Review: Polariod Sunglasse



As I live in Britain, my opportunities for sunglass wearing are a little bit thin at the moment. We seem to be stuck under a bit of a cloud and I don't think its all down to volcanic ash. However, fashion as it is, this hasn’t stopped me and I happen to find them very useful for covering up the bags under my sleep deprived eyes. I’ve not been all that lucky with sunglasses generally as the children seem to think that they are the best toy to play with (other than the remote control) the minute I turn my back. So I have limited my budget to a few quid. However, joy of joys, Polaroid contacted me and asked me if I should like to review their new range. I was literally jumping for joy, as they are obviously a well known and respected brand and have been coveting a lovely pair of sunglasses for a while. They were even kind enough to provide little (toddler!) Fifi with her own pair.


This year Polariod have really managed to catch the current trends with their sunglasses range. There is quite literally something for everybody. I was a given a pair of Liberty sunglasses which retail at £65.99. I am more than happy with these, the shape seems to fit well. I have let a few friends try the on and they all look good in them. The quality is superb, the lenses meet all the current safety standards. The frames in the range are well made and they have lots of additional features. I can quite honestly say that I love these sunglasses.


Fifi was given a pair of children's sunglasses. It is hard to find children's sunglasses, many of the cheaper ones are made from un-bendable plastic which snap within a few minutes of them putting them on, taking them off, putting them on, taking them off and then sort of waving them about. However, Polaroid seem to have taken this on board, as the sunglasses are quite bendy and have, so far lasted a lot of bending, waving and general childishness. I thought that the fit was a little bit big, however they are made to last a few years and she is just at the start of the age category so that is understandable. At £19.99, I think that given the length of time that they should last and the quality I think that they are a good investment.

I had a look and I think you can get some with a head band so they stay on.
