Sunglasses experts - which ones to buy tonight?

Dodger · 10 Oct 2007 at 17:01

Hi, I'm going to buy a pair of sunglasses tonight. I'm not looking to spend more than £20. So looking for a fairly cheap solution.

I have narrowed my choice down to the two below:

Bloc Hornet Sunglasses, Black

Polarised Black Frame Sunglasses

Is there any better solutions for my price range? Also, which ones would you buy out of the two above and why?

Your feedback most welcome! Thanks.

I prefer the first pair.

Any reasons for this?

Also, are there any other 'better' solutions?

I just prefer the look of them.

Better solutions? Sunglasses are sunglasses. :confused:

Edit: Might want to have a look in Boots - I got some earlier in the year for £20.

OK, it's heading towards Winter and you want to buy sunglasses? Can you get them cheap at this time of year?

Go for the Bloc. I've had a pair since I was 14 that I still wear today and they've been great.

Hehe. When it's heading towards Winter in England you go on holiday, where you will need sunglasses!

Yeah those were the one's I was originally going to go with. Just going to see in-store what they are like if they have them in stock.

<thread steal>

Does anyone know if these would be 'properly' polarized? I have polarised lenses in my sunglasses which are great for driving, my Dad wanted some too but didn't want to spend £65 like mine were (£20 prescription sunglasses + £45 for polarised lenses).
