Massive sunglasses

I'm not a big sunglasses wearer but I'm going abroad for the first time in 8 years and I'd like to treat myself to some nice ones. I like the oversized ones, the bigger the better, as I think these suit me best. Can anyone recommend a good brand with a few shapes to try. Budget around £200. Thanks.

I'm not the most stylish so I'm really pleased that others like massive sunglasses just as much as me 😁

I'm loving all the Jackie Ohh love, glad it's not just me! Although now I really want a white pair...

Try firmoo or other online eyewear sellers. Wouldn’t dream to pay that much.
Even with prescription lenses before I discovered the wonderful world of online glasses I never paid more than £100 for a decent pair (that I still have 10y later)

I think Gucci and Dior do the best massive sunglasses. Dior would be over £200 but think you could get something from an authorised Gucci seller online.

Oversized is always in fashion. I like mine as big as possible. I probably look like a fly.

This did make me laugh thank you. Happy to join you being a fly!

I notice you say you are not a big sunglasses wearer. Please do wear sunglasses (with UVA and UVB protection) whenever you are in the sun. I was diagnosed with Age-related Macular Degeneration (AMD) at the age of 58. This was most likely caused by not wearing sunglasses when I was younger, or wearing cheap ones. The sun can also damage your retinas. AMD isn't much fun and if it gets very bad (like Dame Judy Dench), you can end up with no central vision at all.

Am so pleased you have taken this on board. You can obviously Google it to get more in depth information. Also, if you are in bright sunlight, you will tend to squint, so that is likely to cause wrinkles round your eyes as you get older.
