12 Under-$50 Sunglasses That Look So Expensive
Affordable sunglasses can be the saving grace of your bank account, considering how quickly this useful (and sometimes pricey) accessory can go missing. The feeling of losing a pair of sunglasses worth hundreds of dollars is something no one should experience, yet too many of us have. Ahead, we've rounded up the best sunglasses under $50, and by the best, we mean the coolest. Essentially every cool sunglasses trend under the sun can be found here, including super-slim, translucent, and cat-eye varieties. And while we hope you never lose sight of these affordable sunnies, in the event that you do, the sinking feeling in your stomach will be minimized thanks to the under-$50 price point, and that's worth the mild investment, if you ask us.
In case you don't already have the perfect pair of cat-eye shades.
