Collection: Chloe Metal Sunglasses

Sleek, light and quietly luxurious, our Chloe metal sunglasses collection showcases the house's most refined side. Where acetate is warm and bold, metal is precise and airy — perfect for slim pilots, delicate rounds and architectural fronts that feel almost like jewellery. Every pair is a genuine Chloe design, supplied by an authorised UK stockist, with prices generally from £265 to £295. Standouts include the sculptural CH0329S, the elegant CH0260S, the CH0382S, and the gold and brown 62mm CH0278S alongside the bold CH0283S.

Why choose Chloe metal sunglasses

Metal frames have a distinct character. They are typically lighter and slimmer than acetate, which makes them exceptionally comfortable for long wear, and their fine profiles create an understated, sophisticated look. Metal is also ideal for classic silhouettes — the thin rims of a pilot or a round frame simply look right in gold, silver or gunmetal. Chloe uses metal to bring a refined, feminine polish to its sunglasses, often combining it with acetate temple tips or delicate detailing for the best of both materials.

Within this collection you will find slim pilots, airy rounds, soft squares and more decorative fronts, in finishes from warm gold to cool silver and darker metals. Adjustable nose pads on many designs mean a metal frame can be tuned to sit exactly where you want it — a real advantage for comfort and fit.

Fit, finish and materials

Metal eyewear is prized for a few practical reasons:

• Lightness: thin metal fronts and temples reduce weight on the nose and ears.
• Adjustability: many metal frames feature moveable nose pads for a precise, personalised fit.
• Slim aesthetic: fine rims keep the focus on your face and suit minimal, elegant styling.
• Durability: quality metal alloys hold their shape well with proper care.

Some premium frames use lightweight alloys and, in certain ranges, titanium for strength with minimal weight. As with any frame, check that it sits level, the nose pads or bridge hold it steady, and the arms reach the ears without pressing. If you prefer a warmer, bolder look, compare these against acetate designs in the wider Chloe sunglasses range.

UV protection, tints and prescription

Every metal frame provides full UV protection, and many pair the slim metal front with gradient or solid tints. For bright, reflective conditions such as driving or time by the water, polarised lenses cut glare noticeably — see our polarised sunglasses edit for the details. Most metal frames can be glazed as prescription sunglasses in single vision or varifocal, tinted to your chosen strength, in our UK lab. Prescription orders take around 7–10 working days to glaze before dispatch, with free UK delivery.

Styling metal Chloe sunglasses

Metal frames lend an effortless polish. A slim gold pilot pairs beautifully with tailoring and everyday tones, working from the office to the weekend without missing a beat; a delicate silver round adds a modern, minimal touch to monochrome outfits; a decorative metal front becomes a subtle piece of jewellery for the face. Metallic finishes also coordinate naturally with your accessories — a gold frame with warm-toned jewellery, a silver or gunmetal frame with cooler pieces — which is a small styling detail that makes an outfit look considered. Because metal reads as refined rather than showy, these sunglasses slip easily into daily wear, which is exactly what makes a designer pair worth having.

Metal versus acetate: which is right for you?

Choosing between metal and acetate comes down to how you want your sunglasses to look and feel. Metal frames are typically lighter and slimmer, offer adjustable nose pads for a precise fit, and read as refined, minimal and jewellery-like — ideal if you prefer understated elegance or find heavier frames uncomfortable. Acetate frames are warmer to the touch, sit flush against the face without nose pads, and deliver bolder colour and marbling, which suits those who want their eyewear to make more of a statement. Neither is better; they simply flatter different preferences. Many women end up owning one of each — a slim metal pair for everyday polish and a rich acetate pair for holidays and occasions.

Caring for metal frames

Clean lenses with a microfibre cloth and lens spray or mild soapy water, and avoid dry tissues that scratch. Handle metal frames gently around their fine joints and nose pads, store them in the supplied case, and bring them in for a free adjustment if the nose pads or arms need re-setting. A little care keeps hinges smooth and finishes bright for years.
