There's never a bad time to purchase a new pair of sunglasses, and this season, there are a few key eyewear styles we're investing in to wear with all of our favorite outfits. Sporty pairs with reflective lenses, sleek Y2K styles, and classic square frames are just a few we're eyeing right now. To see how our favorite pairs look IRL, we tapped a few stylish friends, including two Who What Wear editors and one fashion content creator, to go into their local Sunglass Hut store to try them on. They discovered the best sunglasses that we can't wait to get our hands on, all of which are exclusively sold at the retailer. This eyewear also makes the perfect holiday gift, striking the balance between personal and practical. See our top eyewear picks below whether you plan to keep them for yourself or wrap them up for someone special.

"Recently, I've been loving eyewear that incorporates different metals like stainless steel or gold. I am able to match the metals to my jewelry, which adds dimension and fun to an outfit. I adore the Versace sunglasses because they truly embody my personal style. I was immediately drawn to their elevated look and uniqueness!" — Victoria Herran, Miami-based content creator

"These Burberry sunglasses are all about the intricate details. They add just the right amount of color to any outfit and are effortlessly chic. These would make an ideal holiday gift for my mom, as she can effortlessly rock this color and style of eyewear." — Herran

"These beautiful gray sunglasses add a touch of sophistication to any outfit. The combination of gray and silver detailing creates a sleek and polished look." — Herran

"First of all, these Oakleys are remarkably lightweight. I could easily spend a whole day running around town and forget they're even on my face. The multicolor chrome finish is so pretty to look at with its kaleidoscope of blue and purple. Oakleys are a great gift because they're incredibly durable. My dad and brothers are all obsessed with their respective sport be it golf or skiing, so a pair of sunglasses like these are 100% on my gifting list for all of them, too." — Anna LaPlaca, New York based fashion editor, Who What Wear

"Why be boring when you can wear these epic Versace shield sunglasses? With all things Y2K coming back in full force, I love that these tap into the nostalgic look and don't skimp on style. Nope, wearing these isn't for the fashion-shy, but the risk of wearing a statement piece like this comes with an even bigger reward when you inevitably pull it off. While my first thought is that these are a pair of fashion frames, I would actually 100% bring them on my next ski trip since their mirrored lenses are ideal for reflecting the harsh sun. After test-driving them, I'm immediately putting them on the gifting list for my trendiest friends." — LaPlaca

"I typically gravitate toward a really classic, sleek style—something with a sturdy, rectangular frame. The gold detailing makes this pair feel so fun and glamorous, and I love how oversized they are." — Emma Hughes, Los Angeles based associate social media editor, Who What Wear

"These are such a classic style that pretty much everyone needs in their collection. They're so wearable, and I love a sturdier frame for winter months, so these will be absolutely perfect as a holiday gift. They also add a subtle pop of navy blue to your outfit." — Hughes

"I feel like I'm in sport mode with these Oakley sunglasses. I love to hike and don't like taking my super-chic sunglasses with me, so I feel like these will be perfect for outdoor winter activities." — Hughes
