Adventuring is tough stuff, so there is no point in splurging on expensive sunnies that are likely to get scratched, broken or lost. These Knockarounds are made for just that, being knocked around. Simple polardized sunglasses that cost $20. Meaning you can throw 'em off your face whenever the moment calls for it without feeling the need to carefully put them in a case to make sure nothing happens to them.

Shades are a crucial part of any beach look. These Fletchers from Warby Parker are a modern take on a more classic silhouette. These go perfectly with the Gnar Gnars we posted yesterday, and are the quintessential hater blockers.

Warby Parker Abe Sunglasses

via WarbyParker.com

While we are praying that there are no more snow-filled nor'easters left in the forecast, we are looking forward to the sun, hoping to get some good use out of a new pair of sunnies. These Abe Sunglasses from the Warbs (Warby Parker) are a cool new take on the aviators of the past. The increased angles provide a round face with some line definition, while the wider frame stance gives a thinner face a little bit of drama. These are the quintessential behind-the-wheel shades that transfer to perfect rooftop eye candy wrappers all too well.

Warby Parker Topper Sunglasses

via WarbyParker.com

They aren't referred to stunna' shades for no reason! (#doubenegative) Picking out sunglasses is an art, an art that rests on your face. Sunglasses are one of the most functional accessories you'll have in your arsenal. A good pair of shades can hide your identity like a good fake mustache, or make you stand out in a crowd like a bright bro tank. These specs are more of the latter, but with much less bro-ness. The Topper sunglasses from Warby Parker would make a great addition to any guy's accessory collection. The rounded top and flatter bottom of the lenses give these a unique shape that fit most medium-sized faces, and the keyhole notching gives them some added character. We like the faded frames because it makes them even more unique, and gives them a softer appearance against your cheek bones. In this case, subtlety=refinement.

Available on WarbyParker.com for $95 or $175 for prescription lenses.

Warby Parker Ellison Sunglasses

via Warbyparker.com

This new tint on the horn-rimmed style glasses of yesteryear is an instant classic, regardless of when they came out. The style is inspired from the 50s/60's era glasses bringing back the best parts and updating the style as a whole. With a modern tortoiseshell patterned acetate brow and arms and steel rim under the lenses, these stunna' shades are super light weight and go with a casual dress code on the weekends and more formal office attire when you step out for lunch on a bright summer afternoon. These aren't your party shades, these are your "I'm sophisticated and I know it" type of shades. These are you work happy hour outside hater blockers or first bumble date to a beer garden kind of sunglasses. Make an impression while keeping those eye protected (they are polarized). We suggest wearing these with anything blue, brown, or earth-toned, avoid wearing with black.

Warby Parker's Haskell Sun Glasses

Has the sun been in your eyes the past few weekends? Do you have a more narrow face? Do you want to be a little bold? Then these Warby Parkers are for you. The Haskell's have thin arms, meaning the face they're on should also be a bit slim. The clear frames and the electric green lenses make these sunnies hard to miss. So if you are looking to stand out among the sea of ray bans this outdoor beer drinking season, these would be a pretty radical option to get you noticed at the local beer garden, rooftop, or bar patio.

Norton Point Charlie 014

What's better than looking really good in the sun? Looking really good, while helping clean up the world's oceans. That's exactly what you can do when you buy yourself a pair of these shades. Each pair of these glasses is made from plant based acetate and recycled plastic collected from oceans around the world. The lenses are polarized and layered with an anti-reflective coating meaning they will protect your eyes from sunlight and glare. And even the case is made from upcycled wetsuit material. Do yourself and our ocean's a favor and grab a pair of these.

Warby Parker Haskell Sunglasses

As you may have noticed, we are a big fan of WP. For the price, it's hard to find glasses and shades that are made to the quality Warby Parker offers. These Haskell's come in a few different color patterns, but we like these two-toned blue ones best. Designed with a more round lens and a keyhole notch at the nose, these are made for a gent with a longer face and a guy willing to make a statement when the sun is out. The lenses provide 100% UV protection and are layered with a scratch resistant coating, allowing you to wear them the way you want, without having to carry a case around in your pocket or bag.

These are a steal on WarbyParker.com for $95

Warby Parker Barkley Sunglasses

Warby Parker has become a staple for millennial gentlemen searching for great looking, high-quality frames while keeping the investment to a minimum. The Barkleys are a new staff pick from WP, and we agree whole heartedly. They aren't too square or too round so they fit most face shapes, and with Warby's 'try before you buy' selection process you can be sure these are the right ones for you.
