If you wear glasses, getting the right frames is one of the most important sartorial choices you’re likely to face. Get it wrong and the most visible thing you’re wearing won’t suit your style. Do no homework at all, and they won’t work for your face shape, either, bringing all those quirks you don’t like into much sharper focus. To make sure that no aspect of your style is left unattended, eyewear brand Arnette has devised a range of frames that bestow some laid-back cool, no matter your personal style or face shape.

With 25 years of easygoing style behind them, Arnette frames riff gently on their pre-millennium heritage, combining time-tested styles with modern street-influenced design. The result is highly wearable eyewear – functional frames that feel modern and fashion-forward. Most styles are matte and unshowy in simple blacks and timeless tortoiseshells but there are also colourful options and different frame styles to suit every bone structure. They’re all available at Glasses.com at prices you’ll squint at before you believe. Plus, the site is having a promotion with 10 per cent off all Arnette optical glasses and sunglasses with free shipping. Just use the code Arnette, which is valid from 18 December 2018 to 29 January 2019. There are 25 styles available and we’ve picked our favourites below.

The FashionBeans Edit

The Bottom Turn

With their rounded tortoiseshell frames the Bottom Turn glasses subtly reference the old-school styling of Gregory Peck but keep things feeling suitably up-to-date with their black contrast arms which add unexpected design flair. These circular frames will work best on oval and square faces. Buy Now: $124.00

The Synth AN7106

Heavy rimmed square glasses are the ideal optical option for those looking to add a bold edge to their look and can be used as a signature style. The Synth AN7106 frames capitalise on a thick, black statement-making rim but use contrast tortoiseshell arms and a rectangular shape to soften the effect: think the sixties by way of the nineties, but very much at home in the 21st century. They’re the ideal companion for those who spend much of their working week in a sharp suit and will work best on rectangular faces. Buy Now: $125.00
