This summer, when you slather on sunscreen to protect your skin, remember that your eyes need some TLC too -- the UV rays, dust and harsh glare can cause irreparable damage.
Here are a few pairs of funky glares that will have you looking cool and keep your eyes out of harm's way.
For men, small, compact shades are very fashionable. Deep green lenses are also the rage right now and the shape to go for is the classic aviator style (think Ray Ban).
For women, try oversized, I'm-a-celebrity suglasses. Oval shapes are trendy and a bit of bling is always welcome! Think Posh Beckham and Jackie O.
And here's a valuable tip -- remember to check your shades for FDA approval. This ensures that they will protect your eyes against UV rays, and won't break even if you're in an accident.
To start off with, we have this Polaroid pair, great for keeping the sun at bay. And their slightly angular frames look good on most faces.
Price: Rs 2,786
