‘Cool’, inexpensive sunglasses?

Having just scratched my Raybans 😬 I’ve decided that I’ve had it with expensive (for me, anyway!) sunnies. Would quite like to build up a little collection of cheaper ones anyhow. Don’t mind if they’re a bit quirky... please recommend me some, lovely peeps?

I've been impressed with some in Primark (no good as shut) & Topshop in recent seasons. Also try ASOS.

Goodr if you have them there $US25. Lightweight, polarised, keep releasing fun designs and will send free replacements or lenses in the first year id they are damaged!

Monki, H&M, &otherstories

I bought a cheap pair from ASOS last year and love them - don't think I'd bother buying another pair of raybans now!

Thanks so much for the replies so far! I’ll take a look at all the recommended sites. 😀 I’ve been looking at Meller sunglasses - does anyone have any experience of them?

I always buy myself a pair of RayBans twice a year at the airport. 😭
I’ve missed having new ones so much this past year!! Currently just using the older ones but I just really like them so will always buy them. No help really, you just reminded me of another thing I’ve missed out on Grin

I had lovely Fossil ones. Not cheap cheap but less than Raybans and lasted ages.

Zampa · 27/02/2021 23:38

If you can wait until Primark opens they do great Ray-Ban "tributes".

Christ! How many pairs of sunglasses do you own?

(Unless you lose at least one pair a year!).

Have a look at TKmaxx they are getting all the new stock in.

Jigsaw, do your self a favour and keep well away from ordering anything from them. (22 days and counting waiting for a refund)

These probably don’t come under inexpensive necessarily, but I wouldn’t say they are designer expensive and they are made completely from recycling sea plastic, which I think is pretty cool.

Range of styles, really nice: waterhaul.co/eyewear/

TheChosenTwo · 28/02/2021 09:22

@Iamthewombat well I think 12, but I’ve definitely damaged a few over the years. Only ever lost 1 pair! The damaged ones are because I literally wear them all year round and I’m not careful with them, I don’t use the case unless I’m putting them away to swap them out for another pair. I Chuck them in my bag/coat pocket/car door etc, some of them got truly battered!

I really like & Other Stories for sunglasses, and also got a lovely pair in the Oliver Bonas sale recently.
