    I'm looking to buy a sunglass and my budget is $50 (not sure if it's reasonable). So far I bought 6-7 sunglasses in the last 4 years ranging $15-$20. Either I didn't like them or I broke them due to regular use. I want to invest into a good one this time. But I don't know which ones are good brands and the average range for a sunglass. Also, where do you buy your sunglasses?

    I have a pair of RALPH LAUREN. And I am very happy with them. They are with me since 14 years, yet they look so stylish.

    Even Reebok has a cheek collection

    I will say Go for branded sunglasses only like Rayban initially u feel they are costly but with proper handling they last more than 4 to 5 yrs moreover u can not compare the protection they provide from UV rays with low quality sunglasses. For eg Rayban will cost $100+ but worthy

    Check with ur vision insurance. Some insurance covers sunglasses for fixed amount anything above that u have to pay out of pocket and u can buy it once in a yr or once in two yrs Chk ur insurance if u have.

    Uma, I was also looking forward to this kind of information so long..
    I have no much experience, even I have been picking the ones below 20$ in forever21 or similar stores
    You can check these Gucci,Chanel, Dior, Versace

    some of my friends order it online amazon or ebay
    again its difficult to judge if it would suit our face, unless we try it
    yes go for little high end, so you can keep it long use.

    I am looking for fancy ones in the budget range, which I can add to my wardrobe..
    to mix and match with my daily attire.. any suggestions?

    I'm not a fan of Rayban. My husband has one ($250 I believe) and he loves it. It suits him well.

    My budget is not more than $100 for sure. I looked at Prada. But it's very expensive ($250+).

    I'm super confused what to buy and what too look when buying for a sunglass. :(

    Anusha,

    All the brands you've mentioned cost around $250+ right?

    I want to buy in store. Because I don't know which one will suit me.

    Uma,

    Look for low range glasses from Oakley. Even Armani Exchange and Fossil have good sun glasses. I have one of each and am very happy with these! Also, look for deals before you buy them. Look at local groupon, living social deals. I got my AX glass for just 40 dollars and they are really good!

    Hi,

    Always buy a branded one like Rayban, Oaklay, etc. Though they cost $150+ they will look stylish and alo best in quality.. ESpecially in USA you need special protection.
