10 Pairs of Sunglasses That Only Look ExpensiveIf you lost any of these shades, you might shed a tear—not because they cost a fortune, but ‘cause they’re so cute. Three things are true of all sunglasses: they shield your eyes from the sun, add panache to a summer outfit, and are invariably left in cabs or sat on at a baseball game. Because the lifespan of a pair is about as fleeting as a Chicago summer, dropping a lot of money on them rarely seems sensible. Luckily, the internet (including Goods) is stocked with scores of snazzy pairs—available with or without a prescription—that are inexpensive, yet stylish enough to mourn if they suffer any mishaps. Here are 10 styles (5 for men, 5 for women), most of which clock in at less than $100. 10-pairs-of-sunglasses-that-only-look-expensive_men_600c490 MEN 1.
