“Christian Dior MONSIEUR” 80’s Oversized aviator sunglasses

Since our founding, we have continuously pursued the essence of elegance and carefully incorporated the sophistication of couture into everyday wear. From Christian Dior, we are pleased to introduce a masterpiece that vividly reflects the unique refinement of the men's line and the spirit of the era.

This piece features large lens shapes and a flowing, wide-line design that provides a clear presence around the face. Regarding its age, the interior of the temple bears the inscription © Ch.Dior monsieur, and the manufacturing country is marked as MADE IN AUSTRIA. Additionally, the model number 2258A 12 130, typical of license eyewear from that period, confirms it as a piece from the Christian Dior MONSIEUR line around the 1980s. Considering it predates Dior Homme and other later names, this makes it a highly credible and authentic item.

The front is made of resin with a tortoiseshell-like depth and pattern, maintaining a calm brown appearance from afar. When viewed up close, subtle shades with a warm, caramel-like glow gently emerge, creating a large size that is elegant without being intimidating, exuding a refined glamour. The lenses are oval, slightly deeper vertically, reminiscent of classic aviators, but instead of a rugged metal frame, they are refined with a luxurious softness that is very attractive.

The most striking feature is the design around the bridge, which has a delicate cutout in the center, giving the entire front a light, airy feel. It ensures ample lens area while carefully avoiding a heavy appearance. These details are not just decorative but function to delicately shape the impression when worn, balancing size and elegance typical of high-quality men's accessories from the 1980s, reflecting a strong sense of aesthetic.

On the sides, slim gold-colored temples complement the volume of the front, creating a perfect contrast that makes the profile look sleek. A subtle CD logo near the hinge adds a discreet touch, supporting the item's sophistication without overbranding. The thin metal parts, the flow toward the tips, and the contrast with the tortoiseshell front all contribute to a design that combines visual impact with delicate side details, elevating the overall craftsmanship of this piece.

The name Christian Dior MONSIEUR itself adds value, embodying the elegance of a couture house while also reflecting a period when the brand adopted a sharper, more urban interpretation for men's fashion. The size is confidently bold, reminiscent of 1980s power dressing, but it retains some curves, preventing it from feeling overly era-specific. Even when incorporated into modern minimalist outfits, the contours and dignity of this eyewear stand out clearly, making it a versatile accessory that bridges fashion and classic style seamlessly.

Styling-wise, pairing these glasses with crisp shirts or jackets will naturally highlight their 80s elegance. When combined with coats or slacks in a more structured look, they emphasize Christian Dior MONSIEUR's sophisticated urban charm. Alternatively, incorporating them into simple T-shirts or knits with trousers creates a balanced, understated look that provides enough presence around the face. This makes the eyewear a versatile piece that can quietly navigate between mode and classic styles, regardless of gender. Don't miss this opportunity.
