Black frames are usually easy to wear… and help you disappear into the background. Orange is where eyewear gets fun!
The key thing to remember is that there isn’t just one orange. And it’s a color that’s far more versatile than it ever gets credit for. You just have to learn how to style it.
I’ve picked five orange frames from five different brands, with shapes ranging from cat-eye to square and round. Here’s how to style each one.
At a Glance

- Soft amber and terracotta behave almost like neutrals, adding instant warmth to your look.
- You can tie orange frames into your look with little details like a leather watch strap, a scarf, or warm gold jewelry. But orange glasses also make great statement pieces on their own.

How To Style Orange Glasses
Orange glasses are easier to wear than you might think. And you don’t have to build your whole outfit around them.
Orange looks great against simple neutrals. Black and white work well, but don’t overlook navy, olive, camel, chocolate brown, and denim. These colors bring out the warmth in orange without competing with the frames.
You can repeat the orange somewhere else in your outfit if you want the look to feel more pulled together. A scarf, bag, or watch strap is enough. You don’t need to match the colors exactly either.
But the shade of orange for the frame has some impact. Translucent amber and peachy frames have a softer look that works with a wider range of your wardrobe. Brighter solid-orange frames make more of a statement, so I’d keep the rest of the outfit simple.
Gold, brass, and bronze jewelry are natural partners for orange frames. Their warm tones pick up the color in the acetate. Silver adds some cooler notes.
Our Top Picks for Orange Frames
1. Emporio Armani EA3238U
The Emporio Armani EA3238U features a subtle cat-eye tint along with a flat top brow and thick burnt-orange rims.
The chunky temples feature the Armani eagle logo and taper off into clear acetate tips that reveal the metal core. It has a graphic, almost ’90s-athletic feel.
The frame gives softer facial features instant definition. Style them with a blazer, a simple white shirt, or dark denim to let the glasses do the talking.
2. Coach HC6257U
This colorway of the Coach HC6257U acts almost like a warm neutral. The color, which Coach has termed “milky amber,” catches the light in a unique way. The 3D gold ‘C’ logo sits proudly at both hinges, adding a little branded flair.
The soft square shape with slightly flared top corners gives the frame a bit of a lift. The wider browline adds balance to rounder face shapes.
Pair them with a camel coat, a cream knit, or dark denim.
3. Ray-Ban Kristin RX7218
The RX7218 is one of Ray-Ban’s newer releases. It’s a transparent, pale orange that gets close to a dusty pink. Whatever color you think it is, it’s a stunning shade.
The silhouette is very angular. The temples start unusually wide at the hinge and form a thick, triangular wedge before tapering down toward the ear. It gives the frame an exaggerated, retro feel.
Try these with an oversized blazer, white tee, and jeans so attention is naturally directed toward the glasses. These frames also look excellent when paired with autumn colors like rust, chocolate brown, and olive.
4. Oakley Draw Up OX8057
The Oakley Draw Up shows you how sport-focused frames can have style. They use a soft round shape made from a clear, peach-tinted resin that keeps the profile light on your face.
The adjustable nose pads also mean you can tweak the fit to your face. The temples are interesting, with a small block-letter Oakley logo that overlays the visible inner hinge mechanism.
The rounded lower rim can help soften more angular jawlines. Pair them with cream knits, navy, or dark denim to let the warm crystal finish stand out.
5. MarchoNYC M-5507
The MarchoNYC M-5507 is a bright honey-orange with an oversized soft square silhouette. They have a retro ’70s feel to them.
This is partly thanks to those twin silver rivets on each corner, which borrow from vintage designs when visible pins were a mechanical necessity. And I feel like this colorway in particular pulls straight from the decade’s palette.
You’ll notice the exterior is completely unbranded. They’re simple frames that let the beautiful coloring take front and center.
The deeper lens shape works great for longer face shapes or anyone wanting an oversized fit that isn’t bulky. Style them against charcoal gray, navy, or plain black tees to let the honey tone really pop.
FAQs About Orange Glasses
What face shape suits orange glasses?
The color doesn’t decide which frame shape will suit you. Start with the frame you like, then think about how the shape will work with your features. Round faces can work well with square or rectangular frames, while square faces can suit rounder styles.
Are orange glasses still in style?
Definitely! Brightly colored glasses and sunglasses continue to pop up across eyewear collections. But if this trend feels a bit much for you, a transparent amber or muted orange is a good substitute.
Can I wear orange glasses every day?
Absolutely. The key is choosing a shade of orange and frame shape that work with your existing wardrobe. Amber, transparent orange, and brick-red frames can work with everyday clothes just as much as black or tortoiseshell glasses.
