PSA: Amazon Is a Treasure Trove of Trendy Sunglasses
We’ve all been there: We’ve spent way too much money on a trendy pair of sunglasses, only to have them end up broken—or at the bottom of a lake or ocean somewhere. Even those we do manage to hold onto leave us with major buyer’s remorse because they only last a season or two. Given this, it’s little wonder so many of us have made the switch to cheap-but-still-cute sunnies. The only issue? They’re surprisingly hard to find. But after some extensive internet-searching, we’ve finally hit the jackpot for trendy and cheap summer sunglasses: Amazon.
Amazon may not be the first place you’d turn for fashionable finds. But the website is a one-stop-shop for all kinds of cute summer accessories. Chic pieces are surprisingly abundant. We’re talking trendy hats, fun jewelry, bold hair accessories, and—you guessed it—really, really cute sunglasses. Amazon has especially mastered some of the retro-inspired looks that are trending this summer, and there are even a few designer dupes hiding out on the site. (Also, free 2-day shipping!? It doesn’t get much better than that.)
What’s nice? Cool sunglasses are an easy way to transform any basic outfit. Simply pop on a trendy pair of specs, and your look goes from boring to fashion-forward in a split second. You might expect an upgrade like this to come at a luxury price point, but thanks to Amazon, you can score it for $25 (or less!). While we can surely all agree that summer is going to be a little different this time around, protective eyewear is still a warm-weather essential—and cute accessories are necessary in their own right. Just take advantage of the internet’s budget-friendliest options. An accessory can be cute and outfit-transforming without breaking the bank!
