The tinted blush lens and colored edges give the frames a festive beach vibe while still being completely wearable.

A pair of retro sunnies for all the outdoor concerts you'll attend this summer. The lenses are scratch-resistant, so don't completely flip out if a crowd surfer knocks them to the ground. The best selling point, however, is that for every pair of Diff Eyewear sold, the brand donates a pair of glasses to someone in need. 

These Givenchy round frames are your everyday sunglasses (and for the price, you better wear them 365 days a year).
