DESCRIPTION RATINGS & REVIEWS PRESCRIPTION GUIDE

The Elle EL13573C Clip On transforms your Elle prescription eyeglasses into sunglasses in seconds. This magnetic clip-on attaches securely to compatible Elle frames, giving you instant sun protection without the expense of a separate pair of prescription sunglasses. Available in three acetate finishes—Gray, Green, and Rose—the EL13573C features a square shape that complements the modern, Parisian-inspired aesthetic Elle is known for.

Clip-on sunglasses solve a real problem for prescription eyeglass wearers: how to protect your eyes outdoors without constantly switching between two pairs of glasses or investing hundreds in prescription sunglasses. The EL13573C attaches via magnets embedded in the frame, creating a flush, secure fit that won't slip or scratch your lenses. When you step indoors, simply remove the clip and you're back to clear vision—no fumbling with cases or worrying about leaving a second pair behind.

The full-rim acetate construction keeps the clip lightweight while providing durability for daily use. The square lens shape offers good coverage for reducing glare and blocking UV rays. Because this is a clip-on only (the base eyeglasses are sold separately), you'll need the matching Elle EL13573 frame for a proper fit. This design is ideal if you already own the base frame and lost your original clip, or if you want a different color option to match your style.

At under $50, the Elle EL13573C Clip On delivers an affordable way to add sun protection to your everyday eyewear. It's compact enough to slip into a pocket or glove box, making it practical for driving, outdoor errands, or any situation where light conditions change throughout the day.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does this clip-on come with the eyeglasses frame?

No, the Elle EL13573C is a clip-on only—the base eyeglasses are sold separately. This clip is designed to attach magnetically to the matching Elle EL13573 frame. If you need both the frame and clip-on, you'll need to purchase them as separate items.

Will this clip-on fit my existing Elle eyeglasses?

The EL13573C is specifically designed to fit the Elle EL13573 frame. Clip-ons must match the exact shape and size of your prescription frame for proper fit and secure magnetic attachment. If you have a different Elle model, check for the corresponding clip-on model number that matches your frame.

How do magnetic clip-on sunglasses attach to the frame?

Magnetic clip-ons use small neodymium magnets embedded in both the base frame and the clip-on piece. The magnets create a secure hold that keeps the clip flush against your prescription lenses without clips or hooks that can scratch. Simply align the clip over your frame and the magnets snap it into place.

Do clip-on sunglasses provide UV protection?

Quality clip-on sunglasses should provide UV protection, though the level varies by manufacturer. Look for labels indicating UV400 or 100% UVA/UVB protection to ensure adequate shielding from harmful rays. The tinted lenses reduce glare and improve visual comfort in bright conditions.

Are clip-on sunglasses better than prescription sunglasses?

Clip-ons offer different advantages: they're more affordable (typically under $50 vs. $100+ for prescription sunglasses), eliminate the need to carry two pairs of glasses, and adapt to any prescription change since they attach to your existing frames. Prescription sunglasses provide a dedicated outdoor look and may offer wider coverage, but clip-ons excel for quick indoor-outdoor transitions.

Can I use clip-on sunglasses for driving?

Yes, clip-on sunglasses work well for driving, especially polarized versions that reduce glare from windshields and pavement. They're easy to attach and remove as lighting conditions change, making them practical for drivers who transition between tunnels, shaded areas, and bright sun. Ensure the clip fits securely and doesn't obstruct your peripheral vision.

Compare Elle Clip-On Sunglasses

All Elle clip-on sunglasses share the same core benefits: magnetic attachment, acetate construction, and an affordable $49.59 price that's far less than prescription sunglasses. The key difference is frame compatibility—each clip-on is precision-matched to a specific Elle eyeglass model.

Elle EL13573C vs. EL13510C vs. EL13511C

The Elle EL13573C features a square shape with a unisex appeal, available in Gray, Green, and Rose. It's designed for the EL13573 base frame and offers balanced proportions that work for a range of face shapes.

The Elle EL13510C pairs with the EL13510 frame and offers similar square styling. If you're choosing between these two, your decision comes down to which base frame you already own or prefer—the clip-ons themselves are functionally identical.

The Elle EL13511C takes a different direction with a semi-cat-eye shape that skews more feminine. It's a great choice if you want a softer, more vintage-inspired look, but the EL13573C's square shape offers broader appeal for both men and women.

Bottom line: Choose your Elle clip-on based on which base frame you own or plan to buy. All three deliver the same quality and value—the difference is purely aesthetic and compatibility.
