Glasses Direct Prescription Lense Sunglasses Review

These gorgeous sunglasses from Glasses Direct have already made their debut last week on the blog in my first outdoor outfit of the day post! But they definitely need a post of their own, especially since they’re another of my new favourite accessory for summer, prescription lense sunglasses! I honestly don’t know how I survived previous summers without them, as now my Primark sunnies are discarded in the drawer! I probably won’t ever use them again!

So anyway, a little more about the sunglasses themselves. They’re by a designer called Scout which I have heard of before as my mum has a Scout pair of regular glasses and she’s had them for years so when I picked them out, I knew they’d be of good quality. They come in the above black/purple or tortoiseshell (which is currently sold out) but I wanted the purple pair anyway. They come with a free dark tint and it’s no extra cost to have your prescription put in, so although they’re £75, for a named pair of sunnies, that isn’t too costly.

Although they’re plastic frames they feel very durable and come in a protective hard case with a cloth to keep them finger print free (which is still hard work if you have a toddler!) I love the cat eye/wayfarer style as it’s a combination of my two favourite classes shape, I also think it looks incredibly girly (something i’m all about).

I’m incredibly pleased with my choice and how simple it was to order them. Glasses Direct has a fool proof order system that helps you enter your prescription correctly. They also have a great selection of styles, brands, sunglasses and regular glasses for both male and female. At the moment they even have a 2 for 1 offer on, and if you invite a friend you receive a £40 off voucher! You can also trial particular styles of glasses before you purchase, meaning you should always have something that suits your face shape.

Would you buy glasses/sunglasses online or do you prefer to go to a store?
