Once associated with practical dads or grade school librarians, sunglasses chains have come a long way. Designers have reworked them with gold chains, baroque pearls, and other new materials that help add interest to even the most boring pairs of sunnies (because let's be real, those are the ones you wear daily). Even better, they ensure you'll never lose your favorite pair of shades again. Shop 15 chic options, ahead.
