Truthfully, I have always had a hard time justifying spending more than $50 on a pair of sunglasses. No matter what situation I'm in, they're inevitably thrown into a purse, tucked into a shirt, or used as a makeshift headband. It's even more rare that I'd even remember to grab them, along with my headphones and my phone, on the way out the door. But if all those things were combined into one — enter Meta glasses — I think it would be that much more of a game-changer that I would make the splurge.
Since launch, Meta has curated a robust collection (including over 25 options) of AI glasses, including traditional shades to transitional frames. From capturing content on the go, listening to music, or even answering phone calls, the functions go above and beyond your typical pair of sunnies. Available in timeless shapes like the Wayfarer or Clubmaster, to celebrity collaborations such as the Kylie Jenner-approved Starfire, the high tech is designed to seamlessly fit into your wardrobe and digital routine. Ahead, I did the hard work for you and gathered the top 10 styles from Meta. Whether you want a trendy silhouette or something that veers more classic, there is something to fit your personal routine.

Meta Nova [11] ($299)
If you prefer a super-round frame, the Nova is for you. While there are seven different variations to choose from, I particularly love this sandstone shade with chocolate brown lenses. It has a vintage feel while secretly being one of the most modern pieces of wearable tech.
Meta Capri [12] ($299)
One of my all-time favorite shapes is a chunky cat-eye. No matter what outfit I have on or what event I'm going to, they instantly make me feel put together. This tortoiseshell design perfectly hides two 3K-resolution cameras on either side to capture content any time or anywhere.
Ray-Ban Meta Burbank [13] ($349)
Want to ditch the camera feature? Meta transformed one of Ray-Ban's most memorable frames with 12 hours of audio power to listen to music, take calls, and even make language translations in real time. It's safe to say these are without a doubt the most decked-out everyday glasses on the market.
Ray-Ban Meta Headliner (Gen 2) [14] ($379)
These may look like your average sunnies, but simply say, "Hey Meta, take a photo!" and these lenses will capture whatever is in front of you. Access the photos on the Meta AI app or your camera roll for seamless hands-free sharing.
Meta Starfire Kylie Edition [15] ($399)
Meta tapped none other than Kylie Jenner to design these trendy frames. Available in four color variations, the slim oval shape creates the perfect cool-girl glasses that feel chic and sophisticated year-round. Learn more about the versatile glasses in my Starfire Kylie Edition Glasses review [16].
Editor Quote: "I usually have a hard time finding sunglasses that fit my wide head, but to my surprise these felt super comfortable and flattering. Opting for the brown tortoise shade made the frames complement my brown hair seamlessly and added a bit of warmth to my daily look. They have quickly became my go-to accessory on morning walks and afternoon errands to listen to music and take calls while on the go." — Adelaide Giesey, shopping writer
Ray-Ban Meta Clubmaster [17] ($429)
Upgrade your prescription glasses with the Meta AI audio capabilities hidden inside this classic style. To maximize versatility, opt for transition ruby lenses to effortlessly go from the boardroom to the beach.
Ray-Ban Meta Zena (Gen 3) [18] ($449)
If you're a fan of designer sunglasses, the Zena is without a doubt one of the most fashion-forward offerings from Meta. The thick black frames resemble viral designer styles and perfectly hide the cameras and buttons for a monochromatic finish.
Oakley Meta HSTN [19] ($449)
Not all sunglasses are created equal, especially when you're an athlete. That's why Meta partnered with Oakley to offer sport-friendly options. Whether you're snowboarding or going for a run, now you can pair your glasses with fitness apps like Garmin or Strava to track your workouts in real time.
Ray-Ban Meta Wayfarer (Gen 3) [20] ($449)
What if I told you the Wayfarer was the number one bestselling Meta glasses style? Not only are they one of Ray-Ban's most iconic frames, but they have the most features and up-to-date Meta AI tech, such as 32GB of storage and up to nine hours of battery life. Just remember to tuck them into their case between uses to charge.
Ray-Ban Meta Aviator (Gen 3) [21] ($529)
There is arguably nothing more timeless than a pair of aviators, and these Ray-Ban frames are no exception. From the exaggerated curved lens to the thick nose bridge, you can channel your inner high-tech "Top Gun" with this tricked-out model.
