10 AMAZING Sunglasses Under $40

March 25, 2022

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!

  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!!

My Storage Hack for Organizing Christmas Decorations

Every year when I pack up the decorations after Christmas, I collect all of the garlands together in one box, I get all the candlesticks together in another box, and all my nativity sets go into their own box. We label the boxes "garlands," "candles," "nativity sets,"...which seems great until you remember that you have […]

What do you make for Christmas dinner? Sometimes we'll do a prime rib or a roast turkey, but this year, I'm going all out with a Christmas ham that just looks festive. For this recipe, I made a cranberry-orange glaze with some warm winter spices that takes this ham to the next level. Oh and […]
