Shades. Sunnies. Peepers. Hater-blockers. Sun cheaters (yes, that is what they were called in the early 20th century). Sunglasses are a fashionable and functional item, even more fashionable than the denim jacket, some may say.

Whether you’re at the beach, on the slopes, driving or out and about—protecting your peepers from ultraviolet rays is important, and fortunately, you can look stylish doing it. Movie stars from the early 20th century are often credited for popularizing sunglasses. As a result, they were soon being mass produced around the country. Sunglasses are a donated item that thrift stores receive in droves! Aviators, reflective, cat-eye, round, square, Oval, Wayfarer, Clubmaster and rectangle of some of the official styles of sunglasses produced and donated to our stores.

If you’re anything like me, you’re losing or destroying sunglasses at a shocking and alarming rate; the idea of paying retail price every time you need a new pair is just not acceptable or feasible. When they’re under $5 and the money is going to a noble cause, why not buy a pair? To my delight, I found all the sunglasses pictured in one single haul! There are many timeless frame styles, which is a great benefit to the resale shopping experience as you’ll probably find high-quality vintage glasses or a fun, trendy new style on the same day!
