I also love the lighter shade color.
6. Round Milky Tort $15 The metal nose piece makes it feel really extra and expensive! Also love the round shape with a little bit of a cat eye lift.
7. Oversized Square $16 Have had these forever. They were probably my first Amazon pair of sunglasses and all my friends now have a pair too.
8. Luna Aviator $25 These are my favorite of the bunch and what I’m wearing in the photo above!!! I would wear these every day–the mixed finishes, the shape… I feel really cool wearing them.
9. Idol Oversized Square $25 These are so fashion forward and eye-catching! Great shape, and the beige detailing makes these pop.
10. Olive Polarized $40 I am so obsessed with these. You are gonna get compliments on them just because they’re so unique!

    Love these! I have light colored eyes so I need sunglasses any time I’m outside. I have at least 20 pairs and this organizer is a total game changer in my closet — so simple, holds a ton safely, fits anywhere. I give them as gifts and people rave. https://www.amazon.com/RZMAYIS-Sunglasses-Organizer-Organiser-Dark-Grey/dp/B07SLVKC6T/ref=sr_1_13?crid=2Z25M6SPTGFSW&keywords=sunglass%2Bholder&qid=1648309998&sprefix=Sunglass%2Caps%2C82&sr=8-13&th=1

    Ack! I see at least three pairs I’m going to get. I think subglasses are a must to avoid squinting all over town >.<
    Could you recommend some chic cases you like as well?
    Have a great weekend!!

A reader recently asked me if I’m starting to fully embrace traditional style and whether we still consider our house to be a “modern Colonial” and why. It was a really great question and so timely — I had really just been thinking about my approach to this home and how my style has changed […]
