Buying the latest eyewear should be a regular feature of one’s shopping expeditions.
Do you give as much importance to your eyewear as you do to the rest of your wardrobe?
We ask some readers how often they shop for eyewear and this is what they had to say…
Nicole Rodrigues
Larsen Founder and Owner, Diva Group of Companies
“I have many sunglasses because I think it is a vital accessory in one’s entire ensemble. In fact, I give my eyewear the same amount of attention that I give to my clothes – that’s how much importance I place on it. I usually change my sunglasses every three months. Most of the styles I pick up are based on prevalent fashion trends, and I prefer those from Gucci, Bvlgari, Cavalli, etc, which fit my face type.”

“I buy sunglasses almost annually. With the sun shining brightly all year round in Dubai, I wear my sunglasses every day. They have become an accessory to define my style. When I buy a new pair of sunglasses, I don’t base my choice on the season’s trend. I normally fall in love with a pair because of its particular design. And if it suits my face shape, then it’s mine!”

“Sunglasses are a necessity in Dubai’s hot climate! I currently have about 4-5 pairs, but use 2 of them. I buy new sunglasses every 2-3 years, but more if there’s a sale.
I don’t like brands that scream out their logos. I’m currently using Marc Jacobs’ sunglasses with a funky red design on the side of the glasses, which I really like. I also like Ray-Ban sunglasses, but I just can’t seem to pull it off.”

“I don’t often change my sunglasses as I have maybe 10 that I love. However, when a new one comes in from the brands like Gucci, D&G, Armani and Marc Jacobs, which are my favourites, it
has to fit exactly as I like it and then I will purchase. These brands fit my style and facial dimension. My wishlist would be Gucci as they exude class and etiquette and stand out from the rest, slightly at a higher level.”

“I have about 9-10 sunglasses representing from various brands, ranging from a classic Ray-Ban to a high-end Louis Vuitton. I keep checking out the latest models every month, but I am quite choosy. So I only go for the ones that I’ve really fallen for. I usually buy sunglasses every 3-4 months. And sometimes, I buy eyewear that I don’t use! Once I had purchased Prada’s funky colourful eyewear because I really liked them, but I’ve opened the box just once! I really love my big and stylish Mont Blanc sunglasses because they suit any look.”
