Sunglasses aren't just for eye protection—they're for serving lewks, too. From aviators to cat-eye glasses, sunnies have long been seen as a sartorial symbol of coolness. In fact, research shows that wearing sunglasses can actually boost your confidence and make you feel more comfortable in social situations (for more on that, I'd suggest reading Vanessa Brown's Cool Shades: The History and Meaning of Sunglasses). Call it the incognito-celebrity effect, if you will. And, like all things these days, you can find some of the best sunglasses on Amazon.

No matter what sunglasses style you're searching for, Amazon has it: classic wayfarers, oversized shield sunglasses, retro round frames, skinny 90s sunnies, timeless aviators, modern cat-eyes, and on and on and on.

On any given Tuesday, you can score crazy good deals on designer sunglasses from labels like Ray-Ban and Coach and test out new trendy sunglasses from affordable, reviewer-loved brands.

With thousands upon thousands of pairs to choose from, finding the best sunglasses on Amazon can be a tall order.
