We love sunglasses. No, we LOVE sunglasses. First of all, they are an absolute must-have when the sun is as fierce as it is in Dubai. To keep your eyes protected, always opt for sunglasses with UV protection. But let us be honest, they are far more than just practical — sunglasses are the ultimate accessory. They instantly elevate even the simplest look, adding a touch of sophistication and lending the wearer an air of mystery. And finally, just take a glance at the stunning selection we have curated for you. Some might call it impulse shopping, but we prefer to think of it as a style investment.

Aviators

First introduced in the early 1930s, aviator sunglasses have secured their place as an all-time classic ever since. These sleek, teardrop-shaped frames are the epitome of timeless elegance. Whether you are donning the iconic Ray-Bans, making a bold statement with Tom Ford, or adding a flirtatious twist with Mykita’s curvy pink frames, aviators will forever remain effortlessly cool.

Rectangle

The hottest shape of 2024? Rectangular sunglasses, without a doubt. These sleek, narrow frames suit any face shape, while delivering a distinct secret-agent edge. Channel your inner cool with the futuristic style of Victoria Beckham, embrace artistic flair with Balenciaga, or keep things sharp and structured with Alexander McQueen. This is the shape that quietly says, “I mean business.”

Cat Eye

Time to embrace your inner diva. The cat-eye shape is the perfect balance between ladylike elegance and undeniable attitude — ideal for sultry nights out or casually chic daytime looks. Stand out in Tortoiseshell Anine Bing frames, go retro with gradient lenses from Retrosuperfuture, or keep it understated yet effortlessly cool with a pair from Jimmy Choo. Ready to unleash your charm?

Oval

Keep it round — or more precisely, oval. This shape lends a relaxed, laid-back feel to any outfit, perfect for when you want to keep things easy and breezy. Fans of streetwear will love the bold vibes of Palm Angels, while Jacquemus adds a dash of playful irony with lemon-hued frames. For those craving a touch of ’80s glam, Linda Farrow’s glittery designs are simply unmissable.

Oversized

When it comes to sunglasses, bigger is always better. Oversized frames are your go-to for turning heads, whilst keeping the sun (and any unwanted attention) at bay. If you are after edgy, modern chic, Rick Owens is your man (naturally in black — what else would you expect?). Prefer a vintage-inspired look? Gucci’s oversized frames channel a retro glamour that never goes out of style, and Aries’ cinematic tortoiseshell design will have you feeling like a star of the silver screen.

Very special

Sometimes, you don’t want to hide behind your sunglasses — sometimes, you want to be the centre of attention. Enter the statement frames. Saint Laurent’s playful heart-shaped glasses are all about fun, while Balenciaga’s ski-cat designs take you straight from the streets to the slopes. And let us not forget Coperni’s genius clip-on design (no brackets at all), my personal favourite for its pure innovation and style.
