While fashion trends may come and go, we find that stylish sunglasses are a true wardrobe staple we can always rely on. These particular frames are so versatile and minimalistic, making them a great accessory to have for the longterm. We love the chic and simple design of the frames. And they’re also compact enough to fit within a mini handbag, clutch, and more. See the full product details in our review of the Ray-Ban Classic Polarized Aviator Sunglasses.

Editor Quote: “These are the sunglasses that look good on everyone for every occasion. They’re polarized, so they actually protect from the sun, and they manage to be both sporty and polished. I wear them to work out, to run errands, to go out to eat, you name it, and they always look good. They’re never out of place, and plus, I’ve never met someone who looks bad in them. I see my Ray-Bans like a great T-shirt or a classic pair of jeans; I’m always going to have them in my life.” — India Yaffe, former associate editor, Commerce
