Splurge or Save: Chloé Carlina & Isidora Sunglasses

Chloé Carlina Round Oversized Sunglasses

If you have a soft corner for all things vintage-inspired, chances are that you already own a pair of Chloé’s Carlina/Isidora sunglasses or they have been part of your wishlist for some time now. We have wanted to make them ours ever since we stumbled upon them in Chloé‘s ad campaign a couple of seasons ago. The oversized circular/butterfly frames scream 70s bohemia, but what truly gives these sunglasses its distinctive look is the double wire rim. The design is pure genius, nothing like we have ever seen before, and it has us lured! We have been stalking these babies incessantly so that we don’t miss them on sale, but as of now they are still a bit expensive, coming anywhere between USD 250-400. Luckily, we have some good news for people who, like us, are waiting for them to become more affordable. We are finally seeing a lot of fast-fashion stores come up with more pocket-friendly versions of the wired sunglasses, so you can get them just in time for summer and don’t have to skip out on a big trend! From regular to oversized, rounded to oval, colored and even mirrored, there are options to suit a variety of tastes and budgets.

Here are 9 pairs that we are absolutely loving right now. Take a look, shop, and go channel your inner hippie by styling them with flared pants, light, flowy dresses, and billowing tops.
