Here’s your statement frame this fall
Gucci is putting its signature codes behind some seriously good frames for Fall/Winter 2026. The new eyewear collection moves between black acetate, metal, and familiar House hardware, with silhouettes designed to make an impact without getting complicated.


Photographed by Mark Seliger and art directed by Riccardo Zanola, the campaign keeps things stripped back. The protagonists are caught between moments, looking distracted or simply somewhere else entirely. Gucci calls it “a story without a plot,” giving the frames plenty of room to take the lead.
Black is back
For men, the season’s strongest move is a pair of black rectangular sunglasses. Clean and structured, they bring an easy sharpness to the face, while square acetate styles feature the Gucci logo engraved into embedded metal plaques.
The optical selection follows suit. Black acetate frames deliver a more substantial look, while round metal glasses offer something lighter, finished with interwoven Horsebit details across the temples.
The Horsebit gets a new job
Gucci’s Horsebit is doing more than making a cameo. The signature hardware is worked directly into the temples of rounded sunglasses and optical frames, giving otherwise streamlined designs a jewelry-like detail.
Elsewhere, the Double G appears on sculptural frames, while the green-red-green Web stripe makes subtle appearances across the collection. Warm Havana tortoiseshell and gold metal also bring a little autumn color to the otherwise black-heavy lineup.
Pick your details
The collection also plays with customization. Selected square frames feature braided gold metal temples and removable interchangeable charms, allowing the wearer to switch up the finish.
For women, the range moves between narrow rectangular frames, oversized black opticals, and lighter metal silhouettes. Thick acetate styles bring a stronger presence, while delicate frames keep things more minimal.
The appeal of Gucci’s Fall/Winter 2026 eyewear is ultimately pretty simple. The shapes are familiar, the House codes are unmistakable, and the details are designed to be noticed up close. No complicated plot required.
