It’s a vicious cycle that, unfortunately, I’m all too familiar with: wants trendy sunglasses, buys the cheapest pair possible, wears them a maximum of five times, they break. After making the same mistake over and over, and realistically, losing a lot of money because of it, I decided it was time to #adult and invest in a pair of quality sunglasses that checked all the boxes. After my fair share of bargain glasses, I was eager to own a pair that didn’t feel like they were going to break every time I slid them on or pulled them out of my purse.

My ultimate goal seemed simple, find cute sunglasses that didn’t completely break the bank. I started to pick the brains of my most fashion-forward friends and received an overwhelming amount of responses for one specific brand. Because my friends all have completely different styles, I was intrigued by their recommendation and it’s capability to meet each of their aesthetics. In addition to looking cute, everyone was able to vouch for the quality of the sunglasses. From stories of chaotic road trips to bottomless mimosa brunches, it was clear that these glasses had been put through the wringer and lived to tell the tale.

My Diff sunglasses have lasted longer than any of my relationships

Exposing myself here, but for a good cause. It’s been about one year since I ordered my Diff glasses. I wear them every day. They’ve been on short walks, long trips, summer boat rides, winter ski trips - you name it. Through it all, they’ve remained in the exact same condition as when I first took them out of the box. In that same amount of time, the ~old~ me would have gone through 10 pairs of crappy glasses, spending more than I did on my quality Diffs.

Diff sunglasses aren’t just high quality, they’re cute, like really cute. When ordering my first pair, I probably scrolled through their site for at least 20 minutes trying to decide which style I wanted to try out. Luckily, they have a BOGO deal, so I ordered one pair that fit right inside my comfort zone, and another that was a bit more “trendy”, compared to my safe millennial style. I ended up loving both pairs and I’m not the only one, I receive compliments on the glasses almost every time I’m out.

Small details make a big diff-erence

There’s so many variables that make Diff the superior eyewear choice (in my humble opinion). Each pair of glasses is handcrafted with care using premium materials. It’s easy to see (no pun intended) how passionate the team is about delivering the perfect pair with lots of love. From polarized aviators to chic cat eye frames, each Diff design is super unique and at that same time, simply stunning. They also have blue light and prescription glasses. Most importantly, the glasses are extremely comfortable to wear and have made even the brightest days really easy on my eyes.

We love a brand that gives back

It’s so much easier to give someone your money when a.) you get something amazing in return and b.) you know they’re doing good with it. Since they launched in 2015, Diff has been on a mission to use fashion as a force for good. Committed to creating a world where everyone has equal access to the vision care they need, Diff has donated over 1,500,000 pairs of reading glasses and provided over 2 million people with care in the form of eye exams, surgeries, glasses and medicine. So when you purchase a pair, you’re not only protecting your eyes, you’re also protecting the eyes of someone in need.

Let my mistake be your lesson

I wish I could send my 25-year-old self a pair of Diffs and help her realize the importance of quality sunglasses and the positive impact it can have on your life. Instead, I hope you’ll take this advice and order yourself a pair of Diffs (or 2, or 3) that you’ll be sure to have for years to come. Your future is bright, you’re going to need quality shades.
