So Karen Walker sunglasses are definitely the ‘it’ item of the season/year. Every celebrity and blogger in the country have been wearing some style of Karen Walker glasses.
Of course, designer sunglasses come with a designer price tag. I am the kind of person who breaks or looses sunglasses with startling regularity so I am committed to finding affordable dupes of designer styles rather than cry when I loose/break them.
Last year I found several great dupes to the Celine ‘Baby Audrey’ sunglasses and this year I’m doing the same for Karen Walker ‘The Number One’, ‘Helter Skelter’, and ‘Super Duper Strength’
$250
These have been a favorite for many a blogger this year. I love the retro take on the cat eye but a triple digit price tag is not in my budget. While on a quest for a cheaper replica, I only found a couple that were near exact matches.

These Amazon frames come in black and tortoise (below) and are pretty much an exact replica of the Karen Walker ‘The Number One’. I ordered a pair for myself and will definitely post some pictures of how they look when they arrive. All the comments on Amazon said that they are pretty much an exact match and could easily be confused with the original.
Both of these styles are nearly sold out however, so get yours quickly before they are gone!

These are the same frames as above but the tortoise version. The last time I checked these only had a few left in stock so hurry hurry to get yours!
$250
These are your classic oversized sunnies. They kind of remind me of Ray-Bans but super-sized! There are tons great options out there if you don’t want to pay designer price.
$5.90
These are a near exact match for the ‘Super Duper Strength’ sunglasses but for a tiny fraction of the price! The main difference between the two is instead of tortoise print frames, these Forever 21 sunglasses have a composite animal print that could be either tortoise or leopard.
$9.99
Amazon has a couple great options for ‘Super Duper Strength’ dupes, the first being these near exact matches for the Karen Walker version. Even the metal detail on the frames match up. These also come at a fraction of the price from the original ‘Super Duper Strength’ sunglasses.
$12.99 + free shipping
These are another option that are inspired by the ‘Super Duper’ but in black rather than tortoise. I found these after I lost my Forever 21 pair that were a close match to the Karen Walker’s but are also alas sold out. These are a very close match to the ones I lost and will make the perfect replacement.
$250
These ‘Helter Skelter’ frames are another popular style by Karen Walker. A little more retro, a little more hipster, these have also been seen on all sorts of celebrities, models, and bloggers. Target is the place to go if you are looking for a cheaper alternative.
$16.99
These Target frames are a close alternative to ‘Helter Skelter’. With some small differences, these sunglasses will give you the same to-cool-for-school vibes as the originals.
$14.99
These aren’t exact replica as the Karen Walker version’s frames go all the way around the glass but these are a very close alternative. The ‘Helter Skelter’ is simply a new take on the club master style seen here.
Are you lusting after a pair of Karen Walker sunnies? Will you be purchasing the real deal or an off brand pari inspired by the original?
