Ray Ban offers a feminine take on its classic Wayfarer sunglasses with the Caribbean. The lines and finer details that made the Wayfarer so popular are retained, but Ray Ban's added some gentle curves and feminine flair.

For sunglasses that refuse to bend to changing trends, look no further than these traditionally styled shades from casual American fashion label Banana Republic. Not that the Anja sunglasses don't look modern; the bold rectangular frames, discreet Banana Republic monogram, and retro tortoiseshell coloring are right on trend.
