Founded in Austria in 1956, Carrera has become a worldwide icon for its influential eyewear. The label’s impeccably crafted sunglasses and opticals stand out for their modern mix of thoughtful designs and rebellious details and nowhere is this more evident than in the Spring/Summer 2018 offerings. These aviator eyeglasses for men have a strong pilot silhouette and striking thick acetate frames, complete with stainless steel temples operated by the brand’s new Tank Hinges for the highest performance results. Notice the small yet statement-making metal plaque atop the double bridge, hand-applied with red enamel Flag symbol that nods to Carrera sportswear heritage. Subtly detailed with the signature ‘C’ inside the left end tip, these ultra-stylish, vintage-inspired frames can be easily fitted with your choice of lenses for a personalized finish.
