These Cult-Fave Sunnies Are The Vacation Essential Your Suitcase Needs

A good pair of sunglasses is all but essential in a world that’s constantly on the go, but a great pair of sunnies packs hefty UV protection into stylish frames you’ll genuinely look forward to wearing every day. No need to go designer, either — Blenders Eyewear specializes in affordable shades that offer similar features found in pricier brands, in on-trend designs beloved by celebs and fashion insiders alike. Now the sunny San Diego label just quietly dropped four new styles that you’ll want to snap up for spring before the rest of the fashion girlies get their hands on them.

The Cali Sunglasses Celebs Can’t Get Enough Of

With a surfer-inspired origin story, Blenders Eyewear rapidly gained a following with the online fashion set, with everyone from Snoop Dogg to Meghan Markle being spotted in a pair. And Olympic snowboarder Jessika Jensen routinely rocks styles from the brand’s Snow collection. Blenders designs are made to stand out in a fun and playful way, featuring bright colors and modern shapes with a classic edge that’s both ultra-wearable and ultra-cool. But they’re more than just aesthetic pieces: They also pack all the practical details you need. The lenses are engineered for optimal durability and scratch-resistance, with the 100% UVA/UVB protection you’d expect and polarized options that fans praise for virtually eliminating glare.

Shop The Drop

These four new designs might be the chicest yet, with oversize frames and modern shapes in iconic colorways you won’t find at the mall. Each pair is optimized to deliver total protection against UV rays and reflected light — and they all cost less than $100, so you can pick up a pair and a spare without breaking the bank.

1. Butterfly-Inspired Aviators With Angular Frames

Rugged aviators get a sophisticated update in the Monarch sunglasses, with their sharp angular frames that give the classic style a luxe edge. Their ultra-clear PureBlend lenses are polarized to reduce glare and offer exceptionally durable scratch-resistance — and it goes without saying they provide 100% UVA/UVB protection, too.

2. Oversize Cat-Eye Sunnies In Glam Hues

Soft edges temper the glamour of the oversize Isla sunglasses with everyday appeal, for a pair you could comfortably throw on with sweatpants or jeans and not feel mismatched. Their PureBlend lenses deliver 100% UVA/UVB protection and are polarized to reduce glare — choose from a flashy mirrored finish for a modern look or subtle gradients to keep things classic.

• Available colors: 4

3. Sleek, Sharp Frames That Look Designer

The Rikki sunglasses are giving major It-Girl energy, with sharp dramatic wings sweeping up from the temples for a modern silhouette that looks deceptively expensive. Polarized PureBlend lenses reduce glare while providing 100% UVA/UVB protection, all set in a featherweight frame with built-in nose pads. See more colors here.

4. Futuristic Shades Made To Stand Out

In candy-coated hues with a flashy, shield-like cat-eye frame, the Rimini sunglasses were practically made for beach parties and outdoor concerts. Their bold single-lens design offers the same exceptional scratch-resistance and polarized clarity with 100% UVA/UVB protection, so you’ll never miss a moment.
