Le Specs Hey Macarena Polarized Sunglasses ($35, originally $69)

These Le Specs polarized sunglasses will pair well with any warm-weather outfit. Normally, you have to pay a premium for polarized sunglasses, but these are under $80 and so cute. Plus, they come with a soft case, so you can keep your lenses protected. If you're looking for a pair of trending women's sunglasses, these are them.

I-SEA Rosey Polarized Sunglasses ($58)

Cat-eye sunglasses are an enduring trend because they are so flattering on every face shape — and these I-SEA sunglasses from Anthropologie are no exception. The narrow-shaped, polarized-lensed frames come in various shades from Chocolate (pictured) to basic black.

They're also part of Anthropologie's partnership with Kimpton Hotels & Restaurants, where curated fashion items are available for guests to borrow — free of charge — at participating U.S. hotels starting August 1. It's the perfect solution if you forget your shades or want extra room in your luggage.

Le Specs Unreal Sunglasses ($76)

We love the look of these chic square sunglasses from Le Specs. These popular sunglasses for women are sleek, modern, and ultra-trendy. Plus, these are great frames to try if you want to hop on the small sunglasses trend. They're super-easy to style, too.

Szade Cave Polarized Sunglasses ($81, originally $90)

For a pair of sunglasses that you can feel truly good about wearing, opt for these sustainable shades from Szade. The brand has become a favorite among millennials and Gen Z, as all of its frames are made from recycled pairs of sunglasses. Szade is on a mission to promote more circularity in the fashion industry by producing styles — like these polarized sunglasses — that are equal parts sustainable and chic. Read our review of these Szade Recycled Sunglasses to learn more.

Editor Quote: "I love that these sunglasses not only look good when on (trust me, I get compliments almost every time I wear them), but they're also a pair I can feel really good about wearing because of their circular design. Oftentimes when shopping out sustainable fashion pieces, I feel like I have to sacrifice something; if they're really cute, there's a great chance that they actually aren't that eco-friendly. Alternatively, I've found that some of the most sustainable accessories are often the most expensive and certainly don't feel like a pair you might mistake for a designer style. But these Szade sunglasses have proven to be the exception." - Kyley Warren, assistant editor, Commerce

Ray-Ban Kids Polished Transparent Pink Sunglasses ($82, originally $102)

Princess Charlotte certainly made a style statement in her viral pink sunglasses alongside mom Kate Middleton at the Wimbledon Men's Singles Final. The Ray-Ban shades boast clear gradient, red mirror lenses and complementary pink transparent arms. To get Charlotte's look in the adult version, check out the Ray-Ban Mega Wayfarer Sunglasses in Polished Transparent Pink ($216).

Quay Narrow Down Sunglasses ($95)

A pair of stylish white sunglasses are a wardrobe staple for the warmer seasons. They pair perfectly with summer dresses, swimwear, or even just the standard jeans and a tee. This one from Quay has a cat eye shape that delivers a lifted look that's sophisticated and timeless. You can check out our other favorites from Quay here.

Editor Quote: "Though I always wanted to incorporate a pair of white sunglasses into my wardrobe, I was nervous that I'd never find the right style. White sunglasses always stand out, so if they don't flatter your face shape, it's an immediate eye sore. These shades quieted my fears immediately. The boxy cat-eye style is a natural fit, and the built-in nose pads mean the sunglasses felt comfortable, too. I can't wait to style these with printed spring dresses or solid bright tops for a cool contrast this season." — Jessica Andrews, senior content director, commerce

Quay Locals Only ($75)

If you want to try something bold yet effortless, opt for these editor-backed aviator sunglasses. With their unique geometric frame shape, these sunglasses will never go out of style. The classic aviators have a wired brow bar for a more vintage look. Want to explore other styles from the brand? We tested out several picks in our review of Quay's sunglasses.

Editor Quote: "Historically speaking, my face shape is not right for an aviator, mostly because of the awkward placement of the bar above my brows. (I usually prefer to see a hint of my brows above my glasses.) However, this pair has a slightly lower metal bridge, and I really love the intrigue of the hexagonal base. The polarized lenses have a neat tint, and I specifically love these aviators because of the brushed gold finish, which complements all of my go-to jewelry. My boyfriend and I love to share sunglasses, particularly those of the gold variation because we're both gold jewelry people, and these look great on both of us!" — Sarah Wasilak, associate content director, Commerce

Yesglasses Polarized Aviator Sunglasses ($138)

If you want to try a totally new style of shades, opt for these polarized sunglasses. These trending women's sunglasses are lightweight and comfortable, and they'll amp up any outfit. Read our review of the Yesglasses Polarized Aviator Sunglasses for more.

Editor Quote: "The lightweight sunnies are super comfortable, and they have a retro look about them that I like. I love their tortoise frame, and the brown lens color makes me feel like I'm living in an Old Hollywood Western film. The frames are scratch-resistant (which comes at a premium with other brands), and their case comes with a cleaning cloth for the times your lenses get dirty." — Haley Lyndes, former assistant editor, Commerce

Ray-Ban Aviator Classic Sunglasses ($184, originally $230)

If you're looking for a pair of shades that you'll have forever, we found just the perfect accessory. These classic aviator frames are definitely one of the most popular sunglasses for women. They're stylish, chic, and timeless. Read our review of the Ray-Ban Aviator Classic Sunglasses for more.

Editor Quote: "These are the sunglasses that look good on everyone for every occasion. They're polarized, so they actually protect from the sun, and they manage to be both sporty and polished. I wear them to work out, to run errands, to go out to eat, you name it, and they always look good." — India Yaffe, former associate editor, Commerce

Ray-Ban Stories Wayfarer Smart Glasses ($300)

If you're in the market for a quality pair of trending women's sunglasses, we've found that few accessories have proven to be cooler (or more practical) than these smart sunglasses. Ray-Ban's classic Wayfarer frames have been reimagined through more of a tech-focused lens, and this particular style comes equipped with open-ear speakers, three microphones, touch control capabilities, and even a built-in Dual 5MP camera — allowing users to snap photos straight from their sunglasses. Check out our Ray-Ban Stories Smart Glasses review to learn more.

Editor Quote: "If you're someone who loves multitasking and appreciates tools that help you to better streamline your life, then you can't go wrong owning a pair of the Ray-Ban Stories frames. Similar to a classic smartwatch or smartphone, the device allows users to easily snap pictures and videos while they're on the go (and wearing the glasses!), switch between listening to music or taking a call, and even use the advanced tech's voice-control capabilities." - Kyley Warren, assistant editor, Commerce
