Let's set aside the obvious purpose of sunglasses - protecting your eyes from harmful UV rays - and focus on the style quotient of these face framing accessories.

Your shades can be whatever you want them to be, whether you are going for quirky, chic, or simply to keep yourself mysteriously incognito.  Even if you aren't someone who gravitates toward accessories, sunglasses just might be the gateway drug you have been looking for. There are as many frames as there are face shapes, so there truly is a pair out there for everyone. Once you find the right frame for your face, have fun!

Finding the right sunglasses can really pull your whole ensemble together, and work wonders for your confidence, not to mention can speak to your personal style. While I tend to gravitate to a classic tortoiseshell - the little black dress of the sunglass world - a colorful pair did make its way into my life this year. I am finding that if I only reach for one accessory, it is a pair of sunglasses - and I instantly feel pulled together. 

And while it’s easy to accumulate many pairs with so many styles on offer, us Elsie Green gals prefer to invest in fewer and better. We have rounded up our best in show to save you the hassle.
