They're truly the perfect accessory, too. Sunglasses are available at a variety of price points allowing room to purchase them for a variety of budgets. They also come in so many shapes and colors that it's so easy to get addicted to collecting them. No wonder Elton John has hundreds and hundreds of pairs!
In honor of National Sunglasses Day -- which is a real holiday started by The Vision Council to highlight the importance of protecting your eyes from the sun's ultraviolet rays -- here are some of our favorite rock stars wearing sunglasses. Enjoy!
Billy Gibbons

Axl Rose

Slash

Stevie Nicks

Jimmy Page

Corey Taylor

Ozzy Osbourne
Larry Busacca/Getty ImagesAn icon, a legend and forever THE moment. We love you, Ozzy!
Bono
Chelsea Lauren/Getty ImagesFun fact: Bono often wears sunglasses due to the eye pain he experiences from glaucoma. Sure, it's a bummer he has that condition, but at least it gives him an excuse to always look like a rock star. (It's called finding the silver lining, people!)
Taylor Momsen

Bruce Springsteen
Michael Loccisano/Getty ImagesNot quite sure if The Boss in shades is a "Brilliant Disguise," but he sure does look cool.
Keith Richards

Paul McCartney

Mick Jagger
Roy Rochlin/Getty ImagesSure, these sunglasses Mick Jagger is wearing in this photo are great, but is the scarf he's wearing apricot? Oh, Mick...we bet you think this gallery is about you!
Elton John
