As a stylist, a versatile pair of shades is at the top of my must-haves list. They’re a small but mighty staple that blends function with fashion and a rare closet unicorn that can be worn year-round. But every year, summer creeping up makes me feel the need to start compiling a list of new sunnies worth adding to my collection.

I’m always on the hunt for sunglasses that can make a statement—the red sunglasses I picked up last summer ended up being a closet hero—and over the years, I’ve learned that you don’t need to shell out a ton of cash for a quality pair. The right pair of shades have the ability to pull a look together in ways that no other accessory can, and if I can score them for under $50, well—in girl math, that sounds like finding the solution to all of my wardrobe woes for less than the price of my next dinner out.
