Sunglasses have gone from a utility item to a fashion accessory that everyone wears anytime and anywhere. Ray-Ban, Oakley, Fastrack, Vincent Chase, and Eyewearlabs are some of the affordable sunglasses brands you can shop from today.
Today, we’ll be looking at different sunglasses for wearing throughout the year. Apart from that, we will also dive deeper into ways to get maximum discounts on these products so that you don’t have to spend more than necessary.
Ray-Ban
Whether you are a sunglasses enthusiast or not, there is no way you haven’t heard this name. These glasses are known to last years… or even decades if they are properly cared for. My grandpa just gave me the one he used to wear back in the day with the original case. You will find decent options(Thin frame and thick frame) if you’re ready to spend a minimum of ₹3,000.
Key Highlights:
- Are they UV protected?: Yes
- Recommended Budget: ₹2k to ₹5k
- They are more durable than you think they are
- You can go for their smartglasses, which they recently launched after partnering with Meta.
Oakley
Known For: Sportswear
Even though they are popular for sportswear sunglasses, they also offer regular glasses for daily wear. They use their patented Oakley O-Matter frame material, which gives it more durability. They block and protect your eyes from UVA and UVB rays, allowing you to spend long hours in sunlight (Don’t forget to apply sunscreen on the rest of your body)
I’d recommend shopping on Amazon as they have the biggest seasonal sales. Make sure you become an Amazon Prime member if you’re looking for bigger cashbacks. Don’t forget to check the design if it’s for sports or daily use.
Key Highlights:
- Amazon Prime members get 5% cashback while others get 3% only. Remember, these are only applicable on purchases made through Amazon Pay ICICI credit card)
- Do they offer men’s and women’s sunglasses: Yes
Fastrack
Best For: Affordable Options
Compared to the above two brands & Maui Jim, the Fastrack sunglasses are far more affordable. Apart from sunglasses, they are also famous for watches, smartwatches, and bags. You are likely to find coupon discounts for them if you shop on Amazon. Just know these aren’t like the regular coupons where you manually apply the code at checkout. On Amazon, all you need to do is select the coupon checkbox.
Note: Clean the lenses with cleaning spray only.
Key Highlights:
- The Amazon Great Freedom Sale and the Great Indian Festival are sales worth waiting for. You will find huge price drops on fashion accessories, including sunglasses.
- You can find a variety of styles at affordable prices.
- Sunglasses with plastic frames cost way lower and are more prone to breaking.
Maui Jim
Best For: Premium Sunglasses
The Maui Jim sunglasses usually cost more than Fastrack and the Ray-Ban glasses. You will need a budget of at least ₹20,000 to afford one pair of sunglasses. You should try getting a bank offer if you have SBI, ICICI, Canara, or HDFC Bank credit cards.
You might be eligible for most offers because most of these glasses cost over ₹20,000 and the minimum purchase value for a bank discount is ₹5,000.
Key Highlights:
- Care instructions: You can clean them with mild soap and water. Try avoiding saltwater without proper rinsing and cleaning.
- The common price range is between ₹20,000 and ₹45,000.
- There are countless bank & partner offers for them on Amazon.
- Visit CouponzGuru’s sunglasses page for the latest discounts.
Vincent Chase
You can find Vincent Chase sunglasses on Amazon titled as ‘VINCENT CHASE EYEWEAR’. They have a variety of frame styles to suit all fashion tastes. If you ask me, their full-rim round sunglasses have a unique design compared to their other offerings. On the other hand, if you’re looking for something generic, I’d recommend the full-rim square sunglasses with blue mirrors.
Key Highlights:
- Common price range on Amazon: ₹500 to ₹1,500
- Do they have UV-protected lenses: Yes
- Amazon also recommends outfit ideas to pair with the sunglasses.
Eyewearlabs
Eyewearlabs is another affordable sunglasses brand that offers diverse designs. You can find countless alloy metal frames at prices as low as ₹1,000. Their polarized lenses with UV400 protection are great for uncompromised eye safety. I’d recommend getting Amazon’s ICICI credit card to get some extra cashback on these. This is the most discount you’re going to get, as they already cost so little compared to the other brands we discussed.
Key Highlights:
- You can get up to ₹21 cashback with the Amazon ICICI credit card.
- Common price range: ₹600 to ₹1,300
- Try getting the bank offers if you have an eligible credit card.
- Buy it ASAP if you see any limited-time deal.
Final Thoughts
If you are one of the shoppers who prefers brand value more but don’t want to spend too much, then I’d recommend the Ray-Ban sunglasses. On the other hand, if you’re just looking for something simple and functional, then Fastrack, Eyewearlabs, and Vincent Chase would be great options.
