The sun is out, and the weather is getting warmer, so it’s time to find the perfect pair of sunnies. Shopping for sunglasses can be stressful. There are thousands to choose from, and I hate having to ask the lady behind the counter to show me the 300th pair that I’m still not sold on.
To help streamline your choices, we’re counting down the top five styles that you’ll see every mom rocking (or wish they were)! We’re talking the real (designer) and steal (the look for less) so that whatever your budget, you can find a style that’s perfect for you.
5. The Granny
Remember those glasses your grandmother used to rock? They’re back and even better than before. I’m pretty sure I thought these glasses were ridiculous when I first saw my Grandma rocking them twenty years ago. Fendi, however, has brought back these popular oversized spectacles, and now I’m longing for a pair of my own. I love the ombre ones and am thinking maybe Grandma had it right all along?

4. The Classic Cat-Eye
Who doesn’t love a good cat-eye pair of sunglasses? Purrrrfect (yes, I did that) for almost all face shapes, it’s easy to see why these have been in style for years. While Audrey Hepburn popularized them in Breakfast at Tiffany’s, designers like Valentino have taken them one step further. Chains, stripes, and even embellishments have upped the cat-eye game, and I’m here for it, ladies. No matter which kind you choose, they are a definite staple for one’s summer wardrobe.

3. Square Frames
Square frames can come in a ton of fun colors. I love that most of them flare upwards on each side, complementing all face shapes and sizes!

2. Same Aviator, Different Shape
While aviators have been around for quite some time, new shapes are rocking this tried-and-true summer look! Ray-Ban debuted their “Hexagonal Flat Lenses,” and they come in 8 different colors (I myself am loving the gold with the lilac mirror look).

1. The Statement Pair
You know the ones I’m talking about. The ones that seem so extreme and so outrageous that you have to ask where they’re from? They are making a big statement this summer, and you’ll want to be the first to show them off.

These glasses don’t help to block out the sound of your children repeatedly asking for snacks and what’s for dinner, but they will, however, block out the sun, and with these top five trends, you can rest assured that you will look great doing so.
