15 Cute Sunglasses Under $25 That'll Protect Your Eyes (And Make You Look Cool) All Summer Long

I know it only just officially became spring, but the slightly warmer temps already have me yearning for summer — which means shopping for cute sunglasses, obviously. So now I'm getting revved up about all those summer concerts, festivals, and of course, beach trips. And with all of these activities, sun protection is important. We know this. But so is having the best accessories. That's where sunglasses come in. Best of both worlds, right? However, I always find myself loosing or sitting on my favorite pair of sunnies during all the summer fun. But if those shades were say, under $25, I probably wouldn't be as disappointed as if they were some $250 designer ones, right? So to keep up with your hustle and bustle, here are 15 shades that not only provide UV protection but are also relatively inexpensive.
