We’re Julien & Akka — and we’re obsessed with sunglasses.
Not in a collector-hoarding-hundreds-of-pairs way (well, maybe a little). But in a we genuinely care about what goes on your face and what actually protects your eyes kind of way.
We started Top Sunglasses because we were tired of the same problem every time we needed a new pair: endless articles full of vague advice, no real testing, and recommendations that felt more like ads than honest opinions.
So we decided to build the resource we always wished existed.

What we do here
───────────────────────────
Every review, guide, and comparison on this site comes from real research — digging into lens technology, frame materials, UV ratings, and what actual users say after months of wear. We don’t just repeat what’s on the brand’s website. We go deeper.
At Top Sunglasses, you’ll find:
• Honest reviews of specific models — the good, the bad, and the deal-breakers
• Buying guides to help you choose the right pair for your face shape, lifestyle, or budget
• Brand comparisons so you know exactly what you’re getting before you spend your money
• Practical tips on care, maintenance, and getting the most out of your sunglasses

Who we are
───────────────────────────
Julien Meliani has been passionate about eyewear, fashion, and the outdoor lifestyle for years. Whether it’s tracking down the best polarized lenses for a bright day on the water or figuring out which frames actually fit a wider face — this is the kind of research he genuinely enjoys.
Akka Jilali brings a sharp eye for style and a practical approach to product testing. He’s the one who digs into the details — build quality, lens coatings, hinge durability — the things most reviews gloss over.
Together, we’ve tested dozens of pairs across different price ranges, from budget picks under $30 to premium frames pushing $300+. Our goal is simple: save you time, save you money, and make sure your eyes are properly protected.

A note on independence
───────────────────────────
Top Sunglasses is an independent blog. We’re not sponsored by any brand, and we don’t let anyone pay for a positive review. When we recommend something, it’s because we genuinely believe it’s worth your money.
Some links on this site may be affiliate links, which means we earn a small commission if you buy through them — at no extra cost to you. This helps keep the site running. But it never influences what we recommend.
