Clip-ons- Clip-ons were made for those people who wear glasses, they are lenses you can put on top of your glasses, this is a much cheaper alternative to getting a pair of sunglasses that are in themselves corrective, another alternative to clip on sunglasses are the flip-up sunglasses.
Gradient Lens Sunglasses- Gradient lenses have different shades of color, the top being darker and the bottom lighter. This type of sunglasses is best for activities such as driving since a person can still see ahead clearly while getting protection from the sun.
Mirrored Sunglasses- Mirrored sunglasses have lenses that have been coated with a layer of mirrored surface. This helps deflect any incoming sunlight although it does not necessarily block out UV rays, this style is great for driving as well.
Oversized Sunglasses- Popularized by none other than Jackie Onasis, these sunglasses are more of a fashion trend than anything else although since they are larger they protect not only the eyes but the skin around the general area of the eyes.

Wayfarers- In 1952 Ray-Ban created the wayfarer. Trapezoidal in shape this is one of the most recognizable styles of sunglasses and remains to be a classic, even though there was a time that they were almost stopped from being produced. They are one of the more iconic styles just like the Aviator.
