Our Emporio Armani blue glasses collection brings together a focused, hand-picked edit of prescription frames in every shade of blue, from deep navy and rich cobalt to cool teal and clear crystal blue acetate. Blue is one of the most quietly confident colours you can wear on your face, and this small curated range of seven Emporio Armani optical frames proves how much personality a considered blue can add without ever tipping into fuss. Priced between £50 and £105, spanning adult styles such as the EA3147, EA3245U and EA3206 alongside the playful Emporio Armani Kids EK3202, EK3007 and EK3006, this is a tight, thoughtful selection rather than an endless wall of choice, so every frame here has earned its place. As an authorised UK stockist of genuine designer eyewear, Ardor Eyewear supplies each pair as 100% authentic Emporio Armani, ready to be glazed with your prescription and delivered with free UK shipping.
Emporio Armani blue glasses as the approachable colour statement
There is a common assumption that coloured spectacle frames are a bold, look-at-me choice reserved for the very fashion-forward. Blue gently disproves that. Where a bright red or a vivid green frame announces itself the moment you walk into a room, blue reads as calm, considered and grown-up. It is the colour of denim, of a favourite winter coat, of the sea and the sky, so our eyes are already primed to find it easy and familiar. That is exactly what makes Emporio Armani blue glasses such a clever first step for anyone who wants to move on from safe black or brown frames but is not quite ready for something loud.
Emporio Armani, the younger and more contemporary line from the Armani house, is well suited to this idea. The brand has always specialised in refined, wearable design with just enough attitude, and its blue frames tend to balance a fashion-led shape with a colour that still works at the office, at the school gate or across a dinner table. Choosing blue over the obvious neutral is a small act of self-expression: it says you have thought about how your glasses look, without making your glasses the only thing anyone notices. For a great many wearers, that is the sweet spot, and it is the reason we built this edit around blue specifically.
Because glasses are worn every single day and sit at the very centre of your face, the colour you choose matters more than it would on almost any other accessory. A blue frame becomes part of how people read your expression, so it pays to pick a tone that feels like you rather than a novelty you tire of by spring. The frames in this collection are designed to be daily companions, not one-off statement pieces, and that longevity is a big part of their appeal.
Who suits Emporio Armani blue glasses: skin tone and eye colour
One of the reasons blue is so widely flattering is that it is a cool colour with an enormous range, which means there is almost always a version that harmonises with your natural colouring. Understanding a few simple guidelines helps you choose Emporio Armani blue glasses that genuinely lift your complexion rather than fight it.
Warm skin tones often think they must stick to warm frame colours such as tortoiseshell, honey or gold, but a well-chosen blue can be beautifully complementary. The trick is to lean toward warmer, softer blues with a hint of teal, petrol or green in them, which sit closer to the warm side of the spectrum and create a pleasing contrast against golden or olive skin. A blue tortoise frame, where blue is blended with brown and amber, is especially forgiving on warm complexions because it keeps that grounding warmth while introducing colour.
Cool skin tones, with pink or blue undertones, tend to shine in crisp, clear blues: navy, cobalt and transparent crystal blue all echo the natural coolness of the skin and look effortlessly coordinated. Fair, cool complexions can carry a bright cobalt beautifully, while deeper cool skin tones look striking in a saturated navy or an inky blue-black combination.
Eye colour adds another layer. If you have blue eyes, a blue frame can intensify and echo them, drawing attention upward and making your eye colour the focal point, particularly with clear or navy acetate. If you have brown or hazel eyes, blue provides a lovely complementary contrast; because blue and brown sit opposite each other on the colour wheel, a blue frame makes warm brown eyes look richer and more luminous. Green and grey eyes fall happily in between, picking up teal and petrol tones especially well. Hair colour plays a supporting role too, with blue frames looking particularly sharp against silver, grey and salt-and-pepper hair, and adding welcome coolness alongside blonde and light brown.
If you are still deciding whether colour is right for you at all, it can help to browse a broader spread of styles first. Our full prescription glasses collection and the wider designer eyeglasses range let you compare blue against neutral options side by side, so you can see just how much life a considered colour brings.
The range of blue tones in our Emporio Armani blue glasses edit
Blue is not a single colour but a family, and part of the pleasure of shopping Emporio Armani blue glasses is discovering how different each shade feels to wear. The table below breaks down the main blue tones you will encounter across this collection and the mood each one creates, to help you match a shade to your personality and wardrobe.
| Blue tone | Character | Best suited to |
|---|---|---|
| Navy | Deep, understated and almost a neutral; works like black but softer | Anyone wanting an everyday frame with quiet colour; professional settings |
| Cobalt | Bright, saturated and confident without being harsh | Cool skin tones and wearers ready for a little more presence |
| Teal / petrol | Blue-green blend with warmth and depth | Warm and olive complexions; green, hazel and grey eyes |
| Transparent / crystal blue | Light, airy and modern; lets skin show through | Softening the look of a frame; blue eyes; a barely-there pop of colour |
| Blue tortoise | Blue marbled with brown and amber; classic with a twist | Warm skin tones; anyone who loves tortoiseshell but wants something fresher |
| Blue-and-black | Navy or blue paired with black temples or trim | A safe, versatile entry into colour; corporate and formal wardrobes |
Navy is the natural starting point and behaves almost like a neutral, which is why it is such a reassuring choice for a first coloured frame. Cobalt turns the volume up a notch, offering true colour that still stays elegant. Teal and petrol tones bridge blue and green and tend to be the most flattering on warm complexions. Transparent crystal blue has become hugely popular in recent seasons because it feels light and contemporary, letting your skin tone show through the acetate for a softer effect. Blue tortoise and blue-and-black combinations, meanwhile, offer a gentle, low-commitment way to try colour while keeping the familiar depth of a darker frame.
Frame shapes and materials in Emporio Armani blue glasses
Colour is only half the story; the shape and material of a frame determine how it sits on your face and how the blue actually reads in the light. This collection spans a considered mix of silhouettes so that the colour works with your features rather than against them.
Frame shapes
Across the range you will find rectangular and square styles that lend a structured, professional feel and suit rounder or softer face shapes; rounder and panto shapes that add a creative, characterful note and balance stronger, more angular features; and easygoing pilot and navigator-inspired shapes with a relaxed, unisex appeal. Slimmer, more delicate frames flatter smaller faces, while bolder, chunkier acetate shapes make more of the blue colour and give a contemporary, fashion-led look. Because Emporio Armani designs with a modern wardrobe in mind, most shapes here read as clean and current rather than fussy, so the colour does the talking.
Materials: blue acetate, blue metal and combination
The material carries the colour, and each behaves differently. Blue acetate frames are the most expressive, because acetate is a rich, layered plastic that can be built up in navy, cobalt, transparent blue or blended blue tortoise effects with real depth and subtle variation from angle to angle. Acetate feels warm against the skin, is easy to adjust and gives a substantial, quality feel in the hand. Blue metal glasses take a cleaner, more minimal route, with slim profiles and a lightweight feel; here the blue often appears as a polished or matte finish on temples and rims, giving a precise, understated look that is ideal if you prefer your glasses barely-there. Combination frames marry the two, typically pairing a metal front or brow with acetate temples, which lets designers place the blue exactly where it flatters most and blend materials for a more dynamic finish. Whichever route you choose, every frame in the collection is genuine Emporio Armani, built to the brand's quality standards and finished with authentic branding.
Lens and prescription options for your Emporio Armani blue glasses
Every frame in this collection is designed to take prescription lenses, and at Ardor Eyewear we glaze them to your exact requirements in-house before they reach you. When you choose your Emporio Armani blue glasses, you can specify the lens type that suits your sight and your lifestyle. We offer single vision lenses for straightforward distance or reading correction; varifocal lenses for seamless near-to-far vision in one lens; and bifocal lenses if you prefer a defined division between reading and distance zones. If you would like to compare dedicated near-vision options, our varifocal glasses collection and our reading glasses range explain each lens type in more detail.
Beyond the core prescription, a range of lens enhancements is available. You can add a blue-light filter to help with long hours in front of screens, choose tinted lenses if you want a hint of sunglass-style shading, or opt for photochromic lenses that darken automatically in bright light and clear indoors. It is worth being clear about one thing: a blue-light-filter lens is a completely separate option from the blue colour of these frames. The frames here are blue because of their acetate or metal colour, and you can pair them with a clear, blue-light or any other lens you like. In other words, you do not have to choose a blue-light lens to enjoy a blue frame, and you can absolutely have both if you wish.
Because each pair is made up individually to your prescription, please allow approximately 7 to 10 working days for glazing before dispatch. That short wait is the difference between an off-the-shelf accessory and eyewear built precisely for your eyes, and it applies to single vision, varifocal, bifocal and specialist lens choices alike.
Emporio Armani blue glasses for men, women and kids
This edit is intentionally versatile. Many of the adult styles, including models such as the EA3147, EA3245U and EA3206, are unisex or easily worn across genders, since a good blue frame rarely needs to be strictly masculine or feminine. That said, if you prefer to shop by fit, our men's eyeglasses collection and our women's prescription frames gather styles sized and shaped with those proportions in mind, and browsing them alongside this range can help you settle on the right size.
The collection also includes the Emporio Armani Kids line, with frames such as the EK3202, EK3007 and EK3006. Blue is a brilliant colour for children's glasses: it is fun and characterful without being garish, it appeals to a wide range of children, and it hides the everyday marks of school life better than a paler frame. Emporio Armani Kids frames are built with younger wearers in mind, with the durability and comfort a growing child needs, while still carrying the design credibility of the parent brand. For a child who is new to wearing glasses, a bright cobalt or a friendly navy can turn a potentially self-conscious moment into something they are genuinely pleased to put on each morning.
How to style and wear coloured Emporio Armani blue glasses
Wearing a coloured frame is easier than many people expect, and blue is one of the most cooperative colours to build a look around. The simplest approach is to treat your Emporio Armani blue glasses as an accent that ties into what you already wear. Blue lives happily in most wardrobes: it sits naturally with denim, greys, whites, navies and camels, and it provides a cool counterpoint to warmer tones like rust, mustard and olive.
If you want your frames to feel coordinated, echo the blue elsewhere in your outfit, in a shirt, a scarf or a knit, so the colour reads as intentional. If you want them to pop, wear them against neutrals and let the blue be the single hit of colour in an otherwise pared-back look. For work, a navy or blue-and-black frame reads as polished and professional, effectively functioning as a smarter alternative to black. For weekends and creative settings, a cobalt or transparent crystal blue brings personality and looks brilliant with casual dressing. Because blue is inherently cool and calm, it rarely clashes, which is exactly why it is such a low-risk way to start wearing colour on your face. Once you are comfortable, you may find, as many wearers do, that a neutral frame starts to feel a little flat by comparison.

Caring for your blue Emporio Armani frames
A little care keeps blue frames looking their best for years. Clean your lenses with a microfibre cloth and a dedicated lens spray or a spot of mild soapy water, never with your shirt or a paper tissue, which can scratch coatings over time. Rinse away dust and grit before wiping, as dry rubbing can drag particles across the lens. Store your glasses in their case when they are not on your face, and always place them down folded rather than resting on the lenses. Avoid leaving frames on a car dashboard or windowsill, since prolonged heat can weaken acetate and loosen fittings. If your frames ever feel loose or sit unevenly, a quick professional adjustment will restore a comfortable, secure fit and protect the finish of the colour. Treated well, a quality blue acetate or metal frame will hold its depth of colour and its shape for the long term.
Frequently asked questions about Emporio Armani blue glasses
Do "blue glasses" mean the frames are blue or the lenses filter blue light?
In this collection, blue refers to the colour of the frame itself, in tones such as navy, cobalt, teal, transparent crystal blue and blue tortoise. It does not mean the lenses filter blue light. A blue-light-filter lens is a separate option you can add to any prescription if you spend long hours on screens, but it is entirely independent of the frame colour, and you can pair a blue frame with clear, blue-light or any other lens.
Can these Emporio Armani frames take my prescription?
Yes. Every frame in this collection is designed to accept prescription lenses, and we glaze them to your exact prescription before dispatch. You can choose single vision, varifocal, bifocal, blue-light, tinted or photochromic lenses to suit your sight and lifestyle. Simply supply a current prescription when you order.
How long will my prescription glasses take to arrive?
Because each pair is made up individually to your prescription, please allow approximately 7 to 10 working days for glazing before your order is dispatched. UK shipping is then free of charge. Timings can vary slightly for more complex or specialist lens requirements.
Are these genuine Emporio Armani glasses?
Absolutely. Ardor Eyewear is an authorised UK stockist of genuine designer eyewear, and every pair in this collection is 100% authentic Emporio Armani, complete with correct branding and build quality. We never sell imitation or grey-market frames.
Which shade of blue will suit me best?
As a general guide, warm and olive skin tones tend to suit warmer teal and petrol blues or a blue tortoise, while cool skin tones look excellent in crisp navy, cobalt and transparent crystal blue. Brown and hazel eyes gain a lovely contrast from blue, and blue eyes are echoed and intensified by it. If in doubt, navy is the most neutral and forgiving place to start.
Do you offer Emporio Armani blue glasses for children?
Yes. The collection includes the Emporio Armani Kids range, with models such as the EK3202, EK3007 and EK3006. These frames are built for the durability and comfort younger wearers need, and blue is a popular, characterful colour that many children are happy to wear, while still carrying the design credibility of the Emporio Armani name.
What is your returns policy?
We offer a 14-day returns policy, giving you time to be sure your new frames are right for you. Please note that return postage is paid by the customer. If you have any questions about a return or an adjustment, our UK team is happy to help.
Can I get these frames as sunglasses or reading glasses too?
These particular styles are optical frames for prescription glazing, but you can specify tinted or photochromic lenses if you want a sun-ready pair, and reading-strength single vision lenses if you need them for close work. For dedicated ranges, browse our designer sunglasses and prescription eyeglasses frames collections.
