Prescription aviator glasses from Silhouette

They first appeared in the 1930s, when the US Air Force designed them to protect pilots’ eyes from harsh sunlight above the clouds. And ever since, they have been a symbol of confidence with a sense of adventure. Now, aviators are not just a popular sunglasses design—they’re also a perfect choice for prescription eyewear. From minimalistic rimless models to bold full-rims, optical aviators from Silhouette always capture the understated glamour of the original design classic.

Prescription aviators from Silhouette: The sky’s the limit

Each pair of Silhouette prescription eyewear is tailor-made to meet your individual needs. For decades, we have been creating hand-crafted eyewear in our home country of Austria. We specialise in rimless eyewear designs with the widest range of colour combinations, along with bold eyewear designs, including aviators. When you choose aviators from Silhouette, you can always expect the finest quality and materials, along with distinctive design features.

How do you wear aviator glasses?

One of the best things about Silhouette aviators is that the styling possibilities are endless. You can wear your Silhouette aviators with a stylish jacket for a smart business-casual look, or pair them with your favourite jeans and t-shirt for a classic feel-good combo. Thanks to their understated elegance, they enhance any outfit without upstaging it.

Style Shades: Prescription glasses meet sunglasses

Style Shades from Silhouette let you instantly transform your prescription rimless aviators into stylish sunglasses with 100% UV protection and a polarising filter. It’s the latest smart eyewear solution from Silhouette, a brand with a long history of innovation, made in Austria.

Which face shapes look best with aviators?

Silhouette creates prescription aviators for men and women in a wide range of designs, colours and styles. This means you can always find the perfect pair to match your skin tone, hair colour and face shape. Our glasses are designed to highlight your natural features—never to hide them. There are a few face shapes that look especially good in aviators:

• Square: The rounded lenses have a harmonious softening effect on square face shapes.

• Rectangle: For rectangular faces, a rounded lens adds balance and makes the face appear rounder.

• Oval: Aviators are a perfect choice for accentuating the natural beauty of an oval-shaped face.

• Triangle: If you have a heart-shaped face, your forehead and eyes often appear broader in contrast with your chin. Aviators reverse that effect, creating a more symmetrical appearance.

Silhouette eyewear is loved throughout the world for its ultralight comfort and meticulous craftsmanship. Our eyewear is designed to provide the perfect fit. We adhere to the strictest standards of quality.

Pushing the boundaries of lightweight eyewear design

Our aviators also offer Silhouette’s familiar signature lightness. That means total comfort and perfect vision, every time. The innovative models are made from extremely lightweight materials (high-tech titanium and SPX^®+ plastic) and assembled without using screws. At Silhouette, we believe that comfort and style should go hand in hand. Our eyewear designs prove that every day.
