Summer sunglasses are an accessory you’d be hard pressed to leave home without. They pull your look together, injecting instant style to an outfit, and protect your eyes from harmful UV rays. It’s easy to follow the crowd and nab a pair of popular shades, but if you like to stray from the pack—rather than show up to a gathering wearing the same pair as half your friends—heed our summer sunglasses guide.

We’ve identified standout offerings from top sunglasses brands, eschewing super-trendy silhouettes and colors for intriguing nuances on classic styles. Can’t choose just one? (We don’t blame you.) Nab a travel case like Garrett Leight California Optical Collector’s Case ($80) to keep up to four pairs organized and protected. It’s not just for travel; the velvety-smooth suede exterior is stylish enough to keep out in your bedroom so you can easily see all your summer sunglasses, pick the shades of the day, and get out the door in a flash.

The Best Summer Sunglasses to Stand Out in a Crowd

Square sunglasses provide strong, clean lines that perfectly suit round and oval face shapes, balancing out the proportions. The Wiley sunglasses in Brindle Tortoise (shown above) is handmade from zyl acetate for lightweight comfort and enduring longevity. Perhaps best of all, its green polarized lenses offer 100 percent UVA/UVB protection.

2. Illesteva Patmos Sunglasses

A modern take on the aviator frame, these Italian-made shades are inspired by the Greek island of Patmos. Opt between 24K gold or metal frames—we like the former to mimic the way light shimmers off water at sunset. The slightly hexagonal shape and tortoise temple tips add another dimension of elegance.

You can’t beat the price and convenience of Warby Parker, especially with their option to try multiple frames at home for free before you buy online. The Griffin is available in multiple widths and lens types (prescription, progressives, readers, and single vision), as well as two glossy acetate frames. We’re partial to the Pacific Crystal (shown above) for an understated pop of color that’s neutral enough to match virtually any outfit. The slightly arched brow of the frames soften the boxiness of their shape to boot.

Pining for a retro vibe? This beauty draws style influence from American writer Arthur Miller. The strong single bridge, metal plaques, and ombré fade of the Matte DK Caramel colorway offer subtle flair. The brown mineral glass lenses, which boast UV protection and an anti-reflective coating, are housed in acetate frames.

Oliver Peoples’ Cary Grant 2 Sun also draws on vintage Hollywood vibes. As the name suggests, these eponymous shades reference the ones the actor donned in the 1959 thriller North by Northwest. They sport an acetate frame with a metal bridge and eyewire. The timeless tortoise colorway, green lenses, and plaques on the front and temples add durability.

A major trend of summer 2020, aside from acetate frames, is standout brows and unique nose bridges (specifically a lack thereof). The acetate brow bar on these navigator-style frames adds the perfect level of intrigue (without being outlandish), and the dark green lenses contrast beautifully with the 24K stainless steel hardware.

The square silhouette of the Momza Sun makes them stand the test of time—but it’s their unexpected color pairing that’ll make people pause and take notice. The Italian-made acetate in the Cinnamon colorway (above) encases baby blue glass lenses. These add levity and brightness to any ensemble, summoning coastal beach vibes.

Unabashedly bold, these Torino frames are a nod to sports car racing. Don’t let the thick nose bridge and wide size fool you; they come in under an ounce and feature ROKA’s signature patented GEKO fit—tacky elastomer pads on the nose and temples that provide added grip when you start to sweat. Consider them your wear-everywhere pair, perfectly transitioning between outdoor workouts and casual wear.

The Merz Aesthetics® 2023 Tala Awards: A Celebration of Beauty and Confidence

Merz Aesthetics® and Vanguard Aesthetics celebrated their beauty partners’ milestones of achievements on a beautiful night filled with blooming flowers

In the tapestry of life, milestones are the vibrant threads that weave our unique stories together. These significant markers hold immense value, allowing us to reflect, appreciate, and celebrate our journeys. However, they are more than mere numbers of wins; it’s a symbol of growth and endurance.

Hosted by Merz Aesthetics® with Vanguard Aesthetics, the pioneer behind Ultherapy®, the recently held Tala Awards last October 5 at Shangri La at the Fort, Manila, had an evening of celebrations and recognitions. This momentous event is an annual celebration of recognizing the outstanding performance of their partner dermatologists, aestheticians, and beauty and wellness clinics.

The time to bloom

Inspired by the flourishing beauty of flowers with the theme: “Confidence to Bloom”, this year’s rendition of the event was the biggest one to date. Exquisitely held in one the five-star hotels, the grand ballroom became an idyllic garden fit for the influential beauty experts.

The guests, dressed in their iterations of Filipiniana floral attire, stepped into the bridgeway adorned with a trellis of blooms. In the hallway, they enjoyed some delightful treats, cocktails, a photo flora booth, and a 360 selfie camera to welcome them to a lovely evening.

Host Issa Litton welcomed the esteemed guests to a delightful evening, where a mesmerizing flower performance captivated the eyes of many, followed by an introduction to Merz Asia Pacific Regional Associate Vice President, Regional Commercial, Raymond Ong.

At last year’s Tala Awards, it was all about stepping back into the light—rising above the pandemic’s uncertainty. Ong shared, “In the past year, one certainty stands out: constant change.”

With change comes the growing acceptance of non-invasive procedures. When patients embrace self-love, they become more receptive to innovative technologies and ideas.

“Standing here today, we celebrate the milestones we have all achieved together in the past year. We have indeed grown and blossomed into confidence champions for our patients to look better, feel better, and live better,” said Merz Asia Pacific Regional Associate Vice President, Regional Commercial, Raymond Ong.

The power of authenticity

The sumptuous dinner was served, and the evening continued with the certification of over 100 Ultherapy®clinics nationwide. Ultherapy®, the non-invasive skin lifting and tightening procedure, leads Merz Aesthetics’ eminent portfolio. Issa Litton then invited Ultherapy® ambassador Ellen Adarna onstage to share her campaign, “No Bad Takes,” and her journey on self-care, empowerment, and authenticity.

“The campaign embodies my journey, not just with beauty and aesthetics, but with celebrating me. It’s my goal to share this kind of confidence and empowerment with everyone,” the actress shared. “The ‘No Bad Takes’ campaign is about achieving your best self without the need to change yourself [or undergo] invasive treatments.”

Adarna further discussed the value of Ultherapy®‘s authenticity. While many similar machines claim the same level of efficacy, there is a reason why it solely remains the gold standard* in non-invasive skin lifting and tightening.

The Ultherapy® ambassador shared some important details on spotting the authentic Ultherapy® through the Seal of Authenticity, the clinic’s Certificate of Authenticity, the Authenticity Crystal, the Authenticity emblem found right on the machine, and the Patient Certificate of Authenticity.

Merz Aesthetics® and Vanguard Aesthetics awarded many of their partner beauty clinics and doctors with a long list of accolades to give honorees their well-earned stars.

Presented by Merz Asia Pacific Regional Associate Vice President, Regional Commercial, Raymond Ong, and Vanguard Aesthetics Chief Executive Officer, Ryan Ng, this most coveted and notable title is given to a commercial leader in the Philippines that empowered countless others in their confidence to bloom journeys.

“May you always inspire Filipinos to be the grandest, fullest, and most beautiful version of themselves,” Vanguard Aesthetics’ Chief Executive Officer Ryan Ng said.

With their outstanding performance and global recognition, The Aivee Clinic took home a total of six awards for the night. Aside from the Overall 7-Star Award, Dr. Aivee and Dr. Z Teo also won the 7-Star Ultherapy® Transducer Award, 7-Star Merz Pure Anti-Wrinkle Treatment Award, 7-Star Merz Easy Adapt Hyaluronic Acid Filler Award, 5-Star for Ultherapy® Control Unit Award and a 3-Star Merz Regenerative Biostimulator Award.
