Start with proportions: strong, defined features suit wider, bolder shapes, while smaller, delicate features call for more compact, softer frames. An oval face is enhanced by cat-eye styles, a round face by squared lines, a square face by rounder shapes. When in doubt, your nearest Yalea optician can guide you through a fitting.

Through colour analysis (armocromia): the palette that enhances your combination of skin, eyes and hair. Warm, luminous seasons (spring, autumn) are flattered by tones like coral, orange and brown; cool seasons (summer, winter) by powder pink, blue and emerald green. Yalea developed this guide with consultant Rossella Migliaccio.

Eyeglasses is the collection of prescription frames, designed to be fitted with graduated lenses; Sunglasses is the sunglasses collection. Both share the same design language and are completed by the Petite line, proportioned for smaller faces, and Clip-On, optical frames with a magnetic sun clip.

Yalea presents two collections a year, spring-summer and autumn-winter, each with new optical and sun styles and colour variants. Seasonal collections are joined by recurring special projects, such as the Yalea x Frida Kahlo capsule. The current season’s styles are gathered in this catalogue.

Yes, and it is the best way to choose: Yalea glasses are tried on and purchased at selected opticians and partner boutiques. Trying them in person lets you check fit, proportions and colour on your own face. Find your nearest store with the locator on the Boutiques page.
