These 12 sunglasses are the perfect balance of affordable and chic for this summer and beyond

It’s that glorious time of year again: summer getaways have been booked and long, sun-soaked days await. Here at GH, we don’t think anything embodies the spirit of summer quite like a brand new pair of sunnies. From a classic cat-eye to sleek aviators, there’s a shape and style out there for every taste.

Don’t underestimate the power of a good pair of sunglasses, they may be small but they are mighty! Not only are they essential for eye protection (no one wants to be squinting), but they instantly elevate any summer outfit with a cool, effortless feel. Personally, as soon as the sunshine makes an appearance, I’m never without them.

With that being said, it’s not always easy finding a pair that ticks both boxes: chic and budget-friendly. But don’t fret! To make life easier, we’ve done some digging and we’ve found 12 pairs of sunglasses that meet the brief – affordable and stylish (yes, you really can have it all!)
