Shielding your eyes from the glare of the summer sun won’t work for too long. Sooner or later your hands will hurt and so man invented a pair of sunglasses. You should invest in a great pair of sunglasses this season so you don’t have to buy a new pair every two months. I went on the prowl for
these tinted glasses
MINIMALIST
Kumar Plaza
RS 650
If you’re looking out for Chanel first copies or any fancy brand, you’ll find them here. Don’t expect them to last till next year though
GO BETWEEN
Calvin Klein
Rs 7,590
So, if you want a Jackie-O-like pair of sunglasses that can never go out of fashion, head to Jewel Square. They’re available in red, black and purple (which I would so buy or ask my Fb fan club to sponsor)
SPLURGE
Privilege
Rs 18,750
This store claims to stock original merchandise from brands like YSL, Diesel and Gucci. The ones that I liked are for men and from the fashion house of Diesel. If you’re man enough to buy them and your pockets are deep enough, lay your hands on them now
