Luxury label [Gucci](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/gucci-tiger) continues its pattern of tiger motifs and this time the print finds itself on a pair of Gucci's Aviator Sunglasses. The fierce animal print is a recurring motif for the label this Spring/Summer 2018 season as it adorns its diver watch and Cruise collection. This latest piece sees the feline graphic in a unique print on the lens of the sunglasses. The sunglasses see the tiger illustration in an [iridescent print](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/aura-collection-2) with transforming hues of blue, purple, orange, green, yellow and pink.

The frames itself are constructed in a [black tonal metal material](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/plantaris-ti) and highlight the label's branding details on the temples. The tiger-adorned sunglasses are priced at $320 USD and are now available for purchase at select retailers including LN-CC.
