Every item on this page was chosen by a Town & Country editor. We may earn commission on some of the items you choose to buy.

Sunnier days call for fashionable frames that are protective, flattering, and versatile.

Once a week, we ask our editors to share the items they've been loving or lusting after—whether it's a new skincare product we're dying to try or a travel essential we can't live without. Consider "The Weekly Covet" your editor-approved wish list for beauty, travel, fashion, and everything in between.

"My love of Garrett Leight is well-established, so it should come as no surprise when I submit these new frames from the label for your consideration this summer. Nuff said." — Erik Maza, Executive Style Director

"Super-sized round sunnies are the instant dose of glamour all of my understated summer looks need, and these sleek Burberry ones are perfect." — Lauren Hubbard, Contributor

"Sunglasses are essential in summer for both safety and style. I love the transition lenses in my Warby Parker Frames... style and safety all in one!" — Darrick Harris, Visual Director

"I’ve always loved the angled look of the original Wayfarer classic—this modern update looks amazing and still retains that distinct Ray-Ban silhouette." — Michael Stillwell, Senior Designer

"The late Virgil Abloh, the founder of the label Off-White and the creative director of menswear at Louis Vuitton, left behind scores of designs and motifs that are ripe for re-invention, a quirk of fashion that he would have relished. Exhibit A: One of his earliest accessories for the house, the 1.1 Millionaires sunglasses he introduced during his debut runway show, has now been refreshed for spring." — Erik Maza, Executive Style Director

"When it comes to sunglasses, my favorite ones are 70s inspired and oversized. Think Gloria Steinem goes to Studio 54." — Breana Crews, Freelance Fashion Assistant

"I haven’t been able to stop thinking about Adam Driver’s glasses in House of Gucci since I saw the movie a few months ago. As an everyday glasses wearer, I’m not ready to abandon my usual frames which is why I am eyeing Warby Parker’s 'Hatcher' sunglasses in Oak Barrel." — Sarah Carbonaro, Freelance Fashion Assistant

"Illestiva's iconic Milan sunglasses have been my go-to for seven summers so far, but I decided to switch things up for this season—and boy am I happy I did. Between the oversized silhouette and those gorgeous berry tortoishelle frames, there's just something so glam about this pair." — Sophie Dweck, Associate Shopping Editor

"Sometimes you find a pair of sunglasses and you realize you'll never need to buy a new pair ever again. For me, those dream sunglasses are the Cary Grant style from Oliver Peoples. Inspired by the pair Cary Grant himself wears in the 1959 film North by Northwest, the glasses have an everlasting old Hollywood appeal." — Emily Burack, News Writer

"When it comes to style inspiration, there's one woman for me and one woman only": Carolyn Bessette Kennedy. I've long been on the hunt for a pair of rounded mid-size frames like those that she used to wear and I found the perfect tortoiseshell option in Ochre Lane."—Roxanne Adamiyatt, Senior Lifestyle Editor
