Style isn’t just about colour, thickness, or material — it begins with form. The shape of your eyewear sets the tone before any detail comes into play. It’s your way of framing the world — and letting the world frame you.
From the soft lines of a panto frame to the assertiveness of a rectangle, each silhouette carries its own kind of energy. And whether it’s a Parisian label like Ahlem, the architectural clarity of Mykita, or the urban minimalism of Bo Bo Noir, great design always begins with shape.
The Rectangle: Clean, Composed, and Always in Control
There’s a reason the rectangle never fades — it represents precision. This silhouette is favoured by those who walk with intention and choose clarity over noise. Brands like Cutler and Gross or Poppy Lissiman have given the rectangle new life through colour and texture. At Bo Bo Noir, we take a subtler route — favouring refined lines, earthy tones, and a structure that feels effortless, not rigid.
A rectangular frame doesn’t ask for attention — it earns it.
The Round Panto: Artistic, Understated, and Timelessly Cool
Some shapes speak softly and still get heard. The panto frame — a rounded silhouette with a hint of vintage — has been a quiet force for decades. Labels like Garrett Leight or Salt Optics have embraced this form, but each with their own interpretation: West Coast ease, retro nostalgia, academic sharpness.
At Bo Bo Noir, the panto is reimagined with bolder proportions, modern finishes, and colourways that feel grounded in reality — not fantasy. It's unisex, universal, and unbothered by trends.
The Bold Round Optical: Intelligence Made Visible
There’s a difference between wearing glasses and owning them. A bold round optical frame isn’t afraid to take space — especially in acetate. It brings focus to the eyes while grounding your expression in intention.
Ace & Tate leans into practicality, while Moscot keeps it rooted in heritage. Bo Bo Noir’s approach is more editorial: refined but present, modern but never sterile. Because opticals aren’t about hiding — they’re about revealing.
Shape First. Style Second.
At Bo Bo Noir, we don’t chase silhouettes — we choose the ones that endure. Each frame is a study in proportion, weight, and balance. Because when you get the shape right, everything else becomes effortless.
Your shape is your signature. Choose it with intention.
