Collection: Chloe Black Sunglasses

Our edit of Chloe black sunglasses brings together the maison's most quietly confident frames in the one colour that never loses its nerve: a deep, saturated black that flatters every complexion and slips effortlessly from a morning commute to a candlelit dinner. Black is the foundation of the Chloe sunglasses wardrobe, and at Ardor Eyewear you will find genuine, authorised-stockist styles spanning oversized squares, soft cat-eyes, slim rectangles and rounded pilots, all in authentic French-house design and all ready to be glazed with your prescription if you wish. Every pair here is 100% authentic, dispatched with free UK delivery and backed by our 14-day returns policy.

This collection currently gathers a focused range of designs, typically priced between £235 and £275, including signature references such as the CH0362S, the elegant CH0357S, the rounded CH0258S, the bold CH0332S and the structured CH0375SK and CH0365SK. Whether you are replacing a treasured pair or buying your first set of designer shades, the pages below explain how to choose the right shape, fit and lens so that your black Chloe frames feel as good as they look.

Why Chloe black sunglasses are a wardrobe essential

There is a reason black is the colour most stylists reach for first. It reads as polished without trying too hard, it disappears into any palette, and it lets the architecture of a frame do the talking. With Chloe, that architecture is the point. The house has built its reputation on a particular kind of relaxed femininity: frames that feel sculptural yet wearable, romantic yet grounded. Rendered in black, those design cues become even sharper. A glossy black acetate cat-eye looks deliberate and a little theatrical; a matte black metal pilot looks cool and pared back. The same silhouette can swing from boardroom to beach club simply through finish.

Black also happens to be the most forgiving colour for everyday wear. It hides minor scuffs, it never clashes with your outfit, and it photographs beautifully. If you only own one pair of designer shades, a black Chloe frame is an investment that keeps earning its place. For shoppers who want to explore the full house offering before narrowing down by colour, our wider Chloe sunglasses edit shows the breadth of shapes and tints available, while the broader women's sunglasses hub places these frames alongside other leading designers.

The Chloe black sunglasses shapes in this collection

Black brings out the silhouette, so it pays to understand the families of shapes Chloe works in. Here is how the key styles tend to wear, with the references you will recognise from this edit.

• Oversized squares and geometrics — frames such as the CH0332S make a deliberate statement. The clean lines of a square lens balance softer, rounder faces and lend a confident, fashion-forward feel. In black they read as modern and architectural.
• Cat-eyes — the silhouette most associated with the house's romantic streak. References in the CH0357S family lift the outer corners to flatter the cheekbones and add a flick of vintage glamour. If you love that retro-feminine look, also browse our dedicated cat-eye sunglasses shapes.
• Rounded and pilot styles — the CH0258S and pilot-influenced designs soften strong, angular features and bring an easy, seventies-inflected mood. Explore more curved options in our round sunglasses selection.
• Slim rectangles — narrower lenses such as those in the CH0362S and CH0375SK feel sleek and contemporary, a flattering choice for petite faces and anyone who prefers a discreet, modern profile. See related lines in our square and rectangular sunglasses.

Choosing Chloe black sunglasses for your face shape

Because a black frame draws the eye straight to its outline, matching the shape to your features matters more than with a softer colour. The simple principle is contrast: choose a frame shape that opposes the dominant lines of your face.

Face shape	Best black Chloe styles	Why it works
Round	Square, rectangular, geometric (e.g. CH0332S)	Angular lines add definition and the illusion of length
Square	Round, oval, soft cat-eye (e.g. CH0258S)	Curves soften a strong jaw and broad forehead
Oval	Most shapes, including oversized squares	A balanced face carries almost any silhouette
Heart	Cat-eye, rounded (e.g. CH0357S)	Width at the lower frame balances a narrower chin
Oblong	Oversized, deep lenses	Taller frames shorten the appearance of the face

If you are unsure, look at the frames you already reach for and notice their width relative to your face. A frame should sit comfortably level with your brow line and the temples should not pinch. The numbers printed inside the arm — lens width, bridge width and temple length in millimetres — are your reliable guide; the CH0278S, for example, appears in a 62mm lens width, which sits firmly in oversized territory.

Black acetate or black metal: materials and finish

Two materials dominate this edit, and the choice shapes both the look and the feel on your face.

Acetate is a plant-based plastic prized for its depth of colour and its warmth against the skin. Black acetate can be polished to a high gloss for drama or finished matte for a stealthier, more contemporary look. It is the material behind most of the bold cat-eye and square Chloe frames, and it allows the thicker, sculptural rims the house is known for.

Metal frames — often the pilot and slim rectangular references such as the CH0375SK and CH0365SK — feel lighter and more minimal. A black metal frame reads as cool and understated, and the thin rims keep your field of vision open. Many combine a metal front with acetate temple tips for comfort. Whichever you choose, adjustable nose pads on metal styles let you fine-tune the fit, while acetate frames can be gently warmed and adjusted by an optician.

Adding your prescription to black Chloe frames

One of the advantages of buying designer sunglasses from Ardor is that most frames here can be glazed with your prescription, so you are never forced to choose between style and clear vision. We offer single vision, varifocal and bifocal lenses, as well as tinted, polarised, photochromic and blue-light options. A pair of black Chloe sunglasses can become genuine prescription sunglasses in your exact strength, glazed in our UK laboratory.

For driving and bright, glare-heavy conditions, consider a polarised lens, which cuts reflected light from roads, water and car bonnets for crisper, more comfortable vision. If you would prefer everyday spectacles rather than tinted lenses, the same flattering Chloe shapes appear among our Chloe women's glasses, ready for clear or varifocal lenses. Prescription orders are typically glazed within around seven to ten working days before dispatch.

Styling your black Chloe sunglasses

Black frames are the great connector of an outfit, but a few intentional pairings make them sing. With tailoring — a black blazer, crisp shirt and gold jewellery — a glossy black cat-eye finishes the look with old-money polish. For weekend dressing, a matte black pilot or square pairs beautifully with denim, a white tee and tan accessories, keeping the whole look relaxed but considered. On holiday, an oversized black square over linen and bare skin is effortlessly chic and doubles as instant glamour for evening.

Because black is so versatile, it is also the easiest colour to build a small designer collection around. Many of our customers pair a black everyday frame with a warmer tone for variety; if that appeals, the Chloe havana sunglasses edit offers a softer, tortoiseshell alternative. For those who like to compare houses, the Saint Laurent sunglasses range sits in a similar Parisian, fashion-led register.

Caring for black sunglasses

Black frames look their best when they are kept clean, and a little care protects your investment. Rinse the lenses under cool water to lift away dust and grit before wiping — dry-rubbing trapped particles is the most common cause of fine scratches. Use a soft microfibre cloth rather than a shirt hem or tissue, and avoid household glass cleaners, which can strip lens coatings over time. Store your frames in their case when not in use, keep them away from car dashboards and other hot surfaces that can warp acetate, and always rest them folded rather than lens-down on a hard surface. Treated well, a quality black Chloe frame will stay sharp and glossy for years.

Lens tints and finishes for black Chloe sunglasses

A black frame is a blank canvas for the lens behind it, and the tint you choose changes both the look and the experience of wearing them. A solid black or smoke-grey lens is the classic, sunshowy choice, pairing perfectly with black acetate for a sleek, monochrome finish that keeps colours looking natural. A gradient lens — darker at the top, fading lighter towards the bottom — is the most flattering for everyday wear, shading your eyes from overhead sun while letting you read a menu or your phone without lifting the frame. Brown and amber tints add warmth and lift contrast for driving, while mirrored finishes bring a bolder, more fashion-led edge. Because the frame is neutral, you can change the entire mood of the same black Chloe style simply by choosing a different lens, which is one reason black is such a rewarding colour to invest in.

Whatever tint you choose, a quality lens should always carry full UV protection, shielding your eyes from harmful UVA and UVB rays. Darkness and UV protection are not the same thing — a properly made designer lens delivers both, which is another reason to choose genuine, authorised-stockist eyewear over unbranded alternatives.

Black sunglasses for every occasion

The reason black earns its keep is that it never looks out of place. For work and travel, a slim black rectangle or a discreet square reads as professional and polished, slipping easily from desk to departure lounge. For weekends and errands, a matte black pilot keeps a casual outfit looking considered. For holidays and special occasions, an oversized glossy black square or a glamorous cat-eye delivers instant impact against simple clothing — a white shirt, a black dress, bare sun-kissed skin. Because a single black frame stretches across so many settings, it is often the most-worn pair in a designer collection, and the easiest to justify. Many customers find that once they own a versatile black Chloe frame, it quietly becomes their default — the pair they grab on the way out of the door without a second thought.

Frequently asked questions

Are these Chloe black sunglasses genuine?

Yes. Ardor Eyewear is an authorised stockist of genuine designer eyewear, and every pair of Chloe black sunglasses is 100% authentic and supplied with its official case and cleaning cloth.

Can I have my prescription added to a black Chloe frame?

Most frames in this collection can be glazed with your prescription, including single vision, varifocal, bifocal, tinted, polarised, photochromic and blue-light lenses. Add your details at checkout and we will glaze the lenses in our UK laboratory, typically within around seven to ten working days.

Which black Chloe shape suits my face?

As a guide, choose a shape that contrasts your features: square or geometric frames such as the CH0332S flatter rounder faces, while rounded and soft cat-eye styles such as the CH0258S and CH0357S balance stronger, more angular features. Oval faces can carry almost any silhouette.

How much do Chloe black sunglasses cost at Ardor?

Prices in this collection generally range from around £235 to £275, depending on the frame, materials and size. Adding prescription or specialist lenses is priced separately.

Do you offer free UK delivery and returns?

Yes. We offer free UK shipping on your order and a 14-day returns policy. Please note that return postage is paid by the customer, and prescription-glazed orders are made to your specification.

What is the difference between black acetate and black metal frames?

Acetate frames offer deeper, richer colour and a warmer feel, and they suit bolder, sculptural shapes. Metal frames are lighter and more minimal, often with adjustable nose pads, and they suit slimmer pilot and rectangular styles such as the CH0375SK.

Can black sunglasses be polarised?

Yes. A polarised lens can be fitted to most black Chloe frames and is ideal for driving and bright conditions because it cuts glare from roads, water and reflective surfaces. Browse our polarised sunglasses for more options.
