Burgundy Glasses

Burgundy in eyewear is a deep, wine-red tone — darker than red but warmer than maroon. It has a rich, bold quality that reads differently depending on the material; burgundy acetate frames tend to have a glossy, saturated finish, while metal frames carry a more muted, refined version of the colour.

Burgundy frames are particularly flattering on warm and medium skin tones, where the deep red complements natural warmth in the complexion. They also work well on deeper skin tones, where the contrast adds definition. Fair skin tones can carry burgundy well in a more understated, darker shade.

Burgundy frames pair well with navy, grey, cream, camel, olive and black — essentially most wardrobe neutrals. They work especially well in autumn and winter wardrobes and are a popular choice for those who want a frame with personality that still works in professional settings.

Yes. All burgundy frames at Glasses Store can be ordered with single vision, varifocal, bifocal or non-prescription lenses. Coatings including anti-reflective, blue light blocking and transitions are also available.
