Throwing Shade: We’ve Just Found 27 Of The Best Sunglasses Brands You Can Shop RN

Finding the right pair of sunglasses always feels like a mission, especially when there’s a plethora of them to choose from. I mean, in the few hours it took me to go hunting for the best sunglasses brands you can shop in Australia, I found 27 of ’em. I don’t even think that’s all of them, my fingers just got tired. Can ya blame me?

The good news is that I found everything from sleek sustainable eyewear to retro shapes and shades, as well as some of the most eccentric statement sunnies you’ve ever seen in your life (I’m looking at you, Poppy Lissiman). It’s also worth noting that a lot of the brands we found stock women’s, men’s, unisex and genderless shades, so if you can’t find your dream pair of sunglasses from this bunch, then I’ll be damned.

Anyway, without further ado. Here are 27 sunglasses brands you can shop in Australia.
