Oval glasses

Oval glasses are back for real
It is hard to miss that oval glasses have become one of the hottest shapes in eyewear fashion. The small, narrow frames many associate with the 90s have made a comeback and can be seen everywhere today, from catwalks and street style to social media. And we like it!

Oval glasses are a fun alternative to the large square frames that have dominated for many years. They are often a little more delicate, a little more playful, and can give an outfit exactly that final detail that makes a difference.

Fashion houses such as Celine, Dior and Saint Laurent have really embraced the trend and are good at creating oval glasses with the right feel. Here we find everything from narrow, minimalist metal frames to bolder acetate models. Swedish Metro also has several really good-looking oval models if you want a trendy frame without spending your whole shopping budget on glasses.

At Hultins Optik you will find oval glasses in different price ranges and materials. We hand-pick our range ourselves and like to mix big international fashion houses with smaller brands that have a style of their own.
Narrow oval glasses with a 90s feel
The small oval glasses are perhaps the clearest example of how 90s fashion has found its way back. Narrow metal frames, discreet details and shapes that feel almost a little too small at first glance are exactly what makes them so interesting.

But not all oval glasses need to be minimalist. A slightly heavier acetate frame can give a bolder expression while keeping that soft, elongated shape that makes oval glasses so special.

The nice thing is that you can choose how bold you want to be. A thin metal frame can be a discreet detail to an otherwise fairly simple outfit, while a heavier acetate model can take the leading role.

Tinted lenses make all the difference
Would you like a little more attitude in your oval glasses and avoid being associated with grandma’s old glasses? Then we definitely think you should consider tinted lenses.

A light brown, grey or green tint can work wonders for an oval frame. Suddenly those small, slightly old-fashioned glasses take on a completely different expression. It does not have to be dark sunglasses either. A light tint can go a long way towards giving the glasses a cooler and more personal style.

We like experimenting with tinted lenses ourselves and think it is one of the easiest ways to make a pair of glasses a little more interesting.
