Purple Glasses
Purple glasses frames are bolder than most people expect them to be in practice — and more versatile. From deep violet and plum glasses with a rich, jewel-toned intensity to softer lilac and lavender frames that carry purple with a lighter, more understated touch, the range of purple in eyewear is wide. Purple rectangular glasses are a popular choice for women who want a frame with colour and personality that still works in everyday and professional settings. Deeper purple acetate glasses — particularly in plum and aubergine tones — pair naturally with dark wardrobes, while lighter lilac prescription glasses work well alongside neutral and pastel colour palettes.
Frequently Asked Questions
What shades of purple glasses frames are available?
Purple eyewear spans a wide tonal range — from pale lilac and soft lavender through to mid-purple, violet, plum and deep aubergine. Each shade carries a different energy: lighter purples feel delicate and feminine, while deeper tones like plum and violet read as bold and characterful.
Do purple glasses suit all skin tones?
Purple frames work across most skin tones. Cool purple and violet tones suit fair and cool skin tones particularly well. Warmer plum and aubergine tones complement medium and olive complexions. Purple is also a popular choice for those with grey or silver hair, where the cool tone creates a sophisticated contrast.
Are purple glasses frames in fashion?
Yes — purple has grown in popularity as part of a broader trend for jewel-toned eyewear. Lilac and lavender frames in particular have appeared across fashion and eyewear collections in recent seasons, alongside deeper violet and plum styles.

Yes. All purple 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.
