Why it works as a gift
A dependable, low-risk gift across a wide budget — but face shape and frame style are genuinely personal, so a classic, widely-flattering shape travels better than a bold one unless you know their preference.
Who it's good for
Who should skip it
- Someone who wears prescription glasses — unless you're getting prescription sunglasses made
How to choose
Cut glare off roads and water.
Wraparound; stay put.
What to check
- Check for '100% UV protection' or 'UV400' on the label — dark lenses without UV protection do more harm than none.
- Pick widely flattering shapes like aviators or wayfarers if you're unsure of their face shape.
- Make sure a case is included; sunglasses without one scratch quickly.
What each budget gets you
- ₹500–₹1,500
- UV-protected sunglasses from fashion brands.
- ₹1,500–₹4,000
- Polarised lenses, better frames, known eyewear brands.
- Polarised lenses can make phone and car screens look dark at some angles — worth knowing for someone who drives with a phone mount.
