Recommended by Forbes Vetted fashion writer Micaela English, this pair strikes the right balance between vintage-inspired and modern, with softly sculpted acetate that instantly elevates your look. The rounded silhouette is flattering and makes these feel more approachable than sharper, angular styles.

I’ve tested these Quay sunglasses extensively and continue to reach for them more than pairs that cost several times as much. The cat-eye design looks great on all face shapes without overwhelming those with smaller features, while the lightweight frame stays comfortable through hours of wear.

There’s a reason Oliver Peoples has such a loyal following among eyewear enthusiasts. Deputy editor Jane Sung has owned a couple pairs from the brand over the last decade and continues to reach for them because of their comfortable fit and impressive durability (lenses are made of terra polarized crystal). This particular style is made in Japan and comes in four classic colors.

Monos may be best known for luggage, but its first eyewear collection is equally well-designed. Crafted from Mazzucchelli cellulose acetate and an integrated metal wire core within each temple, the Portico Square Wayfarer has the structure of a square design without being oversized or bulky. Plus, the wayfarer look is easy to throw on with almost anything, whether you’re dressed casually or heading to dinner.

Rather than relying on oversized proportions or bold details, this pair stands out for its simplicity. The slim oval metal frame provides a clean, minimalist look that goes just as easily with tailored outfits as it does with jeans and a T-shirt. These sunglasses also stay put on your face throughout the day, so I rarely find myself adjusting them.

Sung has owned this exact pair for years and still wears it regularly, a testament to both its quality and timeless design. The cat-eye silhouette with a rounded bottom is flattering on different face shapes and the premium acetate construction gives the frames noticeable weight and quality. It’s the kind of craftsmanship that makes luxury eyewear feel like a worthwhile purchase.

The Diff Hana combines glare-reducing polarized lenses with a sleek design that works just as well in the city as it does on vacation. After wearing them firsthand, I found the lightweight frame comfortable enough to keep on for hours. The comfort and versatility makes this pair one of the easiest to wear every day.

The first thing you’ll notice about these sunglasses is the ingenious folding design, which collapses into an impressively compact size so it takes up far less room in a bag than traditional frames. Despite this flexible aspect, these sunglasses feel every bit as sturdy and comfortable as traditional sunglasses—meaning, the foldability never comes at the expense of wearability. If you have a lower nose bridge and often struggle with sunglasses touching your cheeks, this pair also has a very comfortable fit.

Forbes Vetted updates writer Claire Epting recommends these sunglasses for shoppers who want an elevated look without spending much. The clean, classic silhouette resembles designer styles at a fraction of the cost, and the lightweight design makes them comfortable enough to wear all day. They’re a great backup pair to keep in your tote or car.

One of this year’s standout eyewear launches, The Voyager earned a top spot in our guide to the best spring eyewear launches and embodies Matteau’s refined aesthetic. The clean lines and subtle proportions are effortlessly chic, and this pair is easy to style with everything from swimwear to linen separates. It’s a smart choice if your wardrobe leans classic rather than trend-driven.

Warby Parker has built its reputation on stylish prescription eyewear that doesn’t cost a fortune—and the Haskell is a perfect example for prescription sunglasses. It gives a fresh interpretation of the traditional wayfarer with slightly softer lines that flatter a variety of face shapes. The polycarbonate lenses are the most impact-resistant material for glasses, and even though each pair comes with scratch-resistant coating, the brand guarantees free lens replacement within six months of purchase.

Another top pick in our spring eyewear launches, Khaite’s minimalist design meets Oliver Peoples’ high-quality construction in this chic collab. These sunglasses are higher end, but the corewire, inspired by signature Empire hardware (and dual pins for enhanced flexibility), makes them the kind of pair you’ll still be wearing years from now. The ’70s-inspired frame adds a vintage touch without feeling overly retro.

Handcrafted in Germany, this featherlight frame is so comfortable that you’ll forget you’re wearing it, even after hours outdoors. Another plus: There are many colors to choose from, including colorful green and burgundy to more neutral options.
