Primark - Sunglasses at £1, £2 and £3

Legacy_user

In Primark in Reading today some of the sunglasses (UV 400) were just £1 and they were pretty good quality. They also had all their summer stuff in and some summer dresses that people were snapping up for approx £11.

Is there anywhere else that does sunglasses for around the same price that anyone can recommend? I used to get mine from H&M but they always break easy and are abit flimsy, even though I like the styles not sure I would get them again for this reason...

I always rely on Primark for anything Summer related. They are nice and if they get ruined by suncream etc it doesn't matter as they were so cheap :j

..but they won't protect your eyes..they are just for fashion.

That's not true

My OH got his from Tesco, probably around the £5 to £7 mark. Don't think anyone else does them as cheap as Primark these days though (agree with you about H&M too,their sunglasses used to be better value/quality a few years ago).

i wonder if they would even be allowed to sell them if they don't protect your eyes somehow.
These from primark do as far as i know...

If they are marked CE, they conform to european standards regards UV protection, at least in theory. In reality I wouldn't trust something costing £1 to protect my most improtant sense.

Sunglasses should have the uv label and protect against both uva and uvb rays. The bigger the better protection and wraparounds are best.

i buy sunglasses from Dorothy Perkins in their winter sale - my last pair were £5.00 from £15.00

most sunglasses can be broken easily - go for primark they're cheap and u can get a variety of sunnies!

They are labelled as UV 400 if this helps. Is this enough protection? I must admit I do tend to get sunglasses from shops such as Accessorise, H&M, etc - I thought if the protection stickers where on them they would provide proper protection..
