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.

Although the Swedish brand Axel Arigato has made a name for itself with its statement designs fused with practical details, its newest addition to the runner series is a low-key and minimalist shoe that still makes a stunning impression. Following in the footsteps of their ‘Slow-Runner’ and ‘Tact Runner’ releases, the new Daze Runner is pared down and offers a more versatile style to users. Despite its clean silhouette, the latest sneaker still features all the premium materials and construction of previous releases. A sophisticated and slim shoe, the Daze Runner follows in the footsteps of other subdued sneakers, such as the Sambas or Gazelles, known for their compact structure.
