Are you the type who loses sunglasses every other day and wouldn't want to invest in something super expensive? Also, do you love variety? Head straight to Ballimaran Market in Old Delhi as it is one of Delhi's biggest eye wear markets (for both glasses and glares). You can find a pair here for as low as INR 50! We've seen everything from basic wayfarers, aviators and round reflectors to the flat and sleek, neon-rimmed sunglasses in this market. 

Fair warning: Considering that you can pay less than INR 100 at most shops here, don't expect impeccable quality. Also, we recommend that you check out a few shops before finally buying a pair.

Decathalon stocks a bunch of sunglasses that are great for different activities like jogging, hiking, sailing, triathlons etc. but they also have glares that'll actually look good if you wear them casually.

Street markets like Sarojini Nagar, Karol Bagh, Janpath, and Palika are great spots to hit up for basic sunglasses (think wayfarers, aviators or round Lennon-style) at throwaway prices. While the shades from these markets won't last you for ages and won't offer sufficient protection from UV rays, they're a good option for when you're low on dough, and basically, need a pair to complete your OOTD.

Sometimes, if you try hard enough, you might even come across a pair of vintage sunglasses that wouldn't look out of place at the fashion weeks of the world.
