Every adult needs at least one pair of really good sunglasses. And by “good,” I mean comfortable, flattering, durable enough to survive being tossed into an overstuffed tote bag, and, most importantly, designed to actually stay on your face.

I’m not especially picky about frame shape. I love everything from oversized Jackie O.-inspired frames to tiny ‘90s-style lenses. My only dealbreaker is a pair that constantly slides down my nose or requires nonstop adjusting every time I move my head an inch. Of course, with summer heat waves on the horizon, staying put through sweat, sunscreen, and humidity is especially crucial.

Sunscreen and summer temperatures aside, I also have a narrower-than-average temple distance, which makes finding a pair of shades that fit even more challenging.

If you also spend your summers aggressively pushing your sunglasses back up your face while driving, walking, or simply existing outdoors, you probably know exactly what I’m talking about. Some sunglasses look great in theory, but become unbearably annoying the second you start moving around. Others pinch your temples, snag your hair, or somehow manage to leave marks on your nose after a mere twenty minutes.

After testing more pairs than I’d like to admit, I’ve finally found a handful that check every box: lightweight without feeling flimsy, comfortable enough for all-day wear, flattering on the face, and blessedly resistant to slipping and sliding. Check out my favorite anti-slip sunglasses below.

Carfia Small Face Acetate Polarized Sunglasses

These accessibly priced sunglasses not only look way more expensive than they are, but they’re also designed specifically for small faces, which allows for an extra snug fit. The lightweight frames don’t have gravity working against them, and (crucially) they stay securely on my face when I move my head around.

$50

Quince Venice Polarized Sunglasses

Quince makes premium-quality sunglasses up to par with high-end pairs, but at a fraction of the price. I love this ‘90s-coded round pair. The frames are super thin, lightweight steel, and sized perfectly for narrower faces.

Sojos Small Round Classic Polarized Sunglasses

I’ve purchased these Amazon sunglasses multiple times over the last few years. They have a smaller fit that resists slipping, but they’re not so small that they pinch or tug on my ears.
