Your sunnies drawer is about to feel seriously out-dated. Ferragamo’s razor-sharp pilots, Gucci’s recycled ReAce collectibles, Kenzo’s inflatable-logo rectangles, Calvin Klein’s eco colour blocks, and Ray-Ban’s AI-powered Wayfarers are lining up to claim face time. Consider this your cheat sheet to the season’s most brag-worthy frames.
Alaïa
Alaïa’s Winter/Spring 2025 eyewear sees the house flex its sculptural muscles with the Bold Mask, an oversized acetate visor cut in raw, architectural lines. Wide edges frame the face in one sleek sweep, while enamel Alaïa lettering along the temples signs off the modernist statement.
Ferragamo
Ferragamo’s FW25 eyewear splits its personality in two: SF323S remodels the pilot mask with razor-cut corners, Gancini-print metal and stay-put silicone pads, while SF327S lifts vintage aviator lines into feather-light titanium, topping a double bridge with a logo-etched bar in satin gold or gunmetal luxe.
Gucci: ReAce trio (GG1906S / 1907S / 1910S)
Gucci’s limited-edition ReAce trio—GG1906S, GG1907S, GG1910S—spins pre-consumer acetate scraps into thick, earth-toned rectangles, ovals and soft cat-eyes, each stamped with a unique number. The swirling pattern on every frame is one-of-a-kind, proving recycled can look runway-ready while still flashing that discreet temple logo.
Gucci: Travel-retail exclusives
For flyers, duty-free-only styles have landed for Spring-Summer 2025, featuring cut-out Interlocking G or 3-D Gucci temple logos, multiple fits, and a campaign geared to international travellers.
Calvin Klein
Calvin Klein’s Spring 2025 colour-block duo reshapes the classic rectangle in warm, muted palettes, each frame cut from eco-minded Acetate Renew. CK25500S leans into milled horn-rose volumes, while CK25501S sports a straight brow in black, blue or Havana/khaki, all sealed with sleek, sticker-logo temples.
Kenzo
Kenzo’s new ‘Inflatable’ shades blow up the chunky rectangle trend with puffy 3-D logo temples and a cheeky “Do Not Over-Inflate” warning stamped across the brow. Cast in matte lime, sky, or khaki acetate, the playful frame packs Nigo’s streetwear energy into pool-party-ready eyewear for SS25.
Ray-Ban Meta
Ray-Ban Meta arrived in the UAE on 12 May, fresh from an exclusive Gitano Beach Club preview, and brings wearable tech into two classic silhouettes—Wayfarer (regular or Large) and the inclusive Skyler in new Shiny Chalky Grey. A discreet 12-MP ultrawide camera shoots high-quality photos, immersive 1080p portrait video, and 30-minute Instagram or Facebook Lives, while five microphones and upgraded open-ear speakers boost bass and noise suppression for seamless music-to-call switching. “Hey Meta” voice control taps on-board AI for local tips; live translation across four languages rolls out later this spring. Lenses span prescription, clear, sun, polarized, or Transitions®, and each pair ships with a compact charging case. Prices start at Dhs 1,330 and the enhanced Meta View app now lets you edit, add effects, and manage multiple glasses in one place.
