Collection: Michael Kors Women's Aviator Sunglasses

Michael Kors women's aviator sunglasses reinterpret an iconic shape through a glamorous, feminine lens, and this collection brings the designer's most flattering aviators together for UK shoppers. The aviator's teardrop lenses and slim metal frame have long been shorthand for effortless cool, and Michael Kors elevates them with delicate hardware, gradient and mirrored finishes, and destination-inspired names such as MK5007 Hvar, MK1160 Biarritz, MK1149 Cyprus and MK1128J Empire. Every pair is 100% genuine, supplied as an authorised UK stockist.

Why women love Michael Kors aviator sunglasses

The aviator is endlessly wearable. Its rounded lower edge softens the face, the generous lenses provide real sun coverage and a touch of glamour, and the lightweight metal frame feels barely-there. Michael Kors gives the shape a distinctly feminine finish — think rose-gold and warm metal tones, softly tinted and gradient lenses, and elegant temple detailing that reads as designer at a glance. In this collection prices sit in an accessible band of around £95 to £130, making a genuine designer aviator an easy, versatile addition to any wardrobe.

With roots in New York since 1981 and a jet-set aesthetic at its core, Michael Kors treats the aviator as a holiday essential and an everyday hero in equal measure — the frame you slip on for the school run, the terrace lunch or the drive to the coast.

Finding Michael Kors women's aviator sunglasses that flatter

Aviators suit a wide range of faces, but a few pointers help you choose the most flattering pair:

  • Square or angular faces — the curved lower edge beautifully softens a defined jaw. This is the classic match.
  • Heart-shaped faces — aviators balance a wider forehead and narrower chin, especially in softer, tapered styles.
  • Round faces — choose a slightly larger or squared-off aviator to add a little definition.
  • Oval faces — wonderfully versatile; lead with lens colour and frame tone to suit your mood.

Adjustable nose pads on most metal aviators let you fine-tune the fit, and sizing up gives a more fashion-forward, oversized look while a mid-size stays timeless.

Materials, tones and lenses

Classic aviators are built from lightweight metal, and Michael Kors offers them in gold, rose-gold, silver and gunmetal tones to suit warm and cool colouring alike. Adjustable silicone nose pads add all-day comfort. Lenses provide full UV400 protection, with beautiful gradient, tinted and mirrored finishes that flatter and soften. For driving or bright days by the water, a polarised lens dramatically reduces glare — see our polarised sunglasses edit. For a fail-safe, go-with-everything option, a classic dark aviator is hard to beat.

Prescription aviators at Ardor

The aviator's generous lens area makes it a superb prescription frame, comfortably taking single vision and varifocal lenses. At Ardor we glaze most Michael Kors aviators with single vision, varifocal, bifocal, blue-light, tinted and photochromic lenses, so your designer shades can also be your everyday glasses on bright days. This is ideal for women who drive or holiday often. Explore the possibilities in our prescription sunglasses collection; glazing typically takes 7-10 working days.

Styling women's aviators

Few frames pair as easily. Rose-gold aviators warm up neutrals and add polish to summer dresses; silver and gunmetal versions feel sharper against monochrome and tailoring. A softly tinted or gradient lens flatters the complexion and photographs beautifully. Because the aviator is inherently elegant, it lifts even the simplest outfit — a plain tee, jeans and a great pair of aviators is a look in itself. It is the accessory that carries you from morning coffee to evening drinks.

Keeping your aviators pristine

Metal aviators are light but can slip out of alignment, so store them in the supplied case and set them down lens-up. Clean with a microfibre cloth and lens spray — never fabric or tissue, which can scratch. Check the nose-pad screws occasionally, keep the sunglasses out of hot cars, and use both hands when putting them on to protect the hinges.

Understanding the size numbers

The three figures printed inside the temple arm reveal the fit: lens width, bridge width and temple length, all in millimetres. For women's aviators, a lens width in the mid-to-high 50s reads as a flattering, classic size, while a smaller bridge suits narrower nose profiles. If you have an old favourite that fits perfectly, note its numbers and use them as a shortcut when choosing your next Michael Kors aviator. If the measurements feel confusing, our team is always happy to help you translate them.
