March Shades Club Review and Coupon

After some shipping issues for January and February, I finally got a new pair of shades from Shades Club for March!

*Disclaimer: This box was purchased by See, Shop, Love! at a discounted rate in exchange for an honest review.


Shades Club sends stylish, high-quality shades each month in men's and women's styles. The shades are made in the same factories as much higher cost brands and are, in my experience, just as great of quality, if not better!

I previously mentioned that there was a bit of a shipping issue with my past two boxes. None of it was the fault of Shades Club; it appears that my two boxes were somehow hung up by USPS and were not delivered. Shades Club customer service was great and immediately refunded me. This is the only time I've had an issue with the boxes being delivered.

That being said, here are the pricing options:
  • Monthly: $29 per month
  • Four Months: $112 every four months/$28 per month (one month free)
  • Six Months: $162 every six months/$27 per month (1.5 months free)
  • Yearly: $288 every 12 months/$24 per month (two months free)
Shipping is free to the U.S. with all subscription options. You can also buy individual pairs and accessories in the Shop.


The March shades are the Summer Vacay design in "The Shore," which is currently sold out on their site. The lenses are rounded and the frames have a fun black and clear houndstooth pattern. The lenses have an Ice Blue tint and are polarized with 100 percent UVA/UVB protection.

As you can see in the photo above, Shades Club adds their logo on the front of the left lens, which is a nice little detail.


There's also a metallic logo treatment on the left arm of the frames.


Another detail I love about Shades Club is that their shades often have quotes on the insides of the frames. This pair says "If it feels good, do it."
Bottom Line: All of the sunglasses I've gotten from Shades Club have been excellent quality in a variety of stylish designs. I think they're a steal at $29 per month for a pair of polarized shades. The March shades are really cute and are perfect for upcoming spring weather!

November and December Shades Club Review and 50% Off Coupon

I mixed up my Shades Club reviews! I marked last month's as November, but it was actually my shipment for October. This month I'm posting November and December together because, due to holiday shipping craziness, I didn't get my November Shades until mid-December.

*Disclaimer: These boxes were purchased by See, Shop, Love! at a discounted rate in exchange for an honest review.


Shades Club sends a pair of stylish, high quality shades for men and women each month. You can choose Men's or Women's when you sign up. Their shades are manufactured in the same places as brands that sell at much higher price points, and in my opinion, they are just as great of quality (if not better)!

Here are their pricing options:
  • Monthly: $29 per month
  • Four Months: $112 every four months/$28 per month (one month free)
  • Six Months: $162 every six months/$27 per month (1.5 months free)
  • Yearly: $288 every 12 months/$24 per month (two months free)
Shipping is free to the U.S. with all subscription options. You can also buy individual pairs and accessories in the Shop.



I'm in love with the November shades! They're the Day-Trippers style in Fire Island. The warm tones of the mirrored lenses are absolutely gorgeous, and they pop especially well against the bold black frames. They're also branded with the Shades name/logo on the left lens, as you can see in the second photo above.

Each pair of shades will also come with a microfiber drawstring carrying case that doubles as a cleaning cloth.



The shades are also branded on the inside of the arms with the name of the style and color and a fun "Best Day Ever" message.


Shades Club also updated their packaging for November and December, which I really appreciate. Shades previously shipped in a box inside of a box, which is kind of wasteful, even if both were recyclable. Now they're packed in a sturdy cardboard box that's smaller in size.



The December Shades are called The Everyday in the Shades Club Blue color. They're a wayfarer shape with plastic frames in the same blue color as the frames. The color is really interesting for winter, not what I would expect, but surprisingly apropos. They remind me of icy winter weather.


These are also branded with the Shades logo on the lens and arms.
Bottom Line: The November and December Shades Club sunglasses are amazing! I love both of them for their bold colors and sturdy frames. They fit my face shape well and are excellent quality.

October Shades Club Review and Coupon

Even though it's winter where I live now, sunglasses are still a must have. They're even more important if you live in an area with a lot of snow like I do, since the reflection of the sun can bounce back off the snow. Shades Club is a great way to keep your sunglasses collection fresh all year!

*Disclaimer: This box was purchased by See, Shop, Love! at a discounted rate in exchange for an honest review.


Shades Club has men's and women's subscriptions with free shipping and returns on every order. They have a 30-day return or exchange policy and a lifetime warranty on every pair of shades.

Here are their pricing options:
  • Monthly: $29 per month
  • Four Months: $112 every four months/$28 per month (one month free)
  • Six Months: $162 every six months/$27 per month (1.5 months free)
  • Yearly: $288 every 12 months/$24 per month (two months free)
Shipping is free to the U.S. with all subscription options. You can also buy individual pairs and accessories in the Shop.


Shades Club manufactures their sunglasses in the same factories as brands that sell at much higher prices. I've owned shades from some of the more expensive brands, and I can confidently say that the Shades Club pairs are just as great, if not better!

Each pair will come with a microfiber bag that doubles as a cleaning cloth.


The October women's shades are a kind of circular/aviator shape blend with an orange and pink gradient on the lenses and gold hardware. The arms of the shades are a tortoiseshell pattern.

I love the mirroring and gradient on the lenses; they both look so pretty! The frames are nice and sturdy, too. The shape of the lens is interesting, usually I go more for square or aviator shaped lenses, but these work pretty well with my face shape still.
Bottom Line: Shades Club is so fun! I love being surprised by what sunglasses they send each month. The fact that you can return or exchange within 30 days is also a great deal, just in case you get a pair that really doesn't work for you (though I doubt that'll happen!).

September Shades Club Review and Coupon

Shades Club is a fun and affordable way to build your sunglasses collection! Their shades are high quality and made in the same factories as much more expensive brands.

*Disclaimer: This box was purchased by See, Shop, Love! at a discounted rate in exchange for an honest review.


Shades Club has a men's and women's subscription that delivers one pair of sunglasses a month for $29. Here are their pricing options:
  • Monthly: $29 per month
  • Four Months: $112 every four months/$28 per month (one month free)
  • Six Months: $162 every six months/$27 per month (1.5 months free)
  • Yearly: $288 every 12 months/$24 per month (two months free)


The September Shades were a feminine cat eye style with tortoiseshell patterned frames. Each pair of shades comes with a microfiber carrying case that doubles as a cleaning cloth. The shade are also polarized.


The Shades Club branding is found on the inside of the arms of these sunglasses. Sometimes they have the logo on the corner of one of the lenses.

The September shades are more circular, which isn't the best for my face shape, but they're durable and I know the style is pretty popular.
Bottom Line: I always look forward to my Shades Club box. Even though not every pair might be 100 percent my style, it's fun to see what they include.

August Shades Club Review and Coupon

The August Shades Club sunglasses were some of my favorites yet! The style is great and the construction high quality, as always.

*Disclaimer: This box was purchased by See, Shop, Love! at a discounted rate in exchange for an honest review.


Shades Club is $29 per month for a pair of stylish sunglasses. They have men's and women's styles that are manufactured in the same places as more expensive brands.

Here are their pricing options:
  • Monthly: $29 per month
  • Four Months: $112 every four months/$28 per month (one month free)
  • Six Months: $162 every six months/$27 per month (1.5 months free)
  • Yearly: $288 every 12 months/$24 per month (two months free)
You can also purchase past shades on the Shades Club website for $75 per pair.


Each set of shades comes in a drawstring bag that doubles as a microfiber cloth for cleaning. You'll also get a folding carrying case with your first order, and other accessories may be included in future boxes.


The August shades are the Jetsetter aviators. Aviators are my favorite lens shape and the reflective surface looks so sharp! All of the Shades Club sunglasses are also polarized.

You can also see in the photo above that the left lens is branded with the "Shades" logo. It's discreet but a nice detail. The lenses have 100 percent UVA/UVB protection, too.


The arms of these sunglasses are a tortoiseshell pattern with "Shades Club x Barbella" written on the inside. It looks like these were made in partnership with the BarBella subscription and were featured in their April 2019 box.
Bottom Line: These Jetsetter aviators are the perfect style for me! I love that they're a high quality and polarized for only $29 per month. That price is insane! I can think of a similar brand that charges over $200 for polarized lenses, and I've had that brand, and these are much better quality.

July Shades Club Review and Coupon

If you like sunglasses as much as I do, check out Shades Club! They send high quality, polarized shades each month in a variety of designs.

*Disclaimer: This box was purchased by See, Shop, Love! at a discounted rate in exchange for an honest review.


Shades Club delivers great shades at affordable prices. They have subscriptions for men and women without the pricey markup that most sunglasses have.

Here are their pricing options:
  • Monthly: $29 per month
  • Four Months: $112 every four months/$28 per month (one month free)
  • Six Months: $162 every six months/$27 per month (1.5 months free)
  • Yearly: $288 every 12 months/$24 per month (two months free)
You can also purchase past shades on the Shades Club website for $75 per pair.


Each delivery includes the sunglasses and a microfiber carrying case that doubles as a cleaning cloth. Your first month will also include a fold up carrying case, and future boxes may contain other accessories.

The July shades are called "The Everyday" and I got the color "Blackout." They're classic, simple, and just my style. The lenses are polarized and are a smoke gray color, with 100 percent UVA/UVB protection.


Another thing I like about Shades Club is the "Shades" branding they add on the top of the left lens (and along the arms, as you can see in the photo above).



The name of the design (first photo above) and "Wake up, repeat" are printed on the insides of the arms.
Bottom Line: I love The Everyday Shades! I'm a fan of simple black shades and these are the perfect design and shape for me. I also like that all of the Shades Club sunglasses come with polarized lenses. You really can't beat the price of $29 per month for that!

June Shades Club Review and Coupon

Shades Club is a great way to grow your sunglasses collection! They have high quality shades for men and women in a variety of stylish designs.

*Disclaimer: This box was purchased by See, Shop, Love! at a discounted price in exchange for an honest review.


Shades Club sends one pair of sunglasses each month with a microfiber carrying case that doubles as a cleaning cloth. Shipping is free and returns are also free within 30 days.

Here are the pricing options:
  • Monthly: $29 per month
  • Four Months: $112 every four months/$28 per month (one month free)
  • Six Months: $162 every six months/$27 per month (1.5 months free)
  • Yearly: $288 every 12 months/$24 per month (two months free)
You can also purchase past shades on the Shades Club website for $75 per pair.


The women's shades for June are plastic frames with a tortoiseshell pattern. The frames are a bit more on the square side, which I prefer for my face shape. Usually there's an insert with the name of the style, but this month my box did not have one.


These shades are also not branded with the usual Shades Club logo on the arms of the frames and on the lenses. I still really like this design, though. I think it would be pretty flattering on most face shapes.

Bottom Line: Shades Club has sent me some really great sunglasses and I love seeing what style they send each month! All of the shades have been great quality and I think this subscription is an excellent value.

May Shades Club Review and Coupon

I'm always so excited to get my monthly Shades Club package! Their designs are fun and high quality and it's a great surprise to open them up each month.

*Disclaimer: This box was purchased by See, Shop, Love! at a discounted rate in exchange for an honest review.


Shades Club has men's and women's subscriptions with free shipping and free returns (within 30 days) on every order. Each month you'll receive a pair of unique sunglasses with a microfiber carrying case that doubles as a cleaning cloth.

Here are the pricing options:
  • Monthly: $29 per month
  • Four Months: $112 every four months/$28 per month (one month free)
  • Six Months: $162 every six months/$27 per month (1.5 months free)
  • Yearly: $288 every 12 months/$24 per month (two months free)
You can also purchase past shades on the Shades Club website for $75 per pair.


 Shades Club manufactures their products in the same factories as some of the higher end brands and every pair I've gotten has been excellent quality. To be completely honest, I wear my Jetsetter Aviators way more than the Ray-Bans I purchased for a lot more money! The Shades Club aviators are much sturdier.


The May Shades are named "Day-Trippers" and came in a muted pink shade. I love the shape and the thick frame, but pink isn't my first choice of color. I'll still wear these though and I think the color is fun for summer. I usually buy dark blue or black shades, so it's probably a good thing for me to throw in a little unexpected color here and there.

You can see from the photo above that the "Shades" name and logo is printed on the left arm and is also etched into the left lens (top right corner of the lens).



I also like how Shades Club adds the name of the design and other fun text on the inside of the arms. It just adds an extra touch of detail.
Bottom Line: I'm pretty much obsessed with Shades Club at this point! I love getting new, fun designs each month and I'm always excited to see what new sunnies I'll have to add to my collection.

April Shades Club Review and Coupon

Summer's coming, so now is the perfect time to build up your sunglasses collection. Shades Club is a fun and easy way to do so, as they send high quality sunglasses of all different designs each month.

*Disclaimer: This box was purchased by See, Shop, Love! at a discounted rate in exchange for an honest review.



Shades Club sends a pair of sunglasses valued at around $100 for only $45 each month. All of the shades I've gotten have been great quality, comparable to brands at much higher price points.

Here are their pricing options:
  • Monthly: $45
  • 4 Months: $112 ($28 per box)
  • 6 Months: $162 ($27 per box)
  • 12 Months: $288 ($24 per box)
All orders ship with free 2-3 day shipping to the U.S. and international shipping prices vary based on the destination.



The Shades for April are the Nantucket Summer Vacay style. Each pair comes with a microfiber drawstring bag for storage that doubles as a lens cloth. Boxes sometimes also include extras, like a sunglass hanging kit. Your first box will come with the Shades branded fold up case (see that here).


I'm not quite sure what to call this style, as they're kind of wayfarers but have round lenses. The frames are a speckled black and white/clear pattern and the lenses are a purple/blue tint. You can see the branded "Shades" logo in the left hand lens in the photo above.



The arms of the glasses also have the style name and "If it feels good, do it" written on the insides, which I think is a fun addition to the design. The arms are sturdy, but I found that when I first unfolded them they had a little bit of resistance, so I was afraid I was going to snap them (no worries, though, the frames are well made, I was just being extra cautious).

This style is not the best for my face shape (I look best in squarer lenses), but I love the frames and the colored tint on the lenses. It's always fun to see what design will be in my Shades Club box every month, and they certainly send a great variety of styles!
Bottom Line: The Summer Vacay - Nantucket shades are the most colorful design I've gotten yet, and they're definitely suited for East Coast beach life!

March Shades Club Review and Coupon

I've become a big of a sunglasses addict, and Shades Club makes it easy to add to my collection. They send high quality shades each month, all in different stylish designs!

*Disclaimer: This box was purchased by See, Shop, Love! at a discounted rate in exchange for an honest review.


Shades Club sends a pair of sunglasses valued at around $100 for only $45 each month. They're manufactured in the same factories as the world's best brands and are incredible quality. The style and color is a surprise each month, but all of the shades I've gotten thus far have been excellent and it's fun to be surprised.

Here are their pricing options:
  • Monthly: $45
  • 4 Months: $112 ($28 per box)
  • 6 Months: $162 ($27 per box)
  • 12 Months: $288 ($24 per box)
All orders ship with free 2-3 day shipping to the U.S. and international shipping prices vary based on the destination.


The March Shades are called Rivieria and are available in four different color combinations. I received the tortoiseshell pattern. I think this style is generally called "clubmaster," and I really like the shape. I didn't have a pair like this previously, so this is a great addition to my collection.

As you can see, each pair also comes with a microfiber case that can be used as a cleaning cloth. You may also receive extra items here and there, such as a sunglass hanging kit or branded koozie. Your first box will come with the Shades branded fold up case (see that here).



The sunglasses are branded with the Shades logo in a few places, including the arms and on one ofthe lenses. The branding is perfect because it's subtle and still looks great.


The inside of the arms for this particular pair of Shades also has the Riviera style name and the Cozumel color name listed. The other color options are Playa, Tulum, and Holbox. You can purchase individual pairs of Shades from past boxes at their website.
Bottom Line: The March Shades Club box had another great pair of sunglasses! I absolutely love the Riviera style and the tortoiseshell pattern. They're making me anxious for summertime!

February Shades Club Review and Coupon

Shades Club sends high quality shades of varying styles for men and women. I've gotten three boxes so far and I've been pleasantly impressed by their shades!

*Disclaimer: This box was purchased by See, Shop, Love! at a discounted rate in exchange for an honest review.


Shades Club manufactures their products in the same factories as the world's best brands, and each pair is valued at around $100. Many of the shades are polarized, and all are excellent quality. They have four subscription prices:
  • Monthly: $45
  • 4 Months: $112 ($28 per box)
  • 6 Months: $162 ($27 per box)
  • 12 Months: $288 ($24 per box)
All orders ship with free 2-3 day shipping to the U.S. and international shipping prices vary based on the destination.


The February box featured the Yacht Party shades. Each pair will come in a microfiber carrying case that also doubles as a cleaning cloth. I really appreciate the cloth, since I hate when I get smudges on my sunglasses while driving and have nothing adequate to wipe them off on (your shirt just never quite does the trick).


I love the color of the lenses -- they fade from a deep blue to a light gold, just like the gold on the frames. These are another pair of beautiful Shades from Shades Club!


As always, the Shades logo is branded on the arm of the lens. Boxes also come with extra items on occasion, like branded koozies or a sunglass hanging kit. Your first month will include the branded fold up case (see that here).
Bottom Line: I've gotten three pairs of Shades Club shades and all of them have been great. I like that they send all different shapes and sizes, especially since I wouldn't usually try a pair of this shape otherwise. $45 is a great price for such high quality shades!
