Stylish yet practical sunglasses are undeniably one of the most important accessories to own. With so many places to store them–and, honestly, lose them–you can’t have too many backup pairs. Consider refreshing your eyewear collection this summer with new frames from your favourite brands, like Louis Vuitton and Saint Laurent, for an easy way to elevate your look and, more importantly, protect your eyes from UV radiation.
Sunglasses are right up there with sunscreen and are especially critical to wear year-round if you live in sun-soaked regions, where irritating conditions, like surfer’s eye, are common. If splurging on a pair of chic quality lenses will make you more inclined to consistently wear them outdoors, then it’s a solid investment in your health with the added bonus of elevated personal style.
Ahead, we break down the best new eyewear collections to shop ahead of summer 2023 that will keep you looking collected and feeling protected all season.
Chloé
