We heartily endorse adding trending shapes to your eyewear collection (hello, slim ovals!); but while you're at it, why not embrace frames that seamlessly fuse your fashion sense with a nod to sustainability? The Calvin Klein Eyewear Naturals collection looks great, of course—the brand has long been at the forefront of minimalist design—but it also helps you feel good about what you're wearing, knowing you're making a positive choice for the planet.

At the core of the Naturals line is the groundbreaking use of bio-acetate, a remarkable alternative to traditional acetate that consists of more than 60 percent materials derived from natural sources. The collection's brushed finish and earthy tones also bring a piece of the outdoors into every outfit, from rosewood's muted allure to calming sky blue. Pair the frames with Tritanâ„¢ Renew lenses, made from up to 50 percent recycled content, and your eyeglass choice becomes a complete statement of your commitment to a greener world.

These butterfly frames, which come in four shades—Chalk, Black, Taupe, and Azure—present a versatile and statement-making silhouette we love. But our favorite feature may be the tapered temples, which guarantee a secure fit — in other words, no more nose slippage (IYKYK). A subtle lasered logo is the finishing touch.

Going Green

Encourage him to go bolder with this distinctive, rectangular shape in an unexpected seaweed green — a fresh alternative to add a dapper dash of color to weekday suits and sweater combos, or a point of interest to cozy athleisure staples on low-key weekends. Equipped with seven-barrel hinges, they're exceptionally sturdy for everyday wear.

Universal Appeal

This distinctly retro, 1960s-era silhouette has been flawlessly modernized with faceted angles and a brushed effect. The classic black speaks to eyewear classicists, and the just-bold-enough shape pairs as seamlessly with a wardrobe of neutrals as with more vibrant attire.
