If you need a wardrobe injection this summer, a pair of sunnies is the ideal way to score a new look without breaking the bank.

Here are some of the best places to look:

QUAY

QUAY eyewear has teamed up with The Australian Open this year to help you look fabulous while you're playing - or watching - tennis.

Call the shots, $65

These medium-sized sunnies bring some edge to a cat's-eye shape.

They have a premium injection frame, gold detailing, and a modern silhouette.

High Key Mini, $75

If traditional aviator-style sunnies swamp your face, these are for you.

These are a scaled-down version of the High Key model, with flat lenses and signature triangle notches, perfect for petite faces.
