This company makes affordable, polarized sunglasses in a wide variety of styles and colors. Originally, the lightweight sunglasses appealed to runners for their extra durability and low price tag. Now, everyone can enjoy the fun colors, funky names, and multiple styles from this brand.

I adore these sunglasses, like these Influencers Pay Double style.

I personally own three sets of Goodr sunglasses. I picked up my first pair on a whim when checking out at the cash register of a local shop. Since then, I’ve ordered two more pairs for myself because I love them so much. (Spoiler alert: I wore my first pair in the pool with kids, and chlorine, while it didn’t change the functionality of my shades, definitely added spots to the polarized lenses.)

Goodr sunglasses come in a variety of styles and colors, like these Donkey Goggles.

These sunglasses offer lightweight yet stylish protection to fit any style. Each pair comes with a drawstring bag to keep them safe when not in use. They easily slide into diaper bags, purses, beach bags, and more, so you always have a pair handy. But don’t let the lightweight material fool you. These shades last. They can handle whatever your toddler or other kids dish out, from getting dropped repeatedly to using them as a hair band and much, much more.
