Whilst you can use any colour to help turn that frown upside down, we think yellow is the best choice. What could be better than the colour of happiness? It eludes positive psychological behaviour. We’ve collected our favourite yellow frames for a style lookbook that can boost your mood any time, any season.
THE yellow glasses
For the ultimate, everyday pair of yellow glasses, these Designer Collective LB 3 frames are the ones. Their soft, cat-eye silhouettes don’t take away from the gorgeous peach colour but still make the frames shapely and refreshing. They are definitely the staple you need in your accessories closet this summer. Pair with a black tee, linen trousers and chunky orange jewellery for an on-the-go look.
Sunny, square specs
For some sharper angles, these Specsavers Frida glasses might be for you. Not only do they come in a happy yellow, but their inner rims are painted lilac to compliment the colour. The square shape is simple to balance the colour, so there’s nowhere you can’t take them. Wear with a lilac two-piece for easy colour-blocking.
Two-toned pattern
For a more subtle touch of yellow, the Specsavers Saffron frames are perfect. The warm yellow tones are neutralised with tortoiseshell to create a wearable caramel blend. These everyday yellow glasses nail the classic look with a modern twist.

Gold, metal frames
If you’re more into metal frames than acetate ones, don’t worry — we’ve got your back too. Replicate the warm, happy tones in a subtle way with delicate gold silhouettes. Like this classic style frame for both men and women. The oversized lenses borrow a vintage 70’s style with golden frames that bring the style up-to-date.
Stick with the slimmer style with these Comfit Amelia frames. The narrow design is a must-have. Simple and understated but still an embodiment of sunny tones. Sparkling gems add an element of opulence to any casual outfit. Pair with other delicate golden accessories like a watch, belt or jewellery to keep the theme classy.
Yellow sunglasses
Emulate the yellow style with gold sunglasses. For a simple style go for these Tetra Sun Rx frames. The warm colour palette is perfect for everyday wear and will suit any complexion.
For a quirky twist, try the Viktor-Rolf VR 01 Sun Rx frames. With the same yellow undertones and brown lenses but an avant-garde approach to lens shape — they make a statement. Contrast against a simple outfit, like a floral summer dress and trainers.
Double the dopamine
Want to take the look a step further? Try these double-bridged designer styles. For example, this oversized Marc Jacobs Sun Rx 14 frame. With signature daisies and tortoiseshell tips. Pair with a babydoll dress and cowboy boots for an on-trend look.
Or, for a funkier style, go for these Viktor-Rolf VR 03 Sun Rx sunnies. Their small round lenses are a clear nod to the retro style of the 60s. The two-tone design layers vibrant yellow against warm brown hues to create a unique look. These shades will look smart with a simple white tee and beige relaxed trousers.

How to style yellow glasses and sunglasses
Yellow eyewear is the perfect touch of colour to boost your mood. It might seem daunting, but yellow is an easy colour to coordinate with any outfit — especially in the spring and summer months. Keep it muted and pair yellow accessories with a neutral outfit (white and black will work well) to play it safe. Alternatively, stick to other bright and pastel colours to create a dopamine-driving masterpiece. You can always match a block colour like yellow with a pattern too!
