Sunglasses are a nonnegotiable in these dog days of summer and beyond, and we're bringing you some of the best pairs at every budget, so you can elevate your eyewear collection.

To kick things off, let's take a look at some popular eyewear brands that are celebrating the season with special collections that are fresh, stylish and only here for a limited time.

Sunglasses inspired by 'Wednesday'

The second season of Netflix's runaway hit show "Wednesday" -- from Alfred Gough, Miles Millar and Tim Burton -- has finally hit the streaming platform, and with it comes two collections of sunglasses inspired by everyone's favorite goth anti-hero, played masterfully by Jenna Ortega.

DIFF Eyewear's four-piece collection includes sunglasses named for and styled after four central characters: the eponymous Wednesday Addams, her cheery werewolf roommate Enid Sinclair, icy-eye siren Bianca Barclay and Nevermore's botany teacher in residence, Marilyn Thornhill.

Dime Optics offers a smaller selection of "Wednesday" looks that embody the graphic black-and-white colorblocking of the Burton universe with a bold, square frame done in two colorways: the Wednesday Addams, with its black and white square pattern, and the Nevermore Academy Uniform, which features gray and black vertical stripes across the bottom half of the frame.

Enid Sinclair

Retro and rosy, these sunnies take inspo from Enid's signature sweater and her positive outlook on life.

Bianca Barclay

Price: $98 · From DIFF Eyewear

Channel Bianca's piercing gaze with these icy, ultra-glam shades with gradient lenses for an air of mystery.

Wednesday Addams

Price: $98 · From DIFF Eyewear

Channel Wednesday's goth main character energy with these ultra-dark shades that promise to block out the UV rays (guaranteed) and ward off evil curses (we're guessing on that one). 

Marilyn Thornhill

Price: $98 · From DIFF Eyewear

Christina Ricci may have won the black hearts of the masses when she first played Wednesday more than three decades ago, but her new character Marilyn Thorhill is a bit more colorful as represented by these pearl blue sunglasses that offer elegance with a mysterious edge.

Trad goths and other quirky types will love these heavily Burton-esque shades inspired by the auteur's singular aesthetic vision, seen throughout his body of work.

Retro flip-up shades

Another standout is the Vontelle x DEEMED collection, created with "A Different World" actor Kadeem Hardison, whose character on the show, Dwayne Wayne, was known for his cool flip-up shades. The style promises a "blend of nostalgia, quality craftsmanship and a collaborative vision," all with an aviator shape that stands the test of time.

Clip On Flip Up Sunglasses in Metal Lightweight Aviator Frame - w/Magnetic Clip-On Technology

Price: $189 · From Amazon

As mentioned above, the Vontelle x DEEMED collection was created in collaboration with actor Kadeem Hardison to recreate his iconic character Dwayne Wayne's signature flip-up sunglasses. They still look cool after all this time, now with a nostalgic edge and an updated shape that looks great on anyone.

Revo limited edition

Revo has extra reason to celebrate as the brand marked its 40th year in the business with several pairs of handcrafted, individually numbered sunglasses released earlier this year, created with a timeless, sporty look with the company's signature advanced polarization. Only one style remains in stock, which we've linked below for you to browse.
