Pilot sunglasses are the original aviator family: a teardrop or squared lens, a brow bar and a thin metal frame built for bright skies. Our authentic edit runs from Porsche Design and Tom Ford to Cartier, Burberry, Dolce & Gabbana, Emporio Armani, Maui Jim and Police, plus the Ray-Ban RB3025 Aviator that defined the shape.
Pilot styles that lead the range
- Porsche Design P8942: precise engineering with spring hinges for a secure, comfortable fit.
- Burberry BE3166 and BE3167: modern pilot sunglasses with clean metal lines.
- Dolce & Gabbana DG2315: a bolder pilot with Italian detailing.
- Maui Jim 421 Sugar Beach: a pilot frame with Maui Jim polarised lenses for glare off water and roads.
Tom Ford and Cartier pilot sunglasses add a dressier option for evenings and travel. The shape suits oval, square and heart-shaped faces, and men's pilot sunglasses remain one of the most searched styles in the UAE, though many frames work for her too. Every pair provides UV protection, and many can be fitted with prescription sun lenses; our team will confirm for your model.

Frequently asked
Are pilot sunglasses the same as aviators?
Aviator is the best-known pilot shape, with a teardrop lens and double bridge, as on Ray-Ban RB3025. Pilot sunglasses also include squared lenses and single brow bars, such as Burberry BE3166 or Porsche Design P8942. All share the brow bar and lenses that dip lower at the outer edge.
Which pilot sunglasses are polarised?
Maui Jim pilot sunglasses, such as 421 Sugar Beach, use Maui Jim polarised lenses that cut glare from water, sand and roads. Other models in this collection have standard tinted lenses with full UV protection. The lens type is listed on each product page so you can compare before ordering.
Do pilot sunglasses suit women?
Yes. Men's pilot sunglasses are the most searched version, but slimmer metal frames and softer shapes from Cartier, Tom Ford and Dolce & Gabbana suit her well. Choose a lens width close to the width of your eye area so the frame does not overwhelm a smaller face.
Can pilot sunglasses be made with prescription lenses?
Many pilot frames can be fitted with prescription sun lenses in single vision or progressive, since their deep lens shape suits most prescriptions. Large or strongly curved frames may limit higher powers, so our team will confirm for your chosen model. Upload or bring your prescription when you order.
