Fashionable but useful sunglasses.

    My boyf is buying me sunglasses for my birthday. I'd love Ray Bans but his budget doesn't stretch to that. Basically, I want useful sunglasses that actually protect the eyes from strong sunshine as I'm going on my first sun holiday this year, but still look good. :cool:

    Has anyone got any recommendations? Thanks!

    My recommenadation would be to buy sunglasses with polarised lenses. The Polaroid brand is relatively cheap (I think about €40 a pair) but meets that criteria.

    Polarised, that's the phrase I was looking for, thanks Dudara!

    I've had a look at the Polaroid sunglasses website, lots of nice ones, and very reasonable prices too. Does anyone know where in Dublin city centre would stock them?

    I got two pairs of very nice sunglasses (one polarized) in TK Maxx for half nothing (€20 each if I remember rightly?). It's a bit of a lottery what they'll have but if you have half an hour to plough through all the rubbish, you'll definitely find something!

    I had a pair of the Polaroid ones that I loved before I left them on the Inca trail :(
    Most Specsavers stock them and I've seen them in pharmacies too.

    A lot of pharmacies carry them - you shouldn't find it too hard to pick them up.

    If you're ever in the states, then a lot of the high-end discount outlets will sell RayBan sunglasses at discounted prices. The same goes for TK Maxx. Keep an eye out for a pair where the letter "P" follows the RayBan lettering on the lens.

    Thanks, is there anything I need to look out for with Polaroid or are all their sunglasses polarised? :)

    I'm not sure - but it's easy to check if sunglasses are polarised. Read here for more information.
