Szade Cave Polarized Sunglasses ($63, 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
