As a deals writer, I keep strict tabs onNordstrom Rack’s sale section. Designereyewearand accessories are discounted year-round, but I noticed a surplus of “dude”sunglasseswent on clearance a couple of weeks ago, plenty of which are still in stock today. Seeing howFather’s Dayis next weekend, now is a great time to grab the dad in your life a pair on sale — Oakleys are 63 percent off, Tom Ford navigators over half off, and I even found a pair of Meta Ray-Bans for 20 percent off at Amazon. The deals are so good that I’m probably buying a pair for my own dad, whose 60-year-old retinas need all the protection they can get (per his doctor). These are the 13 sunglasses I recommend buying.
Deals I think are the best
Not all dude sunglasses look exactly the same, and these are my three top picks for different types of dads. The Oakleys are, in my opinion, the most practical dad sunglasses around and have a rare deal you can’t find anywhere else at the moment. The Tom Fords have the steepest discount on this list and are a great gift for dads who have nice fashion sense. And, Ray-Ban Clubmasters look good on practically everyone, so it’s hard to go wrong when gifting a pair — especially since they’re now under $100.

These simple Oakleys are my top pick and currently retail for $100-plus at both Oakley and Amazon, so $50 is an absolute bargain.

Some more crowd-pleasing sunglasses that work well with flatter nose bridges (shout-out to Ray-Ban’s comfortable nose pads). The round lenses offer a softer look that’s great for preppy wardrobes.

Quite the opposite, these wraparound glasses have a much edgier, sporty look — kind of like a pair of Oakleys.
Tom Ford

Fashionable dads do, in fact, exist. If yours dresses to the nines, there’s a handful of good Tom Ford deals. These luxe navigators are 57 percent off, for example.
