Stop Stressing Over Lost Sunglasses. Order Cheaper Ones
Don't stress if yours go missing — these are all affordable.
As warmer weather settles in and days in the sun become more abundant, we’ve rounded up inexpensive eyewear — all under $60 (or just above) — that exude style while still keeping your retinas safe from the scorching sun. And if they disappear into shuffled sand, at least you’re only out around half (sometimes a little more) a hundred bucks.
Cheap vs. Expensive
Sure, cheap is subjective. If your sunglasses go missing, it's still money out of your pocket. As such, it's OK to lament the minor loss. But then, grab a new pair, and summer on. The sunglasses listed below are rarely above $60 bucks, making them fairly easy to replace and forget.
Truthfully, I wore cheap sunglasses exclusively back when I wore contacts because I could wear any, with my vision being reliant on small circular films inside my eye instead of the frames on my face. If you do wear prescription glasses, though, I'd argue a pricier pair is more worth your money. That way you get to see even when you're being protected by the sun. And, as a contacts-to-glasses convert, who really wants to wear contacts after all?
Another critical detail regarding sunglasses prices and whether they're cheap or expensive are the materials, production methods, and location. Options on the costly end of the scale, like Ray-Ban and some designer frames, hail from places like Italy and China and use relatively accessible materials. For example, options from brands like Persol are handmade in Italy and use various lens types that help to block UV rays while giving off a glowing/colorful finish and have earned a reputation for being both high-end and fashionable. Also, whether expensive or not, a few brands design their sunglasses in one location and then mass produce them in countries like China, which helps lower the overhead for creating and selling shades.
