Dubai may be the home of extravagance and luxury, but it doesn’t just attract the rich and famous and influencers with millions of followers. For Joe and Jane Bloggs, the Emirates are synonymous with holidays in the sun, a wild night life, endless hours of shopping and dreamy career opportunities.
EYESEEmag has the lowdown on the must-have eyewear brands and styles that will ensure you don’t go unnoticed in the city where showing off your wealth is simply the norm.

DUBAI – THE PLACE TO BE

In June 2023, The Economist ranked Dubai number three in the top 10 cities in the world, after Miami and Singapore.

In the space of just 200 years, the modest village of Bedouins and pearl hunters , with no running water or roads, has become one of the most modern cities in the world. The discovery of oil in 1966, combined with Sheikh Rachid’s vision, led to huge investments in infrastructure and architectural projects, each one more spectacular than the last. His son and heir, Sheikh Maktoum, followed in his footsteps building futuristic towers, luxury hotels and giant shopping centres and planning prestigious events: Fashion Week, Globe Soccer Awards, special exhibitions (Jean Paul Gaultier from A to Z). Dubai is still the place to be if you want to see and be seen, and with the dazzling sunlight, ultra-glam glasses promising maximum protection are a must.

GLASSES FIT FOR A DUBAI STAR

Nothing is too beautiful or too expensive in Dubai. Just look at Zeina Khoury and her friends, stars of Netflix series Dubai Bling. Nicknamed the Versace Queen, the Lebanese businesswoman is the personification of Dubai’s attention-grabbing, glam fashion. When it comes to sunglasses, luxury brands set the tone, whether it’s black frames with sophisticated details and gold logos or more extravagant styles.
