Forecast: Sunny days are (finally) ahead. With spring well in swing and summer on the horizon, now's the time to refresh your sunglasses with the latest trends. If you're going on a long-planned (and well-deserved) vacation to the beach or somewhere consistently hot and sun-filled, you will absolutely need some eyewear to protect your peepers from the sun's harmful UV rays.

Sunglasses with the correct amount of protection not only keep your sight safe but also minimize squinting, which will help keep you crow's-feet-free for longer, and who doesn't want that? And if a beach trip or summer vacation isn't in the cards this season, you'll still need protection when the sun does make an appearance, even if you're just heading out for last-minute groceries. With all this in mind, here are some of the most stylish and protective eyewear for you to choose, across a range of price points. From polarized vintage-inspired frames to updated cat eyes, and even some inspired by Oprah, here are the best sunglasses for women that offer not only eye protection but also style. Now all you need is a cute sun hat, some SPF, and a caftan and your warm weather "lewk" is complete.
