New York Fashion Week is usually packed with people wearing the latest designer pieces, from Prada to Chanel, and this season was hardly an exception to that rule—in all but one category, that is. Every other season, a mix of luxury sunglasses brands was represented, with prices ranging from $300 to $800. This time, though, I only took notice of one pair. Funnily enough, I was wearing the style, too, and have been for about four months now. I packed other options but only ended up wearing this pair. No deviations—not once.

The sunglasses in question? Ray-Ban Wayfarers, the Levi’s 501 of eyewear. They’re classic, somehow complement everyone’s face shape, and at $191, won’t break the bank or drive you insane if, after a year or two, you leave your pair in a restaurant booth or forget them in a hotel-room bathroom. Plus, they go with everything.
