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

Szade Cave Polarized Sunglasses ($54, originally $90)

For a pair of sunglasses that you can feel truly good about wearing, opt for these sustainable shades from Szade.

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

Quay Locals Only ($85)

If you want to try something bold yet effortless, opt for these editor-backed aviator sunglasses. With its 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

Warby Parker Beale Sunglasses ($95)
