But before you splash out on a new pair of sunglasses, take a look at these highly affordable, stylish frames from Privé Revaux. The company was launched with the help of a celebrity team including Jamie Foxx, Hailee Steinfeld, and Ashley Benson, offering modern frames with premium polarized lenses.

4. The 6 Best Staples To Get From Everlane
For wardrobe staples that will last decades, there’s no better brand to shop than Everlane. This clothing company makes quality clothes using radical transparency. Let us explain what that means.
First and foremost, Everlane is dedicated to making clothes using an ethical approach. All Everlane factories around the world must pass a test concerning fair wages, reasonable hours and environment. In addition, for every product you buy on the Everlane website, you can see where it was made and read a brief introduction to the factory.
In addition, the modern company doesn’t hide the manufacturer’s cost. For each item, you can see exactly how much the company paid to have that product made. Compare this to the retail price and you’ll notice a markup of 200 to 300%. That’s far less than the average markup of five to six times the manufacturing cost.
But this ethical approach is all just a bonus when you consider the quality of Everlane clothing. Not a brand to be particularly influenced by fashion, Everlane pieces will remain in your closet for decades. They match with practically everything and each item can be used for a variety of occasions, from lounging around the house to a night out with friends. These six Everlane staples might cost a bit more than your average sweater, purse or boots, but you can feel good about how they’re made, and you’ll wear them forever.
