1977c Oversized Aviator Sunglasses

Product Insights & Style Tips

The KHAITE x Oliver Peoples 1977c Oversized Aviator Sunglasses channel that enviable blur between confidence and ease—the kind of energy that feels both archival and fiercely new. Rendered in richly nuanced acetate, the double-bridge silhouette leans masculine at a glance but reveals a sly softness in the sculpted lines and warm tortoise arms. The solid black lenses are all about unapologetic mystique, casting just the right amount of attitude without straying into costume territory. These are sunglasses that carry the cool of an instant classic, whispering both utility and opulence, finished with subtle, collaboration-exclusive details that speak to collectors of nuance as much as to devotees of minimalist luxury.

The oversized aviator frame flatters a spectrum of face shapes with its carefully portioned volume, giving just enough shelter from midday glare yet staying light on the bridge thanks to the ergonomic contours. The acetate build sits comfortably, easily sliding into a jacket pocket or clutch; the slightly tapered arms add punctuation without overwhelming your features. Effortless with both pared-back tailoring and laid-back weekend denim, the 1977c travels seamlessly from street to rooftop—even to a gallery opening or spontaneous weekend escape, transitioning as fluidly as KHAITE itself shifts between masculine angularity and feminine restraint.

This collaboration threads the DNA of both KHAITE and Oliver Peoples: American nonchalance with a collector’s commitment to elevated details. The 1977c stands out in a landscape of cookie-cutter frames, each element considered and never overdone—a reminder that true statement pieces need only whisper to be heard.
