If you have been following my fashion journey for a while, you already know that I love timeless accessories that elevate even the simplest outfit. Recently, I added the Khaite x Oliver Peoples 1978RX to my black sunglasses collection, and I can honestly say they have quickly become one of my favorite designer purchases of the year. I was undecided between the Dark Mahogany and the Black ones. In the end, I knew I would reach the black ones more frequently, so I made the decision based on that.
I am also eyeing the Khaite x Oliver Peoples 1969C in a tortoise frame. I think these will be a great addition to my wardrobe, as cat-eye sunglasses never go out of style.
In this post, I am sharing my thoughts on these sunglasses, how they fit, how I style them, and why I think they are worth considering if you are looking for luxury sunglasses that feel modern yet timeless.
What Are Khaite Oliver Peoples Sunglasses?
The collaboration between Khaite and Oliver Peoples debuted in February 2023 during New York Fashion Week, featuring the Khaite Fall/Winter runway show. This partnership blends Khaite’s minimalist New York aesthetic with Oliver Peoples’ expertise in premium eyewear. The result is a collection of sunglasses that embody minimal style, understated elegance, and incredible chicness.
Unlike trendy sunglasses that come and go, these frames have a refined look that can easily stay relevant for years.
My First Impressions
The Khaite x Oliver Peoples 1978RX sunglasses come in a red lipstick-colored plastic case lined with what appears to be suede. The red lipstick sunglasses case is made in China. The sunglasses case is chic and will definitely help me find my sunglasses in my bag. The sunglasses come with an additional clear lens in case you will use them as prescription glasses.
In addition, the sunglasses come with a drawstring pouch that doubles as a lens cloth.
The first thing I noticed about the sunglasses is definitely the quality. The frames feel substantial without being heavy, and the craftsmanship is exactly what you would expect from two luxury brands.
I was immediately drawn to the clean lines and elegant silhouette. They make a statement without feeling flashy, which is exactly my style.
As someone who tends to wear neutral outfits—think black, ivory, beige, denim, and chocolate brown—I found that these sunglasses work with almost everything already in my wardrobe.
How They Fit
Fit is always important when it comes to sunglasses, and I was pleasantly surprised by how comfortable these are.
They sit securely on my face without pinching, and I can wear them for extended periods without discomfort. The frames feel balanced and lightweight enough for everyday wear. I can’t stand heavy sunglasses, and these ones are just very light very comfortable.
Honestly, these sunglasses have become my go-to pair for running errands and heading to brunch.
