As we continue to navigate the pandemic, we’re thinking about staying safe and protected. And that should include protecting our eyes—both from the virus and from the sun.
Since coronavirus can be spread through the eyes, many doctors believe that wearing glasses or other protective eyewear can help stave off the virus. Plus, protecting your eyes from harmful UV rays is important year-round. Luckily, Amazon’s Black Friday sales include tons of Ray-Ban and Oakley sunglasses that’ll get the job done in style.
In the Ray-Ban sunglasses sale? Classic shapes like the Aviator and Wayfarer, plus lesser-known varieties. As for the Oakley sunglasses sale? Durable and sporty sunnies with polarized lenses. Scroll down for our favorite ways to throw some shade during Amazon’s Black Friday sale.
Ray-Ban Original Wayfarer Sunglasses
In a super elegant shape, you won’t find a pair of sunglasses more classic than these. The rounded rectangle frames are flattering to every face shape, and we bet that when you picture the perfect classic sunglasses, these come to mind.
“I was going to buy the New Wayfarers but these just have the classic look that I love. I am in Arizona and I like the fact that the Original Wayfarer lenses are tilted down which conforms to my face and keeps the sun out. Normally, I am a cheapskate and just buy cheap sunglasses so it was a major decision for me to buy expensive glasses. The retro and classic look of the Original Wayfarer and the excellent quality of the polarized lenses are worth it,” writes a Ray-Ban lover.

Ray-Ban Classic Mirrored Pilot Sunglasses
These classic aviators have hardly changed since they first hit the market — and that’s the way we like them. They feature polarized lenses, 100 percent UV protection and come in three sizes and tons of colors to perfectly suit your face. Want to go even more classic? The versions with non-mirrored lenses are marked down too.
“The UV protection is ridiculous — I can literally look at the sun with them on, although I would NOT recommend doing this — and the lenses are the perfect balance between dark and light. I have always been a fan of the aviator style and these definitely do not disappoint!” says a happy shopper.

Oakley Fives Squared Sunglasses
Looking for performance sunglasses with a casual appearance? Look no further. These feature plutonite lenses with 100 percent UV protection and blue light blocking technology. Designed to keep up with athletes, you’ll never find them broken at the bottom of your bag.
“Very light on your face,” says a reviewer who likes to rough up their sunglasses. “I really don't care for very heavy sunglasses, and these frames are the solution. It seems like most companies think of weight as an indication of quality, and I find that very annoying. These might feel cheap when you pick them up, but this is my second pair, and the first pair lasted through years of abuse. I used them playing softball, and in everyday life in AZ (which means literally every day) and they still lasted a good 5 years before I thought about replacing them. In fact I even kept the old pair to use for the more abusive activities so my new ones stay in good shape.”

Ray-Ban Clubmaster Square Sunglasses
There’s a reason these sunglasses have a near-perfect rating — they look great on everybody. The rounded wire frame with an angular acetate browline has a lifting effect and flatters every face shape. Plus, they come in 34 colors and two sizes.
This reviewer vouches for their quality: “I've had mine [for six months] and I, admittedly, am not careful with them. I drop them, I chew on [them], and I wear them constantly and often hang them on strings or my shirt. There's not a scratch on them, the screws aren't coming loose, and because they're the same as the day I bought them, I no longer have ‘hundred-dollar-sunglasses’ shame,” they write. “There's so much confidence that comes with wearing them I will happily buy them again on the day that I lose or sit on them.”

Oakley Holbrook Metal Square Sunglasses
These cool sunglasses feature all the performance capabilities that are synonymous with the Oakley brand, but look casual enough for everyday wear. With plutonite lenses, they can handle all the wear and tear you throw their way. Choose between an understated black or grey lens and a bolder mirrored lens.
“My favorite Oakleys,” writes a lover of the brand. “I have a polarized gunmetal pair and a matte black non-polarized pair. These glasses are comfy, well made and stylish. Do yourself a favor and cop you a pair.”

Ray-Ban Unisex Hexagonal Flat Lenses Hexagonal Sunglasses
Want something classic with an edge? These angular wire frames are wearable but have a touch of something unique. Plus, they come in 14 colors and three frame sizes to suit your face and complexion.
“It's been over two years that I've had them. Sunglasses never last me this long. Surprisingly sturdy for the delicate-looking frame and I'm super hard on things,” says a five-star reviewer.

Ray-Ban Metal Sunglasses
These sunglasses will challenge anybody who thinks they can’t pull off round frames. They’re super flattering—delicate enough not to overpower your face, but bold enough to make a statement.
“The quality of these Italian-made sunglasses is excellent,” says a reviewer who believes the brand name is synonymous with quality. “They are wonderful sunglasses, and exactly like a pair I had in the early ‘70s.”

Ray-Ban Emma Sunglasses
There’s something transformative about a retro frame — they feel young and modern yet timeless. This version gives the face a lifted look.
“These sunglasses are well worth the money,” says a reviewer. “They are lightweight and a very comfortable fit. The polarization is perfect in that there is absolutely no glare. It's like looking at everything in HD. Definitely five stars.”

Ray-Ban Blaze Double Bridge Square Sunglasses
Gracefully rounded and super-flattering. Generously sized to fully protect the eyes and complement any face shape, these aviators are sophisticated, smart and have a retro ‘70s feel.
“Love the lightweight design. Several friends have tried them on and they look good on different face shapes. My second pair,” writes a five-star reviewer.

Oakley Flak Jacket XLJ Sunglasses
Looking for the sporty style that Oakley is known for? We love this top-rated pair that deliver on performance and are ready for all your adventures.
“I broke down and got this pair. I'm not a fan of spending a lot of money on sunglasses, but these will end up being worth it to me. The XLJ lenses' coverage is great and I feel as if my eyes are truly protected out in the sun. If you're looking for a solid pair of golfing or outdoor sunglasses, give the Flak Jackets a try,” says a skeptic turned super fan.
