At Christmas, light changes everything. Low lamps, reflections across the table, an open fire: even a simple outfit takes on a different presence. Glasses belong in that scene without dressing up as a festive novelty. They stay close to your eyes, in photographs and in conversations that continue after dinner. That is where a well-chosen detail makes its mark.
Prada’s Holiday 2026 campaign offers a specific starting point: optical frames worn in an intimate setting beside a fireplace. Not a rule to copy, but an invitation to think about festive dressing through texture and proportion. Good knitwear, a clean shirt, the cut of a jacket: often less is needed than we imagine.
For her: a distinctive frame, with room around it
A black dress, an ivory shirt or a simple top under a jacket leaves space for the face. Prada PR D15VU 29O1O1, worn in the opening image, can become the graphic signature of that look. There is no need to reproduce the entire campaign styling: the interesting part is bringing a recognisable shape into your own wardrobe.
With velvet, try reducing other points of sparkle; with soft knitwear, let the contrast between fabric and frame provide character. Earrings can echo the glasses without competing for the whole scene. This is not a ban on boldness: the aim is an outfit that feels chosen rather than piled on.

For him: dark knitwear, a jacket and relaxed elegance
Christmas does not demand a formal suit. A roll-neck beneath a jacket, or a shirt without a tie, can feel more personal. In the second Prada image, PR D13V 20P1O1 accompanies an intimate mood and a dark scarf, coat and striped top: a useful reference for looking considered without feeling dressed as someone else.
It is about the relationship between volumes. A substantial collar and a strong frame can coexist as long as the face remains clear. If lunch turns into a long evening, favour a fit you know: constantly pushing glasses back into place is not the finishing touch we had in mind.
From family lunch to dinner: change a detail, not your identity
A shirt and cardigan may be enough by day. In the evening, the same glasses take on a different tone with a jacket, swept-up hair or a cleaner neckline. There is no need for a frame for every invitation: noticing how it works with what you already own is often the most interesting step.
Try the complete outfit, not just the new piece, in the light you will be spending time in. Even the most beautiful frame needs to suit your measurements, fit and visual requirements. Check prescription-lens options on the product page and with a professional.
Moscot: warm cognac, from knitwear to cocktails
Not every celebration calls for a tie. The translucent cognac Lemtosh works with an ecru roll-neck, a soft navy jacket or a camel coat. Rounded lines and a keyhole bridge bring character to a simple wardrobe. An option for women and men at a family lunch or informal cocktail, rather than an accessory dictated by a dress code.
Carolina Herrera: burgundy brings the festive colour
If black does not feel like you, bring colour closer to the face. This Carolina Herrera combines a burgundy front, translucent pink temples and a gold-tone side detail. It warms ivory knitwear and creates a rich contrast against a blue blouse. One accent is enough: glasses, lipstick and bag need not match.
CHANEL: a cat-eye for velvet and the little black dress
The CH3514 offers an alternative to an oversized front: dark tortoiseshell and lifted corners give the gaze a sharper outline. Picture it with a black dress, an ivory blouse or a velvet jacket, keeping the neckline simple. Textured temples provide the finishing touch; a statement necklace is not essential.
David Beckham: a lighter line for an evening suit
With a white shirt and dark suit, this rimless David Beckham frame leaves the eyes in view. Its slender gold-tone bridge and temples add warmth without a conspicuous jewellery effect. It is a restrained option beside tuxedo lapels too: light proportions, the face in focus and no need for glasses to dominate the evening.
