This is where the evergreen style staple—sunglasses—come into the picture. It not only protects the eyes from the ravages of the sun, but, with the right pair, you'll elevate your style quotient by a notch with one simple step. Don't you just love it when your accessories are where form and function meet? Here, we share with you ten of the best sunglasses to keep your peepers  protected while allowing you to turn heads on the streets for all the right reasons.
