The Aviator™, also known as pilot’s glasses, was originally created so that pilots could protect their eyes. Ray Ban not only managed to deliver on its promise but it also inadvertently made pilots look even cooler. The style further gained a cool reputation when General Douglas MacArthur was photographed with the dark spectacles as he came on Philippine shores. Since then, rockstars, actors, and other celebrities have used Ray Ban Aviators to solidify their tough-guy attitudes.
So you want one, too. The trouble is branded eyewear can be pricey. But just because Ray Bans are not as affordable as generic eyewear, particularly when you need prescription sunglasses, it does not mean you cannot get one. All it takes is a bit of shopping savvy, and these easy tips.
Buy at the right time. Unless you really need to have the Aviator Cockpit or the Liteforce Tech Aviator™ today, you can try and wait for seasonal or clearance sales. Here’s the thing, brands will come out with newer and newer styles, and retail optical stores will want to unload the old styles that have not been sold. So try to shop for your Aviator™ when your preferred UK online store is offering Ray Bans at hefty discounted prices.
Look for freebies. With so many retail eyewear shops in and around London, you will find many stores vying for your attention. The good ones will offer more value for your money by enticing you with complimentary items along with your product purchase. Choose an eyewear store that offers free delivery in your area.
Having your branded frames delivered can cost you when you choose to shop online. So, cut your shopping budget further by going with an online eyewear store that can deliver your Aviator™ sunglasses, for nothing.Reading the online store’s guidelines will help you find out if they offer such a service in your city.
Stay at home and shop. Finally, whyincur additional expenses for cab or train fare, for drinks or food, and for other incidentals when you can save yourself from bleeding cash by shopping for your lenses and branded frame online? When you head out to shop at the mall, you are likely to be tempted to spend for other things. You could easily be lured by an item you had no intention of buying or run into an old friend and get drinks at a pub.
So choose the right online eyewear store that offers wide-ranging designer brands and styles — from the Liteforce Aviator™ to Ray Ban optics with special lens types (e.g., bifocals or varifocals) — and do your shopping without leaving your home. It is not only economical but also saves you from having to go through rush hour traffic and crowded areas.
