Hi, with the summer getting closer i want to buy a pair of sunglasses but i have no idea where to start, there’s too many models (and i basically only know the classic rayban in photo and the aviators) so i’d like some suggestions.
My face shape is oval, maybe rectangular but im not 100% sure.
I’m oriented in buying second hand so i’ll be saving money (ideally i would like to spend below 100€) and also i don’t want to be bothered if they get scratched or damaged (since im going to the beach often, playing like beach volley and shit).
Thank you for every suggestion, have a nice day :)
I’ve always been a cheap sunglasses guy, I buy whatever brand they’re selling at whatever store I happen to be at when I need sunglasses. I usually go through a couple pairs of them a year, they get lost or broken, or the lenses get all scratched up.
Arguably I could be more careful with them, but $20 a couple times a year for something I use almost every single day seems more than worth it to me.
One time I came across a good deal on a pair of Oakley’s, and I figured I’d treat myself. IIRC they were a return at an REI garage sale, they looked brand new and the tag said they were just returned because the original customer did like them or they fit poorly or something.
It was a relatively cheap model of Oakleys to begin with, and with the discount I think they came out to like $60, which still made them the most expensive pair of sunglasses I’ve ever owned.
I liked them, I don’t think they were in any particular way better than my usual cheap sunglasses.
And about 3 days later I found out that if you drop them and someone accidentally steps on them before you pick them up, they absolutely break the same way a cheap pair of sunglasses would.
So no more fancy sunglasses for me.
