Sunglasses search: Suggestions welcome!

Kristen

I am on the hunt for new sunglasses for the summer, and I really want a pair of aviators this year. Has anyone seen a good selection of them at a particular store? So far the ones I've liked the most (OF COURSE) have been in actual glasses stores or at Macys and cost well over $100. I am looking for something a quarter of that price, if I can find it.

Any ideas? Thanks!

This is probably not what you want to hear but have you thought how low the cost to wear ratio could be with the more expensive ones you love? I bought my 1st expensive pair of sunnies last year previously I had always bought so so cheap ones and ended up keep buying more, I haven't bought another pair since as I love these sooo much and I've been more careful with them too no more leaving them on the car seat and forgetting they are there and sitting on them!!!! x

LOL, yes, believe me, I am also considering the expensive ones too! I tried on a pair at Macys which were pretty much perfect but I didn't have my gifts cards with me. I probably would have bought them in a heartbeat if I had...

I am actually really good with my sunglasses whether they are cheap or not. I am so used to treating my real glasses well I think it carries over.

I haven't seen them but I wasn't looking for them either. I just went and peeked around a bit. Both of these stores have a lot more sunnies options in the store than they do online so they might worth a stop in the store. JCPenney has these

And Target has these

I vote RayBan Aviators. I know they are pricey, but they are worth it.

What Louise said. I have had my Marc Jacobs sunnies for years. The cheap ones I had before that lasted a few months each at best.

Macy's has coupons and sales all the time so you could probably bring the price down. Check their July 4 sale.

I just bought some Ray Ban Wayfarers at Ilori...I buy about 95% of my sunny's there.
I am with Angie ...Ray Ban has FAB aviators too:) they are well within your price range:)

High five, Taylor! We are RayBan wayfarer twins. (Black and white). Scroll down on this thread:

Mine *did* cost an arm and a leg because I had my prescritive lenses put in. But I love them and will have them for yonks. Beautiful quality.

I've had luck with Marc Jacobs sunglasses for several clients this season actually.

You guys are the worst (best) enablers!

I ended up getting the ones from Macys. Ralph Laurens. I have to get some outdoor pictures that someone else takes of me so you can see how nice they look. I love 'em.
