Our Jimmy Choo butterfly glasses collection brings together the label's most flattering optical frames, cut in the sweeping, upswept silhouette that has become a signature of red-carpet eyewear. Butterfly frames flare outwards at the temples to mimic the shape of open wings, lifting the cheekbones and softening the brow — a look Jimmy Choo has refined across models such as the JC3024U, JC3059, JC3013U, JC3004B and JC2006. Every pair in this edit is a genuine, authorised Jimmy Choo product, ready to be glazed with your prescription at Ardor Eyewear and delivered free across the UK.
Why choose Jimmy Choo butterfly glasses
The butterfly shape sits somewhere between a cat-eye and an oversized square, giving you drama without the sharp points. It is one of the most face-flattering optical shapes because the widest part of the frame draws the eye upward and outward, balancing a narrower chin and adding structure to rounder faces. Jimmy Choo layers its own house codes on top of that classic form: shimmering acetate laminates, crystal-set temples, the interlocking JC logo and the occasional flash of star or lettering detail on the arms. The result is a pair of glasses that reads as jewellery as much as eyewear.
Because these are prescription-ready frames rather than sunglasses, they are designed to be worn every day — at the desk, on the school run, in meetings and out for dinner. Prices in this collection run from around £150 to £205 for the frame, with lenses added to suit your prescription. If you love the wider designer selection, our full designer eyeglasses range and the broader prescription glasses collection give you hundreds more options to compare.
How to find the right Jimmy Choo butterfly glasses for your face
Butterfly glasses are naturally forgiving, but a little fitting knowledge helps you land the perfect pair.
- Round and oval faces: The angular lift of a butterfly frame adds definition. Look for a frame with a slightly squarer lower edge to introduce contrast.
- Square and rectangular faces: Choose a softer, more curved butterfly to balance a strong jaw. The upswept temples counter angular features beautifully.
- Heart-shaped faces: A butterfly frame that is wider at the top mirrors your natural proportions — keep the detailing towards the browline.
- Smaller faces: Opt for a moderate butterfly rather than a fully oversized one so the frame does not overwhelm your features.
When you are checking fit, focus on three measurements printed on the inside of the arm: the lens width, the bridge width and the temple length (for example 53–16–140). If you already own a pair of glasses that fit well, match those numbers as a starting point. The frame should sit level, rest on the bridge of the nose without pinching, and hug the sides of the head without leaving marks behind the ears.
Materials, colours and craftsmanship
Most Jimmy Choo butterfly glasses are made from premium Italian acetate — a plant-based plastic that is polished to a deep, glossy finish and is warm and comfortable against the skin. Acetate holds colour brilliantly, which is why you will find rich tortoiseshells, translucent nudes, blush pinks, smoky greys and glittering black laminates throughout the range. Metal and combination frames add slimmer profiles and often carry crystal-set temples or fine metal browbars for extra sparkle. Nose pads, hinges and lens rims are engineered for daily durability, and every frame arrives with a Jimmy Choo case and cleaning cloth.
Lens and prescription options at Ardor
Every frame in this collection can be fitted with prescription lenses at Ardor Eyewear. Choose from single vision for distance or reading, varifocal lenses for seamless near-to-far vision, bifocals, blue-light filtering lenses for screen-heavy days, tinted lenses, or light-reactive photochromic lenses that darken outdoors. Anti-reflective and scratch-resistant coatings are available to keep your view crisp. Prescription orders are typically glazed and dispatched within about 7–10 working days, and UK delivery is free.
Styling your Jimmy Choo butterfly glasses
Butterfly frames are inherently glamorous, so they pair naturally with polished, feminine outfits — a tailored blazer, a silk blouse or an evening dress. But they also lend a fashion-forward edge to relaxed looks, adding instant structure to jeans and a knit. If you want to coordinate your eyewear wardrobe, many shoppers pair an optical butterfly frame with a statement pair of cat-eye sunglasses for sunny days, since the two shapes share the same flattering, upswept attitude. For a complete designer look, browse our women's prescription frames for coordinating everyday styles.
