For maximum glamour and undeniable presence, Jimmy Choo butterfly sunglasses are hard to beat. This collection of nine genuine, authorised styles — including the JC4004HB, JC5014, JC5013U, JC5006U, JC5001B and JC4010B — spans £205 to £545 and arrives with free UK delivery and our 14-day returns policy. The butterfly shape, with its wide, sweeping outer edges and generous lenses, is the frame you reach for when you want to feel a little bit red carpet, and Jimmy Choo does it with signature crystal, glitter and metallic flair.
The drama of Jimmy Choo butterfly sunglasses
The butterfly silhouette flares outward at the top corners like open wings, creating an oversized, feminine shape that is both glamorous and genuinely flattering. Jimmy Choo leans into that drama with couture detailing: crystal-set temples, glittered acetate, sculpted metal browlines and the interlocking JC logo. The larger lens area also means more coverage from the sun, making these a practical as well as a beautiful choice for bright holidays and long summer days. Every pair is made in Italy and fitted with UV400 lenses that block 100% of UVA and UVB rays.
This is designer eyewear at its most expressive, and the craftsmanship reflects it — beautifully finished acetate, reinforced hinges and, on many styles, adjustable nose pads so a larger frame still sits comfortably and securely.
Who suits the butterfly shape, and how to choose
The butterfly's wide upper line and tapered lower edge make it especially flattering on:
- Heart-shaped faces, where the flared top balances a narrower chin beautifully.
- Round faces, which gain definition and structure from the angled, upswept corners.
- Oval faces, which can carry the bold proportions with ease.
Because butterfly frames are larger, fit matters. Check that the frame width suits your face so it does not slide, and look for adjustable nose pads if you want to fine-tune how the frame sits on your cheeks. If you prefer a slightly more restrained look, choose a butterfly with a gentler flare and a mid-size lens; for full-on glamour, go bold and oversized.
Materials, colour and detailing
Butterfly Jimmy Choo sunglasses are typically crafted from substantial acetate, sometimes combined with metal accents at the temples and browline. Acetate holds the house's rich colour palette wonderfully — from glossy black and warm havana to nude, rose and crystal-embellished finishes. Gradient tints are a natural fit for this shape, softening the large lens and flattering the face, while solid tints keep the look sleek and modern. The higher end of this collection reflects premium materials and elaborate embellishment.
Butterfly frames with your prescription
At Ardor, many of these statement frames can be glazed with your own prescription, so you never have to compromise on clarity. Our glazing service covers single vision, varifocal and bifocal lenses, plus tinted, polarised and photochromic upgrades. The generous lens size of a butterfly frame makes it a lovely canvas for a gradient prescription tint. If you would like a fully corrective tinted lens, browse our wider prescription sunglasses range for inspiration before selecting your frame here. Prescription orders take around 7–10 working days for glazing.
Styling and occasions
Butterfly sunglasses are made for making an entrance. They finish holiday and resort looks with instant glamour, elevate a simple maxi dress, and feel right at home at races, weddings and rooftop events. The oversized shape pairs beautifully with a swept-up hairstyle and statement earrings, and it offers welcome coverage on the brightest days. For a coordinated look, match warm tortoiseshell frames to gold accessories, or keep an all-black frame crisp and modern against monochrome dressing.

If you love a bold frame, it is worth seeing the alternatives. Compare the butterfly's flare with a sculpted cat-eye sunglasses frame, or a bolder square-shaped sunglasses silhouette.

All stock is genuine, authorised and covered by free UK delivery.
Caring for oversized frames
Larger frames deserve a little extra care. Clean the lenses with the supplied microfibre cloth and lens spray, store the sunglasses in their case to protect the wide lenses, and keep them away from heat that can warp acetate. Rinse off salt water and suncream after the beach, and hold the frame by both temples when putting it on to keep the hinges aligned. With gentle handling, your butterfly frames will stay pristine for many summers.
Buying a statement frame with confidence
An oversized butterfly frame is an investment piece, so authenticity and service matter. As an authorised UK stockist, Ardor supplies only genuine Jimmy Choo butterfly sunglasses, each presented in its official case with a cleaning cloth and documentation. Every order ships free within the UK, and our 14-day returns policy lets you try the shape at home before committing, with return postage paid by the customer. Given the range of prices and embellishment in this collection, our team is glad to talk you through the differences between styles — from crystal-detailed showstoppers to more restrained everyday butterflies — so you choose a frame that suits both your face and the way you like to wear it.
