Valentine’s Day has never really been about grand gestures alone. It’s about choosing something that feels personal. This year, eyewear steps into that space with a curated selection of styles from Tom Ford, Zegna, Christian Louboutin, Max Mara and GUESS. Thoughtful without being overdone, each piece works just as well as a gift for someone special as it does a quiet self-love purchase.
The edit moves between clean, understated frames and bolder designs that make their presence known. Some are subtle enough to become everyday staples, others feel like statement pieces you reach for when you want your look to do the talking. Together, they capture a more modern idea of romance – effortless, expressive, and rooted in personal style.
Top Picks for Her
TOM FORD ICON | Model: FT1328 / FT1328-F
Price: AED 2,755
Softly oversized with rounded edges, this Tom Ford frame balances impact with ease. The new three-dimensional T logo, finished with baguette-cut detailing on the temples, adds just enough intrigue without overpowering the design.
CHRISTIAN LOUBOUTIN | Model: LB0022 – Dolly
Price: AED 2,970
Geometric yet feminine, the Dolly sunglasses play with contrast. A structured acetate front meets an unexpected brow bar, detailed with signature studs and the house’s palmette texture. Subtle flashes of Christian Louboutin’s iconic colour palette appear across the metal bridge and temples.
MAX MARA | Model: MM0164
Price: AED 1,195
Bold in form but refined in execution, this rectangular shield design leans into sharp lines and a sculptural metal front. The tubular hinge, inspired by the work of Eileen Gray, feels both architectural and quietly elegant.
GUESS JEANS | Model: GJ00004
Price: AED 370
Youthful and trendy, this narrow rectangular frame is crafted in injected plastic for a lightweight, wearable finish. Branded temples featuring the GUESS JEANS logo and star detail give it a young, off-duty feel.
Top Picks for Him
ZEGNA | Model: EZ0288
Price: AED 2,520
A pilot silhouette reworked in Made-in-Japan titanium, this frame is all about precision and comfort. The double bridge adds structure, while flexible engraved temples improve grip and fit. Finished with polarised lenses and Zegna’s 232 Road Brand Mark, it’s designed for everyday wear with a luxury edge.
TOM FORD | Model: FT1305 – BURTON-02
Price: AED 1,970
Defined by clean lines and bevelled profiles, this acetate frame exudes quiet confidence. It’s the kind of design that stands out without trying too hard.
CHRISTIAN LOUBOUTIN | Model: LB0023 – Roller
Price: AED 3,465
Classic at first glance, but unmistakably Louboutin on closer inspection. Studs along the brow bar and bridge, refined spikes at the hinges, and the signature palmette pattern lining the temples bring a bold, luxurious edge to a timeless shape.
GUESS | Model: GU00274
Price: AED 520
A strong rectangular front anchors this modern design, softened by semi-opaque metal detailing along the brow bar. The injected plastic temples are finished with the updated double-line “G” logo, blending classic branding with a contemporary feel.
There’s something refreshing about a Valentine’s edit that doesn’t try too hard. These pieces aren’t designed for one evening or one outfit – they’re meant to stay. And in a season full of fleeting gestures, that kind of longevity feels like the most thoughtful choice of all.
