Summertime is right around the corner and that means lots of sunshine and heat. And it is actually really important to protect the skin around your eyes because that is the most sensitive part of skin on your face. So, sunglasses are the perfect thing to use as a protection for the skin around your eyes, and your eyes themselves. Before I go searching, I have compiled a list of a few things I am looking for.
-cheap price
-multiple different styles to choose from
-polarized lenses
For those of you who don't know, polarized lenses are less easy to get scratched which is better is you want your sunglasses to look better for longer and last longer. So lets get searching!
DIFF Charitable Eyewear:
My first stop is DIFF Charitable Eyewear. I like how on their blog it is easy to navigate and the message is very clear. Their prices are lower than other companies but with still a higher end look. And a plus, they have a donation program of buy one give one. Where they donate one pair of reading glasses for every pair of sunglasses bought. They have six different styles, but they have such a wide variety of each style with different options of color lenses and frames. And all their sunglasses are polarized! You have most likely seen these sunglasses being promoted by contestants that were on the bachelor on Instagram.

QUAY Australia:
When I looked at the QUAY website it looked very high end. They do have free shipping although it is only for purchases over $75. I found it interesting that they have a sizing chart for different sizes of sunglasses. They have sizes classic, large, and mega. There is a humongous range of 91 different sunglasses styles. The prices can be ranging from $45-$65. There is no mention of polarized lenses. There are sometimes collaborations of sunglasses with internet stars. You have most likely seen these sunglasses on Instagram worn by YouTubers or by celebrities such as Kylie Jenner.

Sunski Sunglasses:
Sunski has a similar website format as DIFF Eyewear. There are nine different styles, but again like DIFF Eyewear, there are multiple different lens and frame colors. The prices are also cheap like
DIFF Eyewear. Along with sunglasses they do sell t-shirts. Their lenses are also polarized! I learned about Sunski through my mom and own a pair of my own. They are great, and would highly recommend. This image below is from the Sunski blog.

Nectar:
This is a brand that has other items than just sunglasses, but has a very large collection of polarized and UV 400 sunglasses. Their polarized lenses are said to be more protective than other lenses and if you are wondering, UV 400 blocks all harmful UV rays. There is much more of a limited collection of UV 400 sunglasses than polarized. Nectar's mission is to educate people about bees and save them. So a portion of every order goes to the bee cause. I found about these sunglasses from my sailing instructor who was wearing them. This picture below is from their Instagram.

Illesteva:
Same things as Nectar, sunglasses aren't the only thing they sell. They have a selection of 163 different kinds of sunglasses, although it is extremely expensive. Their products are made in Italy, and like QUAY Auatralia, they have collaborations with others but with places like J. Crew, Jennifer Fisher, and others. There is no mention of any polarized lenses. The picture below is from one of their lookbooks.
