Minimalism in eyewear used to mean black, thin, and barely visible. But that era is over.
Today, neutrals are evolving and nothing captures this shift better than cream and bone-toned frames.
These light, chalky tones bring softness without sacrificing presence. They feel warm, architectural, and unexpected the kind of minimalism that stands out by staying calm.
Whether in sunglasses or optical frames, cream and bone acetate is proving to be the new go-to for those who want refined simplicity with character.
Why cream is the new black
Cream tones have a way of elevating a frame without hardening the face. Where black can feel heavy or aggressive, bone softens lines and blends beautifully with both cool and warm skin tones.
It’s the neutral that adapts. Under bright sun or soft indoor light, cream-toned sunglasses reflect just enough to create a glow something black simply can’t replicate.
The architectural appeal of pale acetate
There’s something sculptural about cream frames. Maybe it’s how the colour reveals shadows and depth more clearly, or how it draws attention to the shape of the frame itself.
Rounded shapes become more organic. Angles feel cleaner. Minimalism gains texture without needing anything extra.
Where Bo Bo Noir stands
At Bo Bo Noir, cream is one of our signature tones. We don’t use it as a seasonal colour, but as a material of expression, a way to explore balance, softness and clarity in a bold frame.
◼ Jane in Cream White
With its clean rectangular shape and soft white tone, the Jane in Cream White brings structure with lightness. It’s minimal, but it’s not invisible. It’s presence softened.
For those who love clean design but don’t relate to stark black or shiny metallics, cream and bone are the natural next step.
They say less but with much more depth.
