Finding the right pair of glasses can be a transformative experience, bringing out the best of your facial features and personal style. Black Eyewear’s founder, Robert Roope, has spent over five decades designing eyewear that merges classic jazz-inspired styles with modern craftsmanship.
Now, with the help of Robert Recommends, a new AI-powered frame finder trained by Robert himself, choosing the perfect frames has never been easier. This tool makes personalized eyewear recomandations accessible to anyone, allowing you to scan your face or upload a picture and receive tailored suggestions based on Robert’s expert guidance.
Let’s walk through how Robert Recommends can help you find the perfect frame and a few tips for an ideal pairing that balances comfort, style, and personality.
1. Experience Robert Recommends: AI-Powered Recommendations
With the Robert Recommends tool, Black Eyewear offers a seamless, AI-driven experience to help you find frames that has the best fit for you. After scanning your face or uploading a photo, this tool—trained by Robert himself—analyzes your features to provide a selection that complements your look.
Pro-tip: If you’re shopping for someone else, simply upload a photo, and Robert Recommends will suggest frames for them as well. It’s a modern approach that brings Robert's personal touch to an online experience, making frame selection effortless and uniquely tailored.
2. Personality and Practicality: Formal vs. Informal Styles
Robert Recommends doesn't just stop at face-matching; it also suggests frames based on two distinct style preferences: Formal and Informal. This lets you select eyewear that fits both your aesthetic and your lifestyle.
-
Formal styles are ideal for occasions where sophistication and timelessness are key. These frames embody elegance and structure, making them perfect for professional or upscale environments.
- Informal styles, on the other hand, bring a relaxed, expressive edge, blending style with comfort for more casual, everyday wear. Whether it’s a weekend brunch or an evening out, the Informal collection offers choices that highlight your unique flair without compromising comfort.
3. Finding the Right Size
With eyewear, sizing is essential, especially for those with more generous facial features. Black Eyewear’s Large Glasses Collection caters specifically to clients with larger faces, offering a range of glasses and sunglasses that capture the timeless 1950s aesthetic without compromising on comfort.
This collection maintains the iconic Black Eyewear style, with each frame designed to harmonize with and accentuate the natural proportions of larger faces. Whether you're drawn to oversized frames or prefer a more balanced look, this collection ensures that size never limits your style.
4. A Color for everyone
Black Eyewear's frames are available in a wide range of colors, from timeless black to vintage-inspired tortoiseshell and more unique vibrant hues. When choosing frame color, consider both your skin tone and personal style. Neutral tones, like tortoiseshell or black, work well for a classic look, while bold reds, blues, and greens can add a pop of personality.
For the jazz-inspired soul who appreciates vintage vibes, Amber Havana brings retro charm, especially in our classic 1950s library frames like bestsellers Bailey and Buster. For something unexpected, unique and innovative, check out our Cloud colours, a burst of colours perfect for those who aren’t afraid of to stand out in a crowd. Looking for something minimalistic and modern? Clear Crystal glasses are a wearable and versatile choice for a clean, sophisticated look.
5. The Lab: Where Personality meets Practicality
Your eyewear should be as practical as it is expressive. Black Eyewear offers both prescription and non-prescription lenses, ensuring that every pair is as functional as it is stylish.
We work with high-quality optical lenses from world-leading manufacturers (like Hoya, Essilor, Kodak & Zeiss) to fit your new Black Eyewear glasses with the best lenses to suit your prescription needs. Our in-house Lab is also able to offer a wide range of services to help enhance your lenses and accommodate your lifestyle requirements.
