Margo here. As a shopping editor, I’m constantly surveying how expensive things are these days. But I can confidently say that it isn’t hard to find inexpensive, high-quality sunglasses. I think Quay is doing it best. Their styles are on-trend, usually don’t exceed $100, and from now until June 22, they’re offering up to 60% off select styles. Have at it.
