Where's best to buy a pair of shades?

    To be honest its less about fashion and more about I was talking to an optician who got me paranoid about the effects the sun has on your (or more specifically my eyes). But I might as well get a decent pair. Where is good to go? Hoping to spend less than 100e. And I'm a guy by the way.

    If you want to reduce the light intensity entering your eyes, then you should buy sunglasses with Polaroid or polarised lenses.

    Polaroid brand glasses are available in lots of pharmacies and cost about €40 per pair. TK Maxx sunglasses selection sometimes contains polarised glasses and prices there can vary.

    TKMaxx all the way.

    Not a great selection but if you find a pair you like you'll get them cheap as chips.

    Just don't skimp on shades. Stick with the brands.

    If you are/know a student, use their discount too :) 10-20% off in most sunglass shops.

    +1 for Polaroid, they reduce the amount of harsh waves getting to your eyes.

    If anything, you'd only pay 100 euro for designer pairs, so if you're not fussed about that then you could easily pick up a decent pair for 20-50 euro.

    It all depends on how much you want to spend tbh. I've a pair of Ray Bans for about 6 or 7 years and find them great. The sunglass hut is a good place to try

    Newlook actually has a lot of sunglasses for sale and you'll get them for under a tenner. There really nice looking and there good. Loads of different styles :)
