Product Insights
HUGO's Black Metallic Aviator Sunglasses offer professional-grade optical clarity with mineral glass lenses (Abbe 59) that eliminate color fringing, combined with scratch and UV resistance, full-rim edge protection, and prescription compatibility. Designed for driving, they are UV400 certified with Category 3 tint, legal for daytime use worldwide. The double bridge and flexible hinges ensure a stable fit for wide faces, while the lightweight metal frame offsets the heavier glass lenses to prevent nose slipping during extended wear. A rigid case and cleaning cloth provide premium protection. Originally $235, they are available at a 45% discount during sale, reflecting HUGO's accessible luxury lineage from Hugo Boss. The main tradeoff is the weight of the glass lenses, which is compensated by the frame design and hinge comfort.

- Polarization

Product comparison
Compared within this brand.
| Black Metallic Aviator Sunglasses: Choose this if you want a lightweight, comfortable metal aviator with 100% UV protection: it has a thin dark metallic frame with a double bridge, large rounded-rectangle lenses in a uniform dark gray tint, and adjustable clear nose pads. It comes in one size (56 mm eye width, 19 mm bridge, 145 mm temples) in a Charcoal color, with a rigid designer case and cleaning cloth included. Note that it is made of metal and plastic, with only subtle HUGO branding visible on the temples and lens rim.[1,2] | Black Acetate Aviator Sunglasses: Choose this if you want a lightweight, comfortable acetate aviator with 100% UV protection and a glossy black full-rim front with gradient grey lenses and red temple accents. It comes as one size (58 mm eye, 14 mm bridge, 145 mm temple) with a rigid designer case and cleaning cloth included, so check those measurements against your fit before buying.[3,4] | Olive Square Sunglasses: Choose this if you want lightweight, comfortable square sunglasses with a full-rim plastic frame, subtle keyhole bridge, and mirrored brown-purple gradient lenses; the plastic lenses are described as crack-resistant and can be replaced with custom lenses, with or without prescription. The lenses carry UV 400 protection with a category 3 sun filter (8 to 18% light transmission), so they suit intense sun exposure at the beach or in the city, and the one-size frame measures 53 mm across the lens, 20 mm at the bridge, and 145 mm at the temples. Note that while the listing names the color Olive, its structured color field says Black, so the exact shade is not fully resolved.[5,6,7,8] |
