The perfect pair of women’s sunglasses is a crossover between functionality and style. Whether you’re hitting the pavement or conquering the waves, your shades are the trusty accessories that keep your vision comfortable, clear, and safe when you spend time outdoors. Still, shades don’t have to be strictly functional — the right pick can also elevate your style.
We know that picking out sunglasses can be intimidating. If you’re in search of the best sunglasses for women, we’ve compiled a shortlist of our go-to eyewear for adventuring on those beautiful sunny days. Besides flexing sleek styles, you can enjoy 100% UV protection and Lumalens color-optimized lenses when you pick up any of Dragon Alliance’s sunglasses.
Best Sunglasses for Running: Calypso Polarized
Calypso is perfect for a wide range of sports adventures, but it can especially come in handy for running. As you hit the pavement, the wide-coverage shield shape helps keep harsh light and debris from getting into your eyes. And, not to mention, its wraparound style can also lend your ‘fit a sporty chic vibe.
For optimal durability and performance, this shade features an injection-molded, plant-based resin material, which won’t feel heavy as you run. Plus, if you’re running on a flat road, the polarized lenses help reduce the glare that’s bouncing off of the ground.
Best Sunglasses for Hiking: Pursuer
When you head out for a hike, you want a well-fitting pair of sunglasses that will stay on your face. If you prefer a sized-down style, Purser is a sleek choice with its subtly outswept silhouette and beautiful color gradient options. Additionally, it features a 5-barrel stainless steel hinge for a secure fit as you figure out the lay of the land.
Fit aside, we also love Purser for our more rugged pursuits because of its high-quality acetate frame, which is lightweight yet durable for those encounters with rough terrains. Plus, the Lumalens technology ensures precise depth perception and enhanced clarity for those sweeping, picture-perfect views.
Best Sunglasses for Conquering the Water: Dune H2O Polarized
Dune comes in a tried-and-true square silhouette for a timeless style. If you plan on splashing around in the water, we highly recommend Dune H2O Polarized, which comes in our H2O floatable style. Basically, the TPX material has a lower density than water, so the frame can stay afloat without washing away. Whether you’re boating, fishing, or surfing, this feature keeps you from losing your sunglasses. Plus, the rubber temple tips help your frames stay put on your face. And, of course, the polarized lenses combat glare, so you won’t have to strain your eyes as you look out into the vast blue seas.
Best Sunglasses for Driving: Rowan Polarized
Statement style doesn’t have to mean sacrificing quality. Combining luxury with durability, Rowan’s stylish rectangular frames are made with premium acetate. When you cruise the streets, the polarized lenses also reduce the glare that comes from cars and road conditions. On top of it all, you can drive away in style with classic neutral color options that work for each and every occasion.
Best Sunglasses for Everyday Wear: Koby
The first thing you might notice about Koby is its classic style, but what we love most about this round frame is that it’s made from 100% recycled water bottles. Besides keeping our planet a little cleaner, the recycled PET material is lightweight, so it’ll feel comfortable when you wear it all day long. This gorgeous frame is perfect for everyday wear, whether you pop it on for a walk around town or integrate it into your après-ski look. Depending on your personal style, you can opt for go-to neutrals or get a little playful with a bright frame.
There’s no need to choose between high-quality designs and beautiful styles. At Dragon Alliance, we fuse together cutting-edge lens technology with sturdy frames and sleek silhouettes. No matter where your adventures take you, you’ll have eyewear that you can always rely on.
