How to wear clear glasses
We all want to make a statement with our eyewear. Some people go for darker frames or bold colours, however, a recent alternative to colour altogether is clear glasses. These frames are versatile and go well with lots of looks. You can find out below how to style, accessorise and choose the right style of clear glasses for you.
The right shape
One of the most important things to consider when buying any pair of glasses is the shape of the glasses themselves. Different face shapes tend to suit different shapes of glasses. A good starting point is to have a look at our guide to choosing the right glasses for the shape of your face to see what style would suit you. You can also see our ‘Try on You’ feature, to see if the shape suits your face.
With regards to clear frames, there are a few things you should keep in mind before you buy. Rounder clear glasses tend to work well with more angular faces. On the other hand, those with rounder faces should consider clear frames with more rectangular or square frames. For some examples, you can see these stylish square framed pair of Starck glasses. For a more retro round look, check out these from Paul Smith.
Another thing to consider is the size of the glasses themselves. Since transparent frames don’t distract from the features of the face, there’s an idea that size shouldn’t matter when it comes to clear glasses. However, there is still one piece of key advice when it comes to size of the frames. Try and make they don’t hide your brows, as this can make you look tired or overworked.

Another key consideration with clear frames is what clothes you plan on wearing with them. In this section, we’ll discuss some colours and looks that can work well with clear glasses.
One way to style clear frames is to go with lighter colours. These highlight the frame despite the transparency. Angles become more visible, and the eyes are drawn to the frames. A bold style of glasses like these Prada PR’s work well.
Another way to style clear frames as a linchpin of the outfit is to aim for neutral or lighter colours, like blue. Blue is a great colour to pair with clear frames as it complements their clear appearance.
Finally, if you’re going to pair clear frames with darker colours, there are some factors that you should be aware of. Whenever you wear clear frames with darker shades, the frames tend to blend into the colour of the outfit you’re wearing. This colour integration tends to occur on the sides of the frames themselves, giving off a light accent of colour whilst leaving the front facing part of the frame clear.

Choosing the right accessories with clear glasses can bring your whole outfit together. As mentioned previously, one of the main qualities of clear frames is their versatility. As they are usually subtle, they can be paired with other accessories, like hats.
Clear glasses can help to emphasize hats, and vice-versa. Due to the transparency of clear frames, they can even be worn with staple accessories like a fedora, trilby, or beret. A fantastic pair of glasses that can be styled with any kind of hat are these Fuzion FU’s, a fantastic pair of glasses available today.
