Stylish Summer Sunglasses That Don’t Cost an Entire Paycheck

Let’s face it, sunglasses are the mother of all graveyard accessories. Whether drunkenly left at a bar, snatched by an ocean wave or smashed by haphazardness, the number of sunglasses we’ve loved and lost throughout the years has hit a depressing number. What makes it worse? When you drop $300 on a pair of shades doomed by default. So make this the summer you don’t deeply regret forgetting them on the hotel lobby front desk upon checking out (because vacation ending is sad enough). Here are eight stylish pairs of sunglasses that cost less than $100.
