The Jimmy Choo 3017U Eyeglasses bring red-carpet glamour to your everyday prescription eyewear. These women's cat-eye frames feature a bold, oversized silhouette with a distinctive upswept outer corner that creates a lifted, confident look. Made in Italy from premium acetate, the 3017U showcases the luxury quality Jimmy Choo is known for—from the smooth, glossy finish to the signature metal logo hardware that adorns each temple.
Bold Cat-Eye Design That Flatters
The 3017U's angular cat-eye shape is designed to add definition and visual lift to your features. The pronounced corners and full-rim construction create a statement-making profile, with upswept corners that counterbalance round faces. The thick acetate construction provides durability while allowing for rich, saturated colors—from classic black and deep blue to warm tortoise patterns in yellow havana, traditional havana, and pink havana.
Prescription-Ready Italian Craftsmanship
These frames are fully prescription-ready and compatible with single-vision, progressive, and bifocal lenses. The full-rim acetate construction securely holds lenses of varying thicknesses, making the 3017U suitable for a wide range of prescriptions. The single-bridge design ensures stable positioning for optimal optical performance, while the quality spring hinges provide smooth, reliable operation. Each pair ships with authentic Jimmy Choo packaging and is manufactured by Luxottica in Italy, guaranteeing the materials and build quality meet luxury eyewear standards.
The 3017U works as both a daily driver and a statement piece—bold enough to anchor your look, refined enough for professional settings. The cat-eye silhouette pairs naturally with everything from tailored workwear to casual weekend outfits, and the variety of colors means you can choose a frame that complements your personal style and skin tone.

Frequently Asked Questions
Are the Jimmy Choo 3017U eyeglasses prescription-ready?
Yes, the Jimmy Choo 3017U frames are fully prescription-ready and compatible with single-vision, progressive, and bifocal lenses. The full-rim acetate construction securely holds prescription lenses of varying thicknesses, and the frames can accommodate most prescription strengths. You can add your prescription during checkout and choose from various lens options including anti-reflective coating, blue light filtering, and high-index lenses for stronger prescriptions.
What face shapes look best with the Jimmy Choo 3017U cat-eye frames?
The 3017U's angular cat-eye design works particularly well for round, oval, and diamond face shapes. The upswept corners and bold silhouette add definition and visual lift, creating a more structured appearance on round faces. Oval faces can wear most cat-eye styles comfortably, while diamond-shaped faces benefit from the way these frames emphasize cheekbones and balance the forehead and chin.
What size are the Jimmy Choo 3017U eyeglasses?
The Jimmy Choo 3017U is available in two sizes: 52mm and 54mm lens width, both with a 17mm bridge and 140mm temple length. The 54mm option provides a medium-to-large fit suitable for most face widths, while the 52mm offers a slightly smaller profile. These are considered medium-to-oversized cat-eye frames that make a statement without overwhelming your features.
What material are the Jimmy Choo 3017U frames made from?
The 3017U frames are constructed from premium cellulose acetate, a high-quality plastic material known for its durability, rich color depth, and comfortable feel. Acetate allows for deep, saturated colors and smooth finishes, and it's hypoallergenic for sensitive skin. The frames are manufactured in Italy by Luxottica, ensuring luxury-grade materials and craftsmanship.
Can I get progressive lenses in the Jimmy Choo 3017U frames?
Yes, the Jimmy Choo 3017U cat-eye frames are suitable for progressive lenses. The frame has sufficient lens height to accommodate the progressive corridor, and the stable single-bridge design helps keep the optics properly centered for optimal vision at all distances. The full-rim construction provides secure lens retention, which is important for progressive prescriptions.
What colors are available for the Jimmy Choo 3017U?
The Jimmy Choo 3017U is available in multiple sophisticated colorways: solid black (5000), blue (5016), yellow havana tortoise (5004), classic havana tortoise (5002), black with accents (5053), and pink havana tortoise (5070). Each color features the signature Jimmy Choo metal logo hardware on the temples. The variety allows you to choose a frame that complements your skin tone and personal style.

Jimmy Choo 3017U vs. Similar Styles
If you're drawn to the Jimmy Choo 3017U's bold cat-eye design, you might also be considering other frames from the brand's collection. Here's how the 3017U compares to two popular alternatives in our catalog.
3017U vs. Jimmy Choo 3019B
Both the 3017U and 3019B are from Jimmy Choo's latest collection and share the same price range ($140-$184.65) and Italian manufacturing quality. The key difference lies in the frame shape: the 3017U features a pronounced cat-eye silhouette with upswept corners that create visual lift and definition, making it particularly flattering for round and oval faces. The 3019B offers a different aesthetic that may appeal if you prefer an alternative to the vintage-inspired cat-eye look. Both frames feature premium acetate construction, signature Jimmy Choo hardware, and are fully prescription-ready with full-rim designs that accommodate various lens types.
Choose the 3017U if: You want the classic cat-eye shape with its flattering upswept corners, prefer a vintage-glamour aesthetic, or have a round face that benefits from angular definition.
3017U vs. Jimmy Choo JC226
The JC226 represents a more budget-friendly entry point into Jimmy Choo eyewear at $106.07-$125, compared to the 3017U's $140-$415 range. Both frames maintain the brand's Italian craftsmanship and quality standards, but the 3017U offers a bolder, more statement-making cat-eye design with prominent hardware details. The JC226 may appeal to shoppers seeking Jimmy Choo's prestige and quality at a lower price point, though it likely features a different frame shape that won't provide the same dramatic cat-eye effect. If budget is your primary concern and you're flexible on the specific silhouette, the JC226 delivers authentic Jimmy Choo quality for less. However, if the cat-eye shape is what drew you to the 3017U in the first place, the unique silhouette and bold presence justify the higher investment.
Choose the 3017U if: The cat-eye shape is non-negotiable, you want maximum style impact, or you're specifically looking for frames that add definition and lift to your features.
