Dropping a few hundred bucks on a pair of shades is a difficult investment for someone who may go through a few pairs a summer (myself included), but the Madewell sunglasses line keeps peepers protected on a reasonable price point.
The easy-on-the-wallet sunnies are stylish without breaking the bank and are an expansion of the budget-friendly line of clothing and accessories already featured on the site.
While some of the styles retail around $150, the majority of the line hovers around the $50 mark -- which is pretty reasonably when compared the high pricing of some of their brand name competitors.
With slightly altered classics such as the 'Sunny Day' wayfarers and the 'Hepcat' cat-eyed frames, these bright glasses with contrasting frame and glass colors will make easy-breezy days outside less squinty.
