Havana Glasses
Havana glasses frames are one of the most enduringly popular patterns in eyewear — warm, characterful and flattering across virtually every face shape and skin tone. The Havana pattern draws from the classic tortoiseshell aesthetic but with a brighter, sunnier palette — typically blending amber, honey, golden brown and warm tan tones rather than the darker blacks and deep browns of traditional tortoiseshell. The result is a frame that feels both vintage and contemporary, with enough warmth to complement most complexions without the visual heaviness of a darker patterned frame.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between Havana and tortoiseshell glasses?
Havana and tortoiseshell are closely related patterns, but Havana frames tend to use brighter, warmer tones — amber, honey and golden brown — with less black or dark brown in the pattern. Tortoiseshell frames are typically darker overall, with more contrast between the brown and black elements. Havana reads as lighter and warmer, tortoiseshell as deeper and more dramatic.
Do Havana glasses suit all skin tones?
Havana frames are particularly flattering on warm and medium skin tones, where the amber and honey tones complement natural warmth in the complexion. They also work well on fair skin tones, where the warm pattern adds colour and life to the face without clashing.
Are Havana glasses frames in style?
Yes — Havana has been a consistently popular frame colour for decades and shows no sign of going out of fashion. The warm, patterned finish appeals to those who want something more interesting than black or brown, but more timeless than a bold solid colour.
Can I get Havana prescription glasses?
Yes. All Havana 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.
