Khaite x Oliver Peoples 1994C RoundFrame Metal Glasses

Product Insights & Style Tips

There’s an old-school glamour to the Khaite x Oliver Peoples 1994C Round-Frame Metal Glasses—think young Lauren Hutton heading downtown, relentless flashbulbs, a book tucked under her arm. This collaboration takes a vintage silhouette and dials it up with impeccable Italian construction, the metal frames whisper-light but substantial, a nod to Oliver Peoples’ obsession with quality. You’ll catch subtle art deco echoes in the Empire hardware-inspired layered temples, and a flash of personality in the alternating Khaite and Oliver Peoples logos at each tip. Each pair arrives in a lipstick red case that feels more like an objet than mere accessory storage—a detail you’d expect from Khaite’s cult design playbook.

With the 1994C, the scale stays intentionally compact—a rare nod to those who crave a more tailored fit or who simply prefer a smaller, sharper lens profile. The round contour flatters narrower faces or those after a shrunken ‘90s shape that balances delicacy and attitude. They slip easily into a jacket pocket or day bag (the included drawstring pouch does double duty as a lens cloth), and the neutral metal palette glides across casual and elevated wardrobes alike. These glasses wear as easily with a slick ponytail and oversized jacket as they do with bare skin and raw denim, never overpowering—just amplifying whatever statement you’re already making. Khaite’s collaboration with Oliver Peoples distills everything both brands do best: heritage details, modern edge, and a sense of quiet confidence that reads in any room.
