Fact: Giant sunglasses can hide a multitude of sins.
I've been coveting a pair of Celine-esque sunnies for many years, especially after following Amy at Fashion Jackson religiously on Instagram for her perfect OOTDs. My problem is that I wear prescription lenses most of the time, unless I'm travelling or going to a fancy event. I also don't want to start buying a ton of crap glasses that fall apart, so Clearly.ca came to the rescue again - yippie!
These Kam Dhillon Brigitte-52 glasses cost $95 CAD and come in 3 colours: Black, Tortoise and Iced Tea. I bought the black ones from their Queen St. store and was able to claim them under my health benefits. These glasses are truly outstanding quality, and look almost identical to those from Celine (~$300), Alice and Olivia, Prada, or Fendi.
The only problem I encountered is that Clearly can't put prescription lenses into the Brigitte frame. No need to fret though, the Kam Dhillon "Shields" style, reviewed here, are a fabulous dupe and are fully customizable.

If $95 is still too much of a stretch for you, Quay has some great options for $75 and H&M has a few similar versions as well starting at $14! Here's a comparison of two styles they're selling right now:
H&M's Regular collection plastic cat-eye Sunglasses are $14.99 and come in 3 colours: black, transparent/pink and beige/tortoiseshell patterned. Their "PREMIUM QUALITY" Polarized Sunglasses are $59.99. These are patterned acetate frames with UV-protective, polarized lenses. Supplied in a fabric storage pouch. They come in two colours, brown tortoiseshell and white/rosé. I didn't buy either of these, because #minimalism, but I would assume the $14.99 feel cheap and the $60 feel similar to my Clearly ones, that come with a few fixings like a pouch and cleaning cloth.
Have you ever bought designer sunnies?
