Living in Manhattan can occasionally present quite the challenge. Some days, I want to pop out of my apartment to run an errand in my at-home wardrobe, but the social anxiety gets to me, and

I feel the need to throw on a look of some sort. The fact that almost everyone I know probably walks past my apartment on a weekly basis presents me with the fear of an unprepared run-in while I am simply not looking my best. No matter where you live, we certainly have all faced that fear, and you are most definitely not alone. When I start to feel that anxiety creep in, I lean on my sunglass collection, which is now extremely easy to access thanks to the organizer I found (best $10 I ever spent, IMO). While I certainly don't need to care so much about what others think, the confidence that comes with presenting myself as my best always makes such a difference every day.

Well, what if I told you that you can look on-trend and super chic instantly with just one accessory, one that often comes in at under $20 a pop? Well, that is most certainly the truth when it comes to sunglasses, and I am here to help you update your collection to the new 2022 standards that are total game changers when it comes to making you feel all dressed up. All that you'll need to make that favorite loungewear set stand out is your new-year sunglasses and a chic coat. I'll get you started on those new beginnings with the picks below.
