The Roy family may be a hot mess when it comes to multi-billion dollar business deals, but if there's one thing they do know how to do well, it's dress like a millionaire. Whether it's their minimalist sweaters, structured blazers, or nondescript baseball caps, the characters of Succession are masters at understated style—aka quiet luxury. Over the last 4 seasons, Kendall, Roman, and Shiv—and even Tom!—have schooled viewers on the art of dressing the part without wearing a single logo or flashy designer in sight. And now with the HBO series drawing to a close (the finale airs Sunday, May 28 at 9 p.m.), the editors of T&C have happened upon another one of their off-duty wardrobe must-haves: stealth sunglasses.

For those who have paid close attention to their style in recent episodes, the Roys do love themselves a good pair of shades. But they're more than just an accessory to them, they're a power signifying status symbol, perhaps even a way of shielding themselves from the world. And with warmer days finally here, we could all use a little inspiration. Whether you're a Kendall, Roman, or Shiv, or you simply identify with another character, there's a sunglasses style for you. Here, shop 7 similar options below.

PO3048S

When you want to channel billionaire patriarch vibes, reach for a pair of tortoiseshell Persol's a la Logan Roy. They're low key but give an air of importance.

Men's Dealan Acetate Rectangle Sunglasses

No Kendall Roy outfit is complete without a pair of Jacques Marie Mage sunglasses. He's donned several styles from the designer over the last four seasons, but he seems to have an affinity to rectangular-shaped ones like these. They're bold, for sure, but they don't scream at you with gaudy labels or insignias.

Air Heart | Emerald

When black feels too harsh, go for a subtle pop of color like Shiv did earlier this season with a pair of oversized emerald green sunnies. They are glamorous as they could be.

Sheldrake 49MM Phantos Sunglasses

Tom has come a long way from the Wambsgans we met in the first two seasons of Succession, when his fashion choices were a smidge flashier. During the season finale of season 3, he showed off his new understated style in a cream linen suit and gray sunglasses similar to these. What do we say? He's understood the assignment.

Round Metal Sunglasses

If you're one who likes to lean into classics, a Cousin Greg-approved pair of round Ray-Bans will do. They may have the brand's signature logo on the lens, but it's a look that simply never gets old.

Tortoiseshell M3058 Sunglasses

Fancy yourself more of a Roman kind of guy? Put on your favorite button down shirt and suit pants, finish off the look with these round Matsuda's, and what you have is a Roman-esque look. All business, no flash.

Oliver Peoples

Another Kendall favorite: these yellow Oliver Peoples. The yellow/brown hue is definitely a standout, but not in an overly showy look-at-me kind of way.
