Polaroid Sunglasses

Name of product: Polaroid Sunglasses

Price: From £25 for a kids pair. My son tselected a style called “Dude”, retailing at £25.00, my daughter chose “Show Off” (well she is my baby!) at £27.00. I tried a new style called Passion for £79.00 – large lenses in an elegant ebony colour, completely on trend!

The blurb: “When it comes to sun protection, these sunglasses help you start as you mean to go on

Introduce sunglasses to children at an early age, and they can look forward to a life-time of protection from harmful UV rays. It’s a range that gives kids all the benefits of Polaroid polarized lenses in a selection of hard-wearing frames. And, when making a fashion statement is important, our sunglasses won’t let you down. Choose Polaroid kids sunglasses”

First impressions: To be completely honest with you, these are the only sunglasses I will wear myself and they are certainly the only sunglasses I will allow my children to wear. Once you have tried on a pair of Polariod sunglasses, you will completely understand what makes me say this. The difference that these lenses makes is simply stunning, but it is difficult to explain.

This range of sunglasses, in super styles, includes children’s ranges, suitable from the age of 1!

For the little ones, it will protect their little eyes from harmful sun rays, but for me, not only that, but they stop me from accentuating my fine lines! They are incredibly soothing, far superior to any of my designer sunglases. The designs are simply fabulous too, there is really no reason to opt for a brand that is pure fashion, that would be simply irresponsible (purrs)

Ease of Use: The Polariod Sunglasses website is super. My children simply selected the models they wanted and they were here in 48 hours!

Pros: I feel that these glasses have taken the sting out of summer for my eyes! My children love wearing the funky, hard wearing styles and I get no arguments off them when I insist they don sunglasses. If only getting them to wear sun hats was this easy! There is a no quibble guarantee on the Polaroid Sunglasses website and postage and packing is free

Cons: They are not cheap. I don’t actually see this as a negative as I am incredibly high end… but I am insisting that my poppets are responsible with their glasses and pay attention to where they put them and how the glasses are stored (the glasses have their own hard cases and polishing cloth just like my grown up pair!). It is important that the poppets realise that caring for their glasses is their responsibility and I will not be happy if they lose them. I don’t really see this as a con actually, this is a lesson for life

Having said all of that, these glasses are not expensive either, just check out the styles, you will spend far more than this for similar styles that do not have the super Polaroid lenses

Value for money:. Well sweeties, you get what you pay for and these glasses are not just fashion accessories (although they look amazing and my poppets adore theirs). I see these as an essential summer purchase, just like sun block!

Dulwichmum verdict:
