Stop Stressing Over Lost Sunglasses. Order Cheaper Ones

Huckberry's in-house eyewear line features hardy frames matched with scratch-resistant, polarized lenses. At under $40 dollars, they're well worth it for whenever you want to put a pair through the wringer — without the guilt of getting a nicer pair grimy. This option from Huckberry comes in eight color options and is lightweight, but uses hardy construction, for a pair of shades that can take a bruising. They also feature polarized lenses to help reduce eye strain and glare.

This is a classic look done at a fraction of the cost of more popular brands' designs. Put 'em on and envision it: '50s, jazz clubs (hence the Ray-Ban's Clubmaster). Made from metal, these are polarized and feature soft, adjustable silicone nose pads. Sojos uses composite polarized lenses to block out harmful UVA and UVB rays. These shades also come in six color options that each have polarized lenses and added nose pads for comfort.

Quay's Jackpot has all the makings of a classic frame. The key-shaped nose, round-shaped and polarized lenses, are design codes for the brand. The Jackpot sunglasses frame silhouette is made with plastic and incorporates polarized lenses for a pair of sophisticated sunglasses that protect your eyes. This frame style comes in three color options that should suit your sun-blocking fancy.

Le Specs became a star in the sunglasses business thanks to celebrities like Beyoncé, Rihanna, Zayn Malik, and Justin Bieber sporting the brand's shades in past years. You can get in on the action with this pair, which has round-shaped lenses and skinny arms for shades that feel modern but vintage simultaneously. The lenses are polarized as well.

This is another one of Huckberry's in-house products. The Weekenders, a sibling of the Cruiser, have a different shape, with a more rectangular frame and bigger lenses. They come in the same array of colors, though. This option employs heavy-duty plastic for the frame and features scratch-resistant polarized lenses that help reduce glare and enhance colors. The lenses are also 100% UVA and UVB resistant.

Blenders' bold orange sunglasses, dubbed Amber Coast, pass for a far more expensive pair. They're colorful, compact and comfortable. This bold option from Blenders also uses polarized lenses to reduce glare and filter bright lights, and the frame is also made with plastic. These shades also provide 100% UV protection, which means that you'll have the utmost protection from sun rays that can harm your eyes or the skin around them.

Sometimes when a cheap pair tries super hard to appear expensive, it only looks cheaper. This isn't the case with AJ Morgan's simple sunglasses. They're sleek, shiny and the right shape. This pair of square-shaped shades use plastic for the frame and gradient lenses for a stylish touch. The skim arms on the frame give them a modern yet vintage edge that's in accordance with current fashion trends.

Metal elements and black acetate elevate the Highland square sunglasses, making them a strong contender in the cheap sunglasses conversation. For $20, this pair of frames feels modern yet sophisticated—everything you should want in shades. They're made out of plastic and have little metal accents to break up the monotony of the all-black frames and lenses. Also, they have tinted uv-blocking lenses. And the notched nose bridge should help them stay put on your face.

It's easy to be let down by budget buys off Amazon. (There are almost too many options.) Carfia's, on the other hand, are unexpectedly nice for their price. Typically, sub$-25 dollar sunglasses don't make it through a week-long vacation, but these, which are made from corrosion-resistant acetate, withstand the usual wear and then some. Carifa's polarized sunglasses block out 99% of UV rays and are UV 400 protected—which means these shades block out light at the top of UV spectrum, i.e. blue light.

Goodr makes sunglasses for specific sports — biking, running, golf, lifting and, yes, gaming — but also basic pairs for everyday wear. The Back 9 Blackout is designed for the green, but it's plenty practical elsewhere. These shades come in three sizes depending on your noggin size (small, medium, and large), and encompass a grip-coated frame. Also, the lenses have UV 400 protection and block 100% of UVA and UVB rays.

Knockaround makes a number of cheap frames based on iconic designs: sub-$40 dollar aviators, Ray-Ban-looking riffs for $24 bucks and beyond. The Paso Robles frame, featured here with a tortoise shell print and black lenses, exudes confidence and refinement. The lenses are UV400 protected and they're polarized. Also, the lenses are impact resistant, meaning, that they'll be able to withstand drops and bumps without the lenses shattering.

For those who fancy the sleekness of aviator shades, J+S offers a versatile option. The military-style aviators have a lightweight metal alloy frame and black polarized lenses that have a 400UV rating—which means that the shades can block up to 99% of UVA and UVB rays (and that's all for $19). These shades come in 18 lenses/frames color options and the polarized lenses block 99% of glare.
