As a little girl, did you dream of looking like Audrey Hepburn in Breakfast at Tiffany’s? I know I certainly did. The chic dresses, bold jewelry, and oversized sunglasses. It was that old Hollywood glamor that just doesn’t seem to be around anymore.
But enough of the nostalgia. Tiffany & Co. is still around today, and they’re still as popular as ever. And for good reason!
They create high-quality, stunning accessories that stand the test of time, including a range of classy eyeglasses. Eyewear is a great way to enter the Tiffany universe without spending millions of dollars on diamonds!
Why Tiffany Is a Name Worth Knowing
If you’re new to the world of Tiffany, you might be wondering why the name is so popular. Is it just hype, or is this company the real deal?
Tiffany is an American heritage brand with a long and impressive legacy. Over 200 years ago, Charles Lewis Tiffany and his partner J.B. Young started a “fancy goods” store in New York. It was known as Tiffany & Young until Charles bought out his partner.
Renamed Tiffany & Co., the brand became world-famous for creating innovative, classic, and mind-blowing jewelry. I’m talking diamonds that were fit for queens! Tiffany became the brand for elites.
Then came the movie Breakfast at Tiffany’s, which is one of those once-in-a-lifetime films that live on in pop culture today. The main character, Holly Golightly (played by Audrey Hepburn), was chic, sassy, and fun. Women aspired to be like her, and she helped make the brand a household name.
Over time, Tiffany started to cater to the masses. How? By creating more accessible items, including cute silver heart pendants, earrings, and, of course, its eyewear collection.
Tiffany eyeglasses are an affordable entry point into the world of luxury without breaking the bank. The best part is that there are some beautiful styles to choose from.
What Style Are Tiffany Glasses?
Tifanny’s eyeglasses are as timeless as their jewelry. They offer a range of styles that are classic enough to wear for years to come.
Tiffany glasses often feature subtle brand touches. For instance, many incorporate the iconic Tiffany blue color. Some also have silver or gold embellishments that call back to Tiffany’s jewelry collection. Many also feature the brand’s memorable logo.
Love understated elegance? Crave high-quality design? Tiffany could be the brand for you.
How to Select the Right Tiffany Eyeglasses For Your Face
When choosing glasses, look for a pair that works well with your face shape and features. Choose glasses that complement your facial features and (most of the time) contrast your face shape.
Opposites really work. For example, if you have a round face, rectangular and square glasses add some edges and contrast to your face’s curves.
If your face is square or rectangular (usually featuring a strong jawline and a similar-width forehead), opt for round or oval glasses, which add subtle curves.
For oval and heart-shaped faces, almost everything suits you! So have fun and play around with proportions and details.
Size (and Style) Matters
Most Tiffany glasses are not super oversized or really out there, nor do they feature avant-garde frames. Rather, they make a range of easy-to-pull-on classic specs that will flatter most women.
Make sure the frames reach the edge of your face (and are not too tight or too wide) and finish about two-thirds down your nose. The right proportions will ensure your Tiffany glasses fit well and flatter you.
If you’re ready to try Tiffany glasses, here are my top picks!
Classic Tiffany Blue Tortoiseshell Eyeglasses
Branding is a big part of marketing. Brand colors and logos are all a part of the package. Well, guess what! Tiffany’s signature color was one of the decisions that made branding what it is today!
That iconic greenish-blue hue has become almost as famous as the company itself. It’s classic and subtle, yet still super cool. I mean, there’s nothing like opening one of those little blue boxes to see the treasure inside. There’s a reason they say diamonds are a girl’s best friend!
Anyway, back to eyewear. These timeless tortoiseshell glasses feature the subtle cat-eye shape that movie stars love. But the really fun part is the touch of Tiffany blue around the frames!
EZContacts customer Kim. F loves her Tiffany eyeglasses:
“I get so many compliments on these frames. They are gorgeous and comfortable!”
Pro Tip:
- Pair these glasses with minimal jewelry so they can stand out as the centerpiece.
- The tortoiseshell is perfect for all hair and skin colors, making them versatile (especially if you like changing up your hair color).
- These glasses are a good choice if you wear a lot of muted and classic colors like gray, brown, beige, and black. The Tiffany blue doesn’t clash with these shades and will provide a beautiful pop of color.
Tiffany Glasses That Will Get You Noticed
Numerous celebrities need vision correction. In the industry, many opt for contact lenses or LASIK eye surgery. However, there are a few who proudly rock their glasses in style.
Gigi Hadid is the queen of wearing glasses, in my opinion. She has been spotted out and about in several stylish frames, opting for various colors and shapes.
This pair of gray Tiffany eyeglasses reminds me of a pair of frames I saw Gigi in. They give off that fashionista energy without being too loud, perfect for giving your workwear a bit of an edge.
Pro Tip:
- This gray color looks especially flattering on blonde or black hair. Why? Those colors will make the gray pop!
- The gold touches and warm gray tone pair best with gold (or rose gold) jewelry rather than silver.
- The subtle cat-eye shape is perfect for most face shapes, including heart, round, and square.
Rimless Tiffany Glasses For a Contemporary Take
Rimless glasses have been revived. They are no longer a blast from the past or a nerdy accessory for stereotypical scientist movie characters. Today, men and women are turning to the trend for a new look.
Rimless glasses are barely-there, so they let your eyes do all the talking. If you want to show off your best feature, then this could be the style for you.
These Tiffany rimless glasses feature gold detailing and black arms, giving them a striking appearance. The extra touches take them from simple to luxurious, making them a great option for wearing to work. You’ll look like you mean business!
Pro Tip:
- Rimless glasses are known to draw attention to fine lines and dark circles because, well, they’re rimless. But this shouldn’t bother you!
- Most rimless glasses are rectangular, so they suit many face shapes, including round, heart, and oval.
Tiffany Frames for Fashionistas
Oversized frames ooze movie star glam. After all, major celebrities, including Miley Cyrus and Beyoncé, are always seen in oversized styles.
This shape extends to Tiffany eyeglasses. The oversized frames are modern and an excellent choice if you want to make a statement.
These oversized Tiffany glasses feature thick frames, likely drawing inspiration from the beautiful Oliver Goldsmith shades Audrey Hepburn famously wore in Breakfast at Tiffany’s. The Havana frames and gold logo amp up the stylishness while giving off a vintage vibe.
EZContacts customer Barbara F. looks stunning in her “very stylish frames.”
Pro Tip:
- Even though these glasses are intentionally oversized, try to keep the frame from reaching the bottom of your nose. That’s just too big!
- Although the frame isn’t heavy, they shouldn’t slide down your nose; have them tightened if they do.
- If you have a smaller face, these Tiffany eyeglasses might be a bit too overpowering. Instead, opt for a medium-sized frame.
Tiffany Eyeglasses for Minimalists
Minimalism doesn’t have to be boring. When it comes to eyeglasses, it can also mean subtle shapes and casual colors.
You can still have a little fun! Pick a pair with a dainty logo or glasses featuring mixed materials to add visual interest.
Tiffany eyeglasses are generally more understated. Why, I hear you ask? Because the brand is all about elegance and sophistication. Although they’ve made some efforts to modernize and appeal to a younger crowd by hiring it-girl actresses like Anya Taylor-Joy and Zoe Kravitz, Tiffany is still a classic brand.
Compared to other designer eyewear brands, such as Gucci and Prada, Tiffany eyeglasses are generally more understated. It’s the perfect collection if you want luxurious glasses without the bling and logos.
These two-toned, gradient Tiffany glasses are my minimalist pick. They blend colors and materials, as I mentioned earlier, while still looking chic.
The shape is perfect for a range of faces, and the green colors look striking against the gold arms. You can rock these glasses with everything from workwear to weekend casual looks!
Pro Tip:
- The neutral, transparent gray tone makes these glasses perfect for wearing with gold or silver jewelry.
- If you want compliments but don’t want glasses that are too funky, this style offers a good balance.
Havana Glasses, But Make it Tiffany
Tiffany is one of the few brands that is synonymous with a specific color (even Prada, Chanel, and others don’t have such a recognizable color). They do a great job of mixing blue touches into the glasses.
If you love Havana glasses but are bored with the brown-on-brown standard print, then switch it up. These printed glasses feature a mix of blue and brown for a magical effect.
They are perfect for those who already own a range of tortoiseshell and black glasses and want to experiment.
Pro Tip:
- This is a great pair if you’re not a fan of obvious logos on your glasses.
- Thanks to the mix of colors, these glasses suit both blonde and dark-haired wearers. This makes them a great gift for Tiffany lovers.
Pretty in Tiffany Pink
Baby pink is also a popular color of the Tiffany brand. It’s elegant and easy to coordinate with other colors. It’s also perfect for different skin tones and eye colors. It brings out the best of your features.
And no, pink doesn’t have to be super ’girly.’ It’s been widely embraced by celebrities from Cate Blanchett to Jennifer Aniston. If pink is good enough for America’s sweetheart, maybe it’s worth trying!
These delicately pretty Tiffany eyeglasses pair perfectly with both silver and gold jewelry. Plus, you can wear them with everything from jeans to an evening dress for that Tiffany allure.
Pro Tip:
- These glasses work for those with an eccentric or minimalist taste, making them adaptable.
- If you already have a broad collection of glasses, this rose gold Tiffany pair will be a fun addition, perfect for evening wear.
Chunky Aviators for a ‘70s Revival
If you love the high-quality feel of Tiffany but want a pair of glasses that are a little bolder, select a retro-inspired pair.
Thick frames are making a comeback, as part of a ’70s revival in the eyeglasses scene. It’s about wearing your specs loudly and proudly.
These Tiffany aviator glasses feature sleek black frames and metal arms, with one version including a touch of Tiffany blue. They are perfect for vintage lovers.
Pro Tip:
- The jet-black frames might risk looking a bit ‘intense’, which is why they pair well with darker hair.
- Aviator glasses generally suit oval, square, and heart-shaped faces. The teardrop shape will bring out your cheekbones.
- If you have a rounded face, a more rectangular pair of Tiffany eyeglasses will do you justice.
