Ray-Ban is the first and last name when it comes to sunglasses, with the catalog of now-signature styles to back it up. If Wayfarers were good enough for Tom Cruise in Risky Business, they’re sure as hell good enough for you now.

Stockholm-based brand Chimi started as an eyewear company, and has since expanded into chic, minimalist clothes and accessories, but sunglasses will always be at the heart of its success. With sleek, slim styles designed to fuse function and fashion, there’s no going wrong here.

Dita’s handcrafted sunglasses sit at the pinnacle of luxury. With modern and timeless styles, these are well worth the investment.

Diff is built on the principle of charity, so all its sunglasses are for a good cause.
