While everyone’s sifting through all the best Prime Day deals to pick up essentials like luggage sets, beauty buys (ahem, the Sunday Riley vitamin C serum) and trusty electric toothbrushes, I’m over here digging deep into all the best fashion finds on sale. And ladies, I’m happy to report that my Prime Day sleuthing did not fail us today. From today, July 16, through tomorrow, July 17, there are SO many amazing items on sale during Amazon Prime Day (sign up for a free 30-day trial of Prime now to take advantage of the deals), but arguably none as good as the designer-lookalike sunnies I spotted.

I kid you not, when I first glanced at the Sojos retro oval sunglasses, I did a double take—I thought they were the Celine Triomphe sunnies, which retail for a hefty $550. So you could imagine my delight when I discovered that these TikTok-viral sunglasses aren't just super affordable, but also on sale during Amazon Prime Day for just $13 (were $20).

If you haven’t already seen the viral TikTok video that creator and aesthetic nurse practitioner Miranda posted (shown above), which has already raked in over 833,00 views and counting, then allow me to do the honors. When Miranda discovered that popular social media creators were taking to the Amazon Sojos retro oval sunglasses, she decided to purchase them and compare and contrast them to her Celine Triomphe shades. To her surprise, the Sojos sunnies are nearly identical in shape, design and quality. “You can’t even tell the difference! I’m getting them mixed up right now,” she says.

The main difference, of course, is that the Sojos shades lack the recognizable designer logo etched into the metal arms, and instead feature a clean gold band that minimalists might actually prefer.

The trendy accessory is equipped with HD lenses that are designed to reduce glare and protect your eyes from UVA and UVB rays, per the brand, so they’re not *just* for looking good. Many buyers say that they’re lightweight yet still feel luxurious and well-made, as well as universally flattering and not oversized in the slightest. In other words, prepare to be swarmed with compliments when you wear these. “These were a fantastic find,” gushes one Amazon customer. “Inspired by Celine's iconic design, these sunglasses are super trendy and stylish. They offer great value for money, making them an affordable way to elevate my outfit. While I own other sunglasses with higher quality lenses, these are my go-to for style.”

You can dress these chic glasses down with a classic T-shirt and cutoff shorts, or dress 'em up by pairing with a summer sundress. Thanks to their versatility and quality, these affordable Celine alternatives are set to be the perfect finishing touch on any OOTD—and seriously, you just cannot beat them for the price.
