Sunglasses

Everett

Original Wayfarer Black / G-15 XLT

Sally recently misplaced her aviators (thank you, spring training trip to Scottsdale) and is in need of some new shades.  Never one to spend too much skrilla on something that nieces and nephews like to grab, try on and, occasionally, step on, she's researching some lower-cost options.  Plus, let's be honest, sunglasses don't always end up perfectly set in their case after each use (!).  Banana Republic glasses aren't outrageously expensive and tend to be stylish, TOMS and Warby Parker shades are awesome because of the one-for-one business models and there's something to be said for the classic Ray-Bay Wayfarers.  Decisions, decisions!  Which would you pick?  Any favorite brands she's missing out on?

Side note:  Did you know that most sunglasses are made by the same company?  Quite often, it seems that the only difference across sunglasses is the price tag!

    1. Thanks for weighing in, Kate! Little nervous about ordering online but perhaps I can find them at Nordstrom. Happy Monday to you : )

  2. I love my Ray Ban wayfarers. I got them at the Bloomingdale's in Union Square. They even let me use a % off coupon! Granted it was a few years ago so they might be more restrictive on the discounts now. Happy shades shopping!

    1. Thanks for the input! The Ray Ban Wayfarers really won't go out of style so we know they'll be a good purchase - just need to make sure they work with Sally's face shape :)
