The stereotype holds true: celebrities love sunglasses. Elton John didn’t take his pink rimless sunnies off when he met the queen; Anna Wintour kept her signature black Chanel sunglasses on throughout the entire Oscars; and Victoria Beckham has almost become synonymous with the variety of square-framed glasses that she gets pictured in anytime she’s outside.
It makes perfect sense that a slew of stars have partnered up with sunglass companies to create their own signature styles. From Jimmy Fallon’s latest collaboration with Warby Parker to the slew of bold-faced names that have partnered with the Australian cult-favorite sunglass brand Quay over the years (we’re partial to Saweetie‘s gorgeous Almost Ready style) there’s no shortage of celebrity-designed sunglass brands and collaborations to shop this summer.
Here are the best sunglass lines to buy from now that the sun is out.
Warby Parker X Jimmy Fallon Flippies
Jimmy Fallon and the eyewear brand Warby Parker are back at it with a new, innovative pair of sunglasses called Flippies. The limited-edition sunglasses, released last week, boast a rectangular shape, a slightly upturned browline, riveted end pieces and a versatile hinge construction so you can flip them over to either reveal a blue or black colorway depending on your mood. The Flippies come with non-prescription grey sun lenses that have anti-reflective coating on both sides.

Quay X Saweetie
Saweetie’s highly anticipated partnership with Quay sold out fast after its initial release in 2021 but thankfully the most popular style, called Almost Ready, is still available at Nordstrom. The all-black sunnies have oversized square frames, molded nose pads and dark-tinted lenses. Quay’s distinguishable logo branding is printed on the arms and lens.
