Black Glasses
Black glasses are the most timeless choice. A black frame gives the face clear lines and works just as well at work as in everyday life. Here you find all our black eyeglass frames in Italian acetate, designed in Stockholm, with or without prescription.
Why choose black glasses?
Black glasses are timeless, go with everything and give the face clear contrast. The color suits most skin tones and hair colors and works in both formal and casual settings. We have seven models in black acetate, from 1,299 SEK, that you can order with or without prescription. See all black eyeglass frames

Do black glasses suit everyone?
Black glasses suit most people. The dark color contrasts with the skin and frames the eyes clearly, so the frame stands out without taking over.
If you have fair skin and light hair, the contrast is strong, and a slimmer frame like Selma or Louis can feel softer. If you have darker hair or skin, black often blends in naturally, and bolder frames like Jimi or Romy work well too.
Black, tortoise or transparent glasses?
The color of the frame affects the expression as much as the shape. This is how our most common colors differ.
| Color | Expression | Good if you | Combine with |
|---|---|---|---|
| Black | Clear and timeless | Want a frame that stands out and goes with everything | Everything, especially black, grey and white |
| Tortoise | Warm and soft | Want a softer expression than black | Brown, beige and green tones |
| Transparent | Light and modern | Want the frame to be less visible | Light colors and a minimalist style |
