15 of the Best Sunglasses Chains for Every Style

Sunglasses have come a long way when it comes to style choices. Gone are the days when your options were essentially plain black shades: Now, regardless of whether you need prescription lenses, want to match your outfit, or simply want to protect your eyes from the sun, there's a significant range of options to fit any aesthetic and budget.

Once you find a pair of sunglasses that suits your face and fits comfortably, you definitely won’t want to lose them. There's something about finding a style that feels right on you, and while you can always replace a missing pair, it's never quite the same. An excellent way to ensure you don't find yourself in that situation is to get a sunglasses chain to keep them safely around your neck whenever they're off your face, and also add some extra flair to your trusted sunnies. Ahead, see 15 fun, trendy, and versatile sunglasses chains to keep your favorite shades close.
