1. Classic aviators

Aviator sunglasses are as timeless as they are versatile. We've reviewed Quay's take on the style staple before, and concluded that the High Key aviators were a great option for those looking to try out the aviator style without breaking the bank. Available in eight different styles, you can select between polarized versions for $85 or standard versions for $65.

2. Colorful lenses for bright frames

If your summer look requires a pop of color, the Hyped Up sunglasses could do the trick. Available in bright pink or bright green as well as basic black and tortoiseshell, the blocky frames a. Nonpolarized versions come with correspondingly colored lenses, and the hot pink polarized option comes with dark lenses.

There's no need to sacrifice glamor for sun-protection. Simple and fun, the Narrow Down sunglasses from Quay emphasize the eyes with a blocky cat-eye shape. You can get the frames for $75 for the standard bright blue version, or go with a more classic look in the $95 black polarized sunglasses.

5. Understated metal frames

Simple and sophisticated enough to combine with many different looks, the Jezabel sunglasses from Quay come in three different colorways and are a great choice for everyday wear, especially if you prefer large lenses and thinner frames. The polarized version of the glasses come in black and gold, with dark, protective lenses.

6. Tortoishell frames

Those looking for a more muted, classic look can turn to the Evasive sunglasses. We tested the Evasive style on our retest of Quay, and our reviewer noted that they were elegant enough for occasions like weddings, with tortoiseshell uppers and gold accents for an elevated look.
