Product Insights
The Parker Aviator by Tom Ford is an experimental aviator with elongated wraparound temples, a suspended bridge, and twin individually framed lenses, built from a lightweight metal-acetate hybrid for a glossy two-tone aesthetic. Its Lilacs colorway and bluish-purple tint reject classic aviator styling for a futuristic look but distort color perception, making it unsuitable for driving and best for overcast days, with Level 2 UV protection. The frame fits oval, square, and heart faces, with adjustable nose pads and elongated temples for a secure fit, available in 40mm and 64mm widths with variants Parker-02 and Parker Wire. Priced at 785 CAD in the middle tier of Tom Ford's aviator range, these sunglasses prioritize fashion-forward style over practical color accuracy.
Verified claims
- Silhouette
- Elongated wraparound temples with a suspended bridge and twin individually framed lenses.
- Design
- The Parker silhouette has spawned Parker-02 and Parker Wire variants.
- Lens tint
- Bluish-purple tint gives a futuristic look but distorts color perception.
- Material
- Metal-acetate hybrid frame provides lightweight support, durable temples, and a glossy two-tone aesthetic.
- Colorway
- Lilacs colorway deliberately rejects classic aviator tints to amplify the Parker's futuristic identity.
- Tint practicality
- Bluish-purple tint can affect color perception and may alter how traffic lights and road signs appear, so the lenses are not optimized for driving.
- Face shape compatibility
- Suits oval, square, and heart faces; the 64mm lens gives medium-to-large coverage and is less ideal for very small faces, while a 40mm version offers a lighter everyday presence.
- Fit adjustability
- Adjustable nose pads and elongated temples for a secure, customizable fit.
- UV protection
- Lenses provide Level 2 UV protection and are non-polarized; the bluish-purple tint is not suited to driving.
- Driving safety
- Caution is advised for driving: the bluish-purple tint can alter how traffic lights and road signs appear, and the lenses are non-polarized.
- Impact resistance
- Lenses are impact-resistant polycarbonate.
- Price position
- Priced at 785 CAD ($620 USD), middle tier of Tom Ford's aviator range.
- Color option
- Lilacs colorway is a fashion-forward purple tint for style buyers.
- Variants
- Parker-02 and Parker Wire offshoots; 40mm and 64mm lens widths.
- Positioning
- Tom Ford's experimental aviator line, distinct from the classic Icon teardrop.
- Frame measurements
- The Parker has a 64mm eye width, 16mm bridge, and 130mm temple length, making it a medium-to-large fit.

Product comparison
Compared within this brand.
| Parker Aviator Sunglasses: Choose this if you want a statement aviator with a futuristic, avant-garde look — thin metal profiles, an extended brow bar, a suspended bridge, and bluish-purple tinted single-piece lenses in a light, comfortable metal-and-plastic frame. The Level 2 UV protection rating is characterized as perfect for cloudy or partly sunny days, so it suits milder sun conditions rather than full sun. Fit details help decide: 64-16-130 sizing (eye width 64 mm, 16 mm bridge, 130 mm temples) in one size, with clear adjustable silicone nose pads, a signature metallic tab and gold-tone temple inlay, made in Italy and including a rigid velvet designer case with cleaning cloths.[1,2,3] | Jeffrey Aviator Sunglasses: Choose this if you want a bold, timeless aviator look in a glossy black acetate frame with gradient grey lenses, gold temple trim, and the signature 'T' logo detailing. It suits sunny days with its level 3 UV protection, and the light acetate frame plus 59-millimetre eye width and 14-millimetre bridge fit those who like a larger pilot silhouette—retailers recommend drop-shaped frames like this for oval, triangular, and heart-shaped faces. Note it comes in one size only, and comfort is a retailer characterization rather than a reported wearer experience.[4,5,6,7,8] | Xl Rhonda Aviator Sunglasses: Choose this if you want an oversized aviator look in a brown acetate frame with a turtleshell finish and gradient brown tinted lenses offering 100% UV protection. It suits shoppers who appreciate Tom Ford's signature T-logo temple detailing, a saddle nose bridge, and Italian-made craftsmanship in a light, comfortable acetate frame sized 56-14-140 (one size). The rigid velvet designer case and small cleaning cloths included make it practical for everyday wear.[9,10,11,12] |
