Can I have some inspiration please? Must be proper uva/uvb ones though.

Not sure that they are still in fashion but I can't see past my Ray Bans Aviators.
Have had them years and love them.
Will be straight out to get another pair if anything ever happens to them.
knocks wood hoping nothing ever will

Yy Raybans, the only sunglasses that stop me from getting a headache in the sun.

Rathkelter · 06/05/2018 21:56

TK Maxx sell lots of decent brands like Polaroid which are a fraction of the price of Raybans. Not that I'd turn down a pair of them, though...

Oakley

BBB with 3 interchangeable lenses for cycling

Love my ray bans. Only sunglasses which have ever lasted me more than 1 year (others either break or i've gone off the style) and I've had them for 4 years this year. Cost per year I'm winning.

Bought Tom Ford sunglasses from Brandalley 4 years ago and still great

IrregularCommentary · 06/05/2018 22:49

Also love my ray bans. Worth getting the polarised lenses, they make such a huge difference.

Pricey, but they're in their 4th year this year and in perfect condition and I still love them.

I used to replace cheaper ones every year, so cost per wear is no different so far.

Bratsandtwats · 07/05/2018 16:00

Thanks guys, will bear them in mind. Need to just try loads
on I think.

I currently have 3 pairs. Boden ones like these but without the pink bits.
Ted Baker ones but they are a couple of years old I can't find them online and Freedom Polarised for outdoors stuff

pigpoglet · 07/05/2018 17:13

I have ray ban aviators And also wayfarers which are polarised .. I love them! .. the aviators are the smallest size which don't come I polarised but look better on my face .

rightknockered · 07/05/2018 17:19

I love my Rayban aviators, they're polarised, and I have them in my handbag every day. I should probably get a spare pair just in case

SporkInTheToaster · 07/05/2018 17:23

I have classic ‘tortoiseshell’ RayBan Wayfarers (prescription). The medium frame sized ones, the original size. Polarised lenses.

Aviators look awful on my face. They ‘drag’ it down.

I also have a pair of big Jackie O style Ralph Lauren ones, also polarised & prescription.

I’m eyeing up the 4311 cat eyed ones from D&G, too.

LoveInTokyo · 07/05/2018 17:47

I have the tortoiseshell Rayban wayfarers and I love them. I’ve looked after them well but they are still perfect after about 4 years.

Oldraver · 07/05/2018 18:13

I bought a pair of Poloroid from the chemists a couple of years ago...I needed some with polorizing (sp?) lenses but didnt want to pay a fortune in case I broke them run over them with the car

My optician lent me a pair of Wafyarers and while they were lovely I didnt actually like the design or the price

tierraJ · 07/05/2018 20:05

I've got Vogue prescription sunglasses that are also polarised

bellsbuss · 07/05/2018 20:11

Ray ban aviators for me too though my younger sister says they are old fashioned. I don't care as I love them

DeltaG · 07/05/2018 20:58

I really like Chanel for sunglasses. I've got 4 pairs but my favourite are a Jackie O style with a kind of black lace pattern on the arms.

I also just bought a black ombré aviator style pair from Oz brand Quay, which I'm very happy with.

Love sunglasses. Instant glamour + eye wrinkle protection 😎

BubblesBubblesBubbles · 07/05/2018 21:32

Oakley’s and ray bans.

I love love love my oakleys. I have 3 pairs Blush

I also have a pair of Michael Kors aviator ones, 2 x pairs of pradas (which are expensive but crap) but I always go back to my oakleys. Ray bans are my 2nd choice.

CognitiveDissonance · 08/05/2018 08:21

I have RayBan Clubmasters with Polarised lenses and I adore them!

0ccamsRazor · 08/05/2018 08:58

I have 2 pairs of ray-bans (round frames) flash lenses which are fabulous. A pair of titanium ck frames with transitional lenses, I wear these a lot, as I can wear them indoors (lense changes to clear) or outdoors (darkens with uv light). Which is great as I am often in and out all day. I also have some very dark lends cats eye dkny sunnies, which are pretty good.

For me it is worth investing in good sunnies as I have light sensitivity and wear them all year.

Onthewrongsideof30 · 08/05/2018 09:10

Persol - they designed all of James bond's sunnies and have a stunning range now. Just enough detailing to look different from classic ray bans, but with looking OTT.
