Here at SLH, we like a good holiday celebration, especially when a great sale comes along with it! In case you didn’t know, National Sunglasses Day is TODAY, June 27th.

What exactly is this holiday about? Well, besides giving you a great excuse to show off your favorite sunglasses, it was created to remind everyone that sunglasses are much more than just an amazing fashion accessory, they can literally save your sight. No cap. Chronic UV exposure can raise your risk of corneal damage, developing cataracts, and even age-related macular degeneration. Wearing your sunnies when the UV levels are high is one of the best ways to protect yourself from these potentially damaging conditions. So you can have your fun in the sun and stay protected too!

To celebrate this, as well as encourage us all to wear them, our friends at Blenders Eyewear are saying Happy Sunglasses Day with their very own National Sunglasses Day Sale. Starting TODAY and running until this Thursday, June 29th (12:05 am Pacific) every pair of sunglasses on Blender’s website will be 40% OFF their already amazingly affordable prices!!

Not sure where to start? Hey, we got you. Our Editors got a sneak peek of this sale and have put together their favorite ten sunglasses you’re sure to fall in love with.

Ready to get started? Let’s get shady!

#10 – PATRIOTICALLY PERFECT

First up, and just in time for the upcoming 4th of July holiday is Blender’s red, white and blue beauty from their Falcon collection, called United. This limited edition version sports a sky blue non-polarized PureBlend lens (these lens offer superior clarity and durability in a dazzling mirror finish). The arms are a celebratory mix of red and white stripes with a dash of tortoiseshell gradient that infuses red, white and blue.

Blenders Eyewear, Falcon in United $41

(on Sale NOW from $69)

#9 – CLASSIC MEETS CANDY

Blame it all on a *little* movie about pilots that hit the big screen recently, but classic aviators are trending hard right now. Of course, rocking the OG versions is more than acceptable, but if you are truly looking for a twist, take some J.Lo inspo and grab some candy-colored versions. This peach and gold version is called Flirt Wagon, and is spot on perfect at a price you seriously cannot argue with…

#8 – SPORTY TO THE MAX

Can’t decide on your Sporty Look shades? Why go with one pair? The Deconstructo series from Blenders are rugged, polarized frames with all the sleek sport look you crave, plus lens that are made to be interchangeable. The Chrome Racer (shown below) is one of our ab fab favs, but there are other lens color options available and can be purchased separately. Bonus: the separate lens are also on sale right now for only $23 each. So if you’re looking to catch them all, better hit the ground running because pricing goes up after the sale.

Our pop-culture collective obsession with all things Y2K shows zero signs of slowing down. So is it any wonder that from Bella to RiRi we’re TikTok flooded with shield shades? Short answer – nope. We prescribe grabbing your crop top and skater jeans and pairing them with these statement sunnies for a look that’s Destiny’s Child approved. YW.

#1 – FEELING CAT-TY
