Orange Glasses for Men & Women

Definitely, although the shade you choose makes a difference.

A translucent amber or muted burnt orange frame can be surprisingly understated. A solid, vivid orange frame is naturally going to attract more attention.

If you're buying your first pair of colourful glasses, you might find the softer end of the spectrum easier to begin with. If you're already comfortable wearing colour, there's no reason not to go brighter.

Orange eyewear covers much more ground than its name suggests.

Look out for burnt orange, rust, amber, peach, coral, tangerine and brighter orange frames, along with transparent materials where the colour becomes softer as light passes through it.

Colour names aren't completely standard between frame manufacturers, so we'd always recommend looking at the individual product photography rather than choosing solely by the name of the shade.

Burnt orange is a deeper, more muted version of orange, usually with brown or earthy undertones.

On a frame, it tends to feel richer and less vivid than a true bright orange. It's a good middle ground if you want noticeable colour without choosing something particularly bold.

Amber sits somewhere between yellow, orange and brown, so you'll find some amber coloured frames included within orange collections.

Transparent amber glasses can have an almost honey like appearance, while deeper amber frames may look much closer to burnt orange or light brown.

No. In fact, trying to perfectly match colourful glasses to your clothes can make getting dressed considerably more complicated than it needs to be.

Treat them like any other accessory. Orange can add colour to an otherwise neutral outfit, sit alongside other warm tones or deliberately contrast with what you're wearing.

Yes. Colour doesn't need a gender attached to it.

Our orange collection can include everything from slim and understated frames to larger, brighter statement styles. Concentrate on finding the shape, measurements and shade you like rather than whether a frame has traditionally been marketed towards men or women.

We aim to represent frame colours as accurately as possible, but screens and lighting can affect how a colour appears.

This is particularly noticeable with amber and translucent orange frames, which naturally react to the light around them. A frame may appear richer indoors and brighter or more transparent in daylight.

Don't let the colour distract you from getting the basics right.

Start with the frame measurements and compare them with a pair you already wear comfortably. Then look at the shape, thickness and material before deciding which shade of orange you prefer.

The best orange glasses are still the ones that fit properly.
