Ray-Bans are a classic wardrobe staple that totally screams summer style, but let’s be realistic – they’re so expensive. These days we’re all about saving our dollars for wise investments instead of dropping $200 on a pair of glasses we’ll probably either lose or scratch up within a month or two of purchasing.
That’s where these affordable Ray-Ban look-alikes come in: They’re a fraction of the price and look just like the real deal, and you won’t have to cry when they fall off your head in the parking lot and get a lens scratch. Sure, some might not last as long as a real pair of Ray-Bans theoretically could, but you’ll be stoked to head to the pool or simply out for a grocery run knowing full well you look good and didn’t have to dig too deeply into your disposable income to afford those beauties on your face.
Ahead, a whole bunch of Ray-Ban look-alikes you’ll want to buy stat.

Prive Revaux The Maestro MetalSunglasses
This Jennifer Lopez-approved brand is known for its high-quality sunglasses that come at actually affordable prices. Take, for instance, this pair of Maestro metal ones: they’re under $40 and come in four chic colors that each have polarized lenses. If that weren’t enough, the sunglasses have an anti-glare finish. No wonder J. Lo has been seen wearing her own $39 pair.

Eagle Eyes Classic Aviator TriLenium PolarizedSunglasses
Compared to the typical $200 Ray-Ban aviators you can get, this $90 pair will save you money without falling flat on quality. The stylish sunnies block blue light as well as 99.9% of harmful UV radiation, according to the brand. So, if you want sunglasses that look cool as can be, but will also protect your eyes in the long run, these are them.
