'aviators perhaps' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this definition defines the answer.

'serenaded young women' is the wordplay.
'serenaded' becomes 'sung' (I've seen this in another clue).
'young women' becomes 'lasses' (I've seen this in another clue).
'sung'+'lasses'='SUNGLASSES'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for sunglasses that I've seen before include "summer wear" , "protection for pupils" , "They relieve effect of glaring" , "viewing aids" , "These offer a sight more protection" .)

I've seen this clue in The Independent.
