Some gifts are lovely to receive; others become part of someone's signature style. When it comes to finding something a little more considered for the woman who appreciates fashion, designer eyewear makes a rather compelling choice. After all, a beautiful pair of glasses or sunglasses is more than an accessory: it's something she can wear, collect and make entirely her own.
Approaching Christmas, we've curated a selection of this season's designer eyewear new releases, bringing together luxurious materials, distinctive silhouettes and unmistakable signatures from some of fashion's most celebrated houses. From timeless aviators and delicate rimless designs to oversized vintage-inspired frames and unapologetic statement pieces, there's something for every expression of personal style. Available to purchase at Pretavoir, selected frames can also be customised with prescription lenses and other lens options, making your gift all the more personal.
Whether she's a romantic at heart, a frequent flyer or someone who believes accessories should always make an impression, consider this your guide to finding her next favourite pair.
The Timeless Muse: Elegant Designer Glasses and Sunglasses
For women who appreciate enduring elegance, the appeal lies in the details. Refined silhouettes, premium materials and thoughtful embellishments can turn an otherwise familiar frame into something truly special. These are designs that transcend seasonal trends, proving that a little luxury never goes out of style.

Aviators have long been a wardrobe staple, but Ferragamo SF346S gives the familiar silhouette a more feminine interpretation. The gold-tone frame is paired with blue-to-pink gradient lenses, while the house's iconic Gancini symbol appears as the frame's bullet-hole detail. It's a subtle designer signature with a rather pretty twist.

Black square sunglasses are already a dependable classic, but Carolina Herrera HER 0407/G/S takes them somewhere more decorative. Gold bead and pearl-like details adorn the temples, creating a jewellery-inspired finish against the understated black frame. Paired with grey gradient lenses, this is an elegant choice for the woman who enjoys a little embellishment without going overboard.
Bottom left: Dior Bow O R1I 2000
Tortoiseshell oval optical glasses receive a distinctly feminine update with a three-dimensional gold bow detail in the Dior Bow O R1I. The motif is particularly noteworthy following Jonathan Anderson's appointment as Dior's creative director and the debut of his inaugural collection for the house in 2026. A sought-after design reference for those keeping a close eye on fashion's latest creative direction.
Bottom right: Chopard SCHM94S 300F
When everyday accessories meet high jewellery, the result can be quite extraordinary. These rimless Chopard SCHM94S sunglasses feature rose-gold-tone temples and a matching nose bridge, complemented by grey gradient lenses. Look closer and the floral hinge motif, adorned with high-quality zircons, reveals the craftsmanship behind this design from Chopard's High Jewellery eyewear collection. For the woman who appreciates her accessories with a little extra sparkle.
The Jet-Set Sophisticate: Luxury Eyewear for Travel and Getaways
Some women collect passport stamps; others collect beautiful sunglasses along the way. For the woman whose calendar includes city breaks, winter escapes and spontaneous weekend getaways, eyewear needs to be as versatile as her itinerary. These designs bring together distinctive aviator-inspired shapes, practical features and a healthy dose of holiday glamour. Because looking stylish at the airport is one thing, but looking equally fabulous on arrival is quite another.
Top left: Victoria Beckham VB7016/S X55/70
An aviator with a difference, the Victoria Beckham VB7016/S combines a gold-tone metal structure with green marble-like detailing. It's a refreshing departure from the traditional all-metal aviator, adding a little colour and character while retaining the familiar versatility of the silhouette. An elegant companion for everything from city sightseeing to a leisurely lunch by the coast.
Top right: Balenciaga BB0379S 004
Who says winter sports have to be all black and technical-looking? The Balenciaga BB0379S goggles bring a more playful attitude to the slopes with their pink mirrored lenses. The sculptural lower rim adds an architectural edge, making the design feel unmistakably Balenciaga. For the woman who wants her ski wardrobe to be every bit as considered as her après-ski outfit.
Middle centre: Loewe Slim LW50112I 020
Aviator frames and jet-setting go hand in hand, but frequent travellers who wear optical glasses deserve something equally distinctive. The Loewe Slim LW50112I combines grey and gold in a design that balances understated sophistication with a little creative eccentricity. It's the sort of frame that looks equally at home in a business lounge, a boutique hotel or a favourite neighbourhood café abroad.
Bottom left: Ray-Ban Meta (Gen 3) Aviator RW4016 601/1M
Making memories is half the fun of travelling, and sometimes the best moments happen when reaching for a camera simply isn't convenient. Enter the Ray-Ban Meta (Gen 3) Aviator, combining the familiar appeal of an aviator silhouette with smart features including a built-in camera, audio and AI controls. Its clear-to-green photochromic lenses adapt to changing light, making them a versatile option for moving between indoor and outdoor settings. A particularly clever gift for the woman who likes her accessories to do a little more.
The Vintage Romantic: Retro-Inspired Designer Glasses and Sunglasses
For women who love a little nostalgia and believe life is better with a romantic filter, vintage-inspired eyewear is an easy way to express their personality. Think oversized silhouettes, softly curved edges, tortoiseshell finishes and feminine details that recall the glamour of another era. Whether she's dressing for a weekend brunch or simply adding a little charm to an everyday outfit, these frames make romanticising the ordinary rather effortless.
Top right: Isabel Marant IM 0207 WR9
Oversized square optical glasses in tortoiseshell are a total retro mood. The Isabel Marant IM 0207 brings together a familiar vintage-inspired shape and a warm patterned finish, creating a frame that feels expressive without being overly elaborate. A lovely choice for someone who gravitates towards classic pieces with a little bohemian character.
Middle left: Chloé Wavy CH0404S 004
If subtle isn't quite her thing, these oversized Chloé CH0404S sunglasses offer a more colourful interpretation of vintage glamour. The green frame is paired with striking tricolour pink, clear and green gradient lenses, while curved gold-tone temples add a delicate finishing touch. Playful, feminine and wonderfully distinctive, they're made for someone who enjoys a little colour in her accessories.
Middle right: Valentino VG0056S 001
There is something undeniably romantic about a butterfly silhouette. The Valentino VG0056S combines a dramatic black-and-white colour combination with an oversized shape that feels straight out of a glamorous bygone era. It's an elegant option for women who appreciate a little old-school femininity, with enough contemporary attitude to keep it from feeling like a costume.
Bottom left: Miu Miu MU C01S 14L4I0
A new release for Autumn 2026, the Miu Miu MU C01S brings together a tortoiseshell finish and pink lenses for a distinctly playful take on vintage-inspired sunglasses. The combination has a charming, girly appeal, while the frame's retro character makes it feel right at home in a wardrobe filled with nostalgic references. Think romantic weekend dressing, but with a Miu Miu attitude. P.S: Hailey Bieber wore this exact frame in the Miu Miu Autumn/Winter 2026 campaign.
The Modern Minimalist: Understated Luxury Glasses and Sunglasses
Not every woman wants her eyewear to do much talking. For those who believe less is more, the appeal of minimalist design lies in beautifully considered proportions, subtle branding and versatile colour combinations. These frames are timeless without being predictable, offering a refined finishing touch that works just as well with everyday tailoring as it does with a more relaxed wardrobe.
Top right: CHANEL 5569 1856/73
White sunglasses might not be the first choice for someone who prefers minimalism, but this CHANEL 5569 design makes a convincing case. The black upper lining creates a subtle contrast against the white frame, while brown lenses soften the overall appearance. Finished with a discreet Double C logo on the temples, it offers a recognisable designer signature without relying on overt embellishment.
Top left: Barton Perreira Mileva BP50152U 030
Black and gold make a dependable pairing, but the Barton Perreira Mileva gives the combination a little more character. Its angular oval silhouette introduces a sharper edge to an otherwise soft frame, creating a flattering balance between femininity and structure. A sophisticated optical choice for women who appreciate understated design with an interesting twist.
Bottom left: Gucci GG1680S 009
The viral Gucci sunglasses return in a fresh brown-burgundy colourway! The GG1680S 009 combines brown lenses with a pink mirrored finish, giving the design a subtle play of colour and light. Very in tune with the holiday season's festivity, it's an interesting alternative to traditional black sunglasses for women who want something distinctive but still easy to incorporate into their wardrobe.
Bottom right: Tom Ford Erin-02 TF1412 01D
A slightly cat-eye silhouette is an easy way to introduce femininity without going too far into statement territory. The black Tom Ford Erin-02 features a squared shape with gently upswept edges, complemented by grey smoke polarised lenses. A versatile choice for someone who likes her sunglasses polished, flattering and ready for practically any occasion.
The Statement Collector: Bold Designer Eyewear That Turns Heads
For women who aren't afraid of a little drama, eyewear can be the main event rather than the finishing touch. Unconventional silhouettes, bold colours and recognisable designer details make these frames particularly memorable. After all, when the accessories are this good, who needs an elaborate outfit?
Top centre: CAZAL Mod 665 004
Few eyewear names are as instantly recognisable for bold design as CAZAL. The new Mod 665 sunglasses combines gold-tone metal with transparent elements and grey lenses, while its intricately designed frame brings plenty of personality to the aviator silhouette. It's a confident choice for the woman who appreciates eyewear with a strong identity and a little punchy attitude.
Middle left: Alexander McQueen AM0578S 001
A statement piece doesn't necessarily need sparkle, embellishment or an oversized logo. Sometimes, the silhouette says everything. The black Alexander McQueen AM0578S features an oversized square shape with a strong, sculptural presence. Who needs to make an entrance when the sunglasses have already done the talking?
Middle right: Balmain B-Aura BPS 200B
Tortoiseshell takes on a bolder personality with the angular cat-eye silhouette of the Balmain B-Aura. Its thick frame and brown lenses are complemented by gold studs and distinctive logo lettering on the temples, referencing the initials of the house's founder, Pierre Balmain. A striking combination of heritage and glamour.
Bottom centre: Versace VE1320 1525
Tortoiseshell, gold and the Medusa: three ingredients that make for a very Versace combination. The round Versace VE1320 optical glasses bring together a classic shape and unmistakable house detailing, creating a design that feels decorative, confident and full of personality. A fitting choice for the woman who believes even her everyday prescription glasses should have a little presence.
