I was listening to "Cheap Sunglasses" by ZZ Top, and I was just wondering how much people spend on sunglasses. I got Magic Clip glasses with the magnetic clip that attaches directly to my frames. They retail for $160, but they're awesome. If I ever get Lasik, I'd probably go with the el cheapos, though.
I used to buy really nice sunglasses, but I would always end up losing them. Now I just get the cheap ones.
My dad has these glasses that darken when he walks outside in the sunlight. They're freakin awesome! I have a pair of Oakley's that I've had for almost 4 years. I think I paid $100 something for them.
Same here. The only thing that irks me is I NEVER lose the cheapy ones, but if I were to go buy another pair of Oakleys tomorrow they'd be lost by April.
I bought mine at Kroger for about $10 - $15. I love cheap sunglasses. I lose the pricier ones. In fact, the odds that I'll lose a pair of sunglasses increases singificantly with the price paid for them. The cheaper they are, the less likely I am to lose them. Or so it seems.
I think I payed $10 for mine. Paying a mint for sunglasses is something I will never be able to understand.
anyone ever order the "free" sunglasses that they always advertise in magazines? all you have to pay for is shipping and they "retail" between $80 and $230. i've always wondered if those were good quality. i don't expect them to be spectacular and superior in quality but some do look nice.
i lose sunnies like crazy. i picked up these in socal last year and have managed to hold on to them. http://www.sunglassesgiant.com/spycosu1.html good build quality, lenses, good price.
If I could find decent glasses for under $5 I would buy them. Usually I have to spring for $10 or so. The exception was Venice Beach in CA -- where I bought a whole bunch for about $3 each. I've lost or broken most of them by now...so I guess it's almost time for another trip.
If I pay $15 for a pair at Academy, they are scratched up within a couple of weeks. If I pay $50+ at a sunglass store, I lose them within a couple of months. Damned if you do, damned if you don't.
I used to buy cheapos under $10, but I would always break them, lose them, or they'd get scratched. I got an $80 pair of simple looking Ray-Bans, and haven't scratched it or had problems with it at all. I guess higher price psychologically makes me take care of them better.
i found a $100 pair of oakleys at barton springs - i never knew quality sunglasses till i found these. i prefer my $15 blue blockers though, b/c they look cooler.
