The Best Ray-Ban Alternatives at Affordable Prices
Ray-Bans are an iconic classic when it comes to summer shades. But if your budget doesn't allow you to grab a new pair of Wayfarers, here are our top picks for affordable Ray-Ban alternatives.
The summer sun is shining and while we love to see it, your beat up pair of sunglasses might need replacing before we get too much further into the season. If you're a huge fan of Ray-Ban styles, but not a huge fain of their price tag, we've got your covered.
Here is our list of the best Ray-Ban alternatives broken out by style. Some are priced as low as $10 and all of them are from brands and stores that we trust. Take a look at our list and let us know if you've got any to add!
Aviator Alternatives
Nothing is more stylish than a pair of mirrored aviators in the summertime. Ray-Ban aviators feature that iconic, elongated lens shape and metal rims and typically run $160 to $175, with sale styles around $115. These aviators give the same trendy look at a much lower price point.
Privé Revaux Commando 2.0
The Commando 2.0 Aviators from Privé Revaux are a $40 Ray-Ban aviators alternative. They have stainless steel frames and scratch-resistant lenses with 100% UVA/UVB protection. Choose from five different colorways and you can order them with prescription lenses if needed.
EyeBuyDirect Good Vibrations
EyeBuyDirect is an online-only eyewear retailer. They have sunglasses, glasses, and prescription options. Their Good Vibrations aviators are just $42 and have a classic Ray-Ban aviators vibe. Choose from prescription or non-prescription lenses and three color options.
Wayfarer Style Alternatives
Wayfarers are one of the most iconic and popular Ray-Ban styles. This classic style usually runs around $150 through Ray-Ban, but you can sometimes find Ray-Bay deals from authorized sellers for $70 to $80.
If you don't feel like waiting around for a deal, below are our picks for the best cheap Wayfarer alternatives.
goodr OG
The OG style from goodr is a great Ray-Ban Wayfarer dupe. At $25 the price is hard to beat. We think A Ginger's Soul style best represents the classic Wayfarer look, but there are a total of 37 different OG styles. Frames range from black, to purple, to a marbled print and the lenses come in classic black or different hues of mirrored styles.
Old Navy Mirror-Lens Sunglasses
These men's-style Mirror-Lens Sunglasses are the spitting image of Ray-Ban Wayfarers. The lenses are not polarized but do offer UVA/UVB protection. Old Navy also has an all-black version with non-mirrored lenses that are sold out online, but worth a look in your local store!
Clubmaster Alternatives
The chic and fashion-forward Clubmaster sunglasses have a unique frame style that has a thicker rim on top with a thin-rimmed or rimless lower edge. These usually are between $160 to $200 at Ray-Ban and we've seen them on sale for as low as $75 as recently as last year, but we've got some affordable alternatives if you can't wait for the next sale.
Quay Evasive
Quay Australia (pronounced KEY) is a popular budget brand of sunglasses. Their Evasive frames are an excellent dupe for Ray-Ban Clubmaster style sunglasses and are just $65. These glasses come with polarized frames and you can get them with prescription lenses if needed.
Amazon CGID Inspired
At $22, these Ray-Ban Clubmaster dupes from CGID on Amazon are a steal. They have the same black and gold frame style and UV-protected, polarized frames. Choose the classic black and gold style, or several other color options at the same price.
