Aviator sunglasses—especially black sunglasses with orange lenses—have mesmerized us fashion girlies for years. The trend is still just as popular in 2025, though we’ve expanded on our preferred color combos for aviator sunglasses with blue lenses, classic black-on-black looks, and timeless brown tones, too.
When we want to try a trend, we always turn to QUAY sunglasses for the high-quality construction, fun designs, and relatively budget-friendly price tags (at least compared to some of the other best sunglasses brands and designers out there). But, sometimes we just want a cheap pair that allows us to test out the trend without the investment and ensures we won’t be so precious about taking them out for a spin at the beach, pool, theme park, and anywhere else sunglasses go to get lost.
So, when we recently scrolled through Amazon to stock up on spring sunglasses (this temporary change in weather has us absolutely feral for warmer weather) and found a pair that looks super similar to the QUAY On The Fly Sunglasses we’ve had our eyes on—but for under $20—it was a no-brainer add-to-cart-moment.
If you want to splurge on these shades, now is the best time to do so. The QUAY buy-one-get-one-free sale runs through March 2, so you can snag a pair of the On The Fly Sunglasses in two different colors, or mix it up with a different style. If you need help choosing a second pair, we also love the Set List, the Vibe Check, and the Tempted styles. Or, you can opt for that trendy black and orange sunglasses style with the Sound Check.
The Best Budget-Friendly Aviator Sunglasses
are one of the best QUAY sunglasses dupes on Amazon we’ve seen so far. While some of the shades aren’t exact, these are similar enough to pass as QUAY aviator dupes—and for $15 a pop, we aren’t picky.
We love that these shades come in 16 different color combinations, including the trendy sunglasses with orange lenses, plus some other options we’re eyeing for spring (like the green frames with pink lenses and the brown transparent frames with brown lenses).
Just like the QUAY sunglasses, these are lightweight and comfortable enough for long wear. They also feature UV400 lenses that shield and protect your eyes from the sun, and they have reinforced metal hinges for a more durable design.
