Perhaps sunglasses were invented to protect our eyes from the sun’s harmful rays (several eye problems have been linked to exposure to UV), but there’s no denying that these days, they are just as much about making a style statement than they are for protection. Just like in winter, when we want the best in chic designs for a warm coat, a designer pair of sunglasses is a way for the fashion-savvy to express themselves in the summer.
So, with summer upon us, we all want to get our hands on this year’s chicest sunglasses from some of our favorite luxury labels, all of which you can find here. So, here are just some of the best summer frames that should be on your shopping list:

No matter what year it is, a pair of Ray-Ban Aviators will always top our chic list. These military-style glasses have a rich history of popularity, however, it was one man and one movie that really brought these iconic glasses to our attention. That’s right, thanks to Tom Cruise in Top Gun, aviator sunglasses become one of the most fashionable styles around. The style was popular with pilots to help reduce glare when flying, according to Business Insider, and still, prove to be popular decades later.
