Tom Ford — Sunglass Style NZ
MADE TO BE SEEN
Tom Ford
The frame that doesn't ask for attention — it commands it.
SHOP TOM FORDThe House of Tom Ford
Tom Ford launched his eponymous eyewear line in 2005 from Milan, bringing the same unapologetic sensibility that had already redefined Gucci and YSL to his own house. Every frame is produced in Italy from thick-cut Italian acetate with the signature T-bar temple hardware — a detail so recognisable it has become shorthand for a certain kind of dressed-up confidence. If your wardrobe already speaks in full sentences, Tom Ford sunglasses are the full stop.

THE CAMERA FINDS YOU
The Tom Ford customer doesn't dress for the occasion — they are the occasion. These are frames for the back of a car, the front row, the dinner table where everyone is pretending not to look.

WHY WE LOVE IT
01
THE T-BAR
The signature rose gold T-bar temple hardware is stamped directly into the acetate — not applied as an afterthought, but engineered as the visual anchor of every frame in the collection.
02
MADE IN ITALY
Every Tom Ford frame is produced in Italy under strict quality controls, using premium thick-cut acetate that holds its shape, its gloss, and its geometry across years of wear.
03
LENS INTELLIGENCE
Tom Ford's lens colour choices — warm amber, glacial blue, pale champagne — are calibrated to complement skin tone as much as light conditions, which is why the frames photograph so distinctively well.

Tom Ford sunglasses at Sunglass Style NZ are generally priced from $649 to $799, reflecting their Italian manufacture, premium acetate construction, and the signature hardware detailing that defines the collection. The range covers everything from classic square frames through to oversized aviators, with price variation based on frame complexity and lens specification. All prices are in New Zealand dollars and include GST.
-
Yes. All sunglasses sold at Sunglass Style provide full UV400 protection — meaning they block 100% of UVA and UVB rays up to 400 nanometres. That's the highest level of UV protection available, and it applies across the entire range regardless of lens type. New Zealand has some of the highest UV radiation levels in the world, so this matters more here than in many other countries. Whether you're choosing a light gradient tint or a dark polarised lens, the UV protection is always the same: full UV400.

Square and rectangular frames suit oval, heart, and diamond face shapes well, as the defined corners add structure where the face naturally tapers. If you have a stronger jaw or square face, consider rounder or oval silhouettes that soften strong jaw lines — an oversized aviator silhouette will complement proportions without losing presence. Of course, face shape is a starting point, not a rule — the best frame is the one that feels like you. Colour, personal style, and confidence all matter as much as geometry. The luxury eyewear range at Sunglass Style is wide enough to suit everything from understated elegance to full glamour. If you're shopping in store, our team can help you work through the options. If you're buying online at sunglassstyle.co.nz, we offer refunds on purchases that don't work for you — so you can try with confidence.

When you buy from Sunglass Style, authenticity is guaranteed. We purchase exclusively from brand manufacturers and authorised distributors — so every frame in our stores and on our website is 100% genuine. All sunglasses come in original branded packaging and with relevant documentation. If you ever have any concerns, our team is happy to help. Buying from an unauthorised third-party seller or marketplace carries real risk — grey market and counterfeit eyewear is common, and often undetectable without expertise.
