Sunglasses That Won’t Break The Bank

If you are looking for some serious sunglasses inspiration that won’t break the bank, then look no further. We have put together a few of our favourite styles and brands to show you that buying great sunglasses doesn’t have to cost a fortune.

The Sunglasses Edit

Check out our top styles and picks.

Rounded

We love the retro look that rounded sunglasses give. There are so many great pairs on the market at the momen. Whether you’re looking for full-blown John Lennon style, or something more subtle, you’ll be able to find the perfect fit. We adore these two pairs of ’60s inspired sunnies, you can find similar on ASOS. The most worn pair in our current stash are this pair of rounded tortoise-shell from IYÜ design with gold detailing.

Metallics

The metallics style seems to be really popular at the moment. Wgether you prefer silver, gold or rose gold, they really help to jazz up a classic outfit. They look especially good dressed up with a

simple monochrome look. A really affordable pair are these silver/black mirror lensed shades from IYÜ designs. At just under £25, they beat Dior sunnies any day of the week! If you prefer gold try a pair like these gold-framed ones from Miss KG (pictured).

Classic

If you prefer a more classic style, then why not try some monochrome large rounded classics from French Connection. You can find a similar pair at Guess. We’re also a big fan of the cat-eye style at the moment, these tortoise-shell ones are from French Connection.

Fun

Lastly, if you want to inject a bit of fun into an outfit, why not try some fun and flirty sunglasses? The type of sunglasses that you wouldn’t necessarily wear everyday, which is why it’s good to find a cheaper pair for a festival or event. We adore this heart-shaped pair, or what about some pink sunglasses. These ones are from Miss KG and have gold lining on the sides. For some understated colour you could try a classic pair of shades with colourful lenses, like the blue toned ones pictured here, they’re from Grain de Malice Sunglasses and are only €14.99!

Other Eyewear brands to check out:

ASOS is a great place to look for all sorts of affordable brands, but their own designs are pretty awesome too. A good starting point to any online search. (But c’mon, when isn’t ASOS a starting point to the depths of online browsing…)

Miss KG are available at House of Fraser and offer a range of fun and playful designs around the £30 mark.

IYÜ design offer catchy, fashion-forward styles for all sorts of occasions.

Quay Australia have leaped into the sunglasses world and can now be found at over 2,000 retailers worldwide. Aussie-inspired, notoriously cool and affordable they are definitely worth checking out. Available on ASOS.

Guess offer a wide range of classic designs and high-quality shades. Available on Red Hot Sunglasses.

That’s our top pick of high street sunglasses.

I am 24 years old and currently working in an administrative role in Norwich. I studied Speech and Language Therapy at UEA and since graduating in 2010 I have been working in London, I moved back to Norwich in September for love (of the fine city, and my boyfriend!). I have no idea what my future holds, but I am looking into doing a PGCE next year to teach English at secondary school level. I enjoy drinking and socialising on the weekend and going to gigs and club nights. I love reading blogs and have them to blame for my ever growing make-up drawers and wardrobe.
