Scotch & Soda: the Amsterdam brand behind the glasses
Scotch & Soda is a Dutch fashion label. It was founded in Amsterdam in 1985 and is known for clothing and accessories with plenty of detail that look relaxed and a little playful. The accessories include eyewear: prescription frames and sunglasses that pick up the label’s style.
Scotch & Soda glasses: style, shapes and materials
Scotch & Soda glasses live on details. In recent collections these included engravings on the temples, small rivets, nose pads in gemstone colours or acetate with a terrazzo look. The photos on each product page show which details a current model has.
Shapes have ranged from full-rim and half-rim frames to mixed designs where the upper part of the frame shines in a different colour. The material shapes the character:
- Metal looks fine and light, for example in gold.
- Acetate (a plastic) allows strong colours, patterns and broader shapes.
- Mixed designs combine metal and acetate in one frame.
Scotch & Soda glasses for women and men: finding the right pair
The brand offers frames for women and for men. Whether a pair suits you depends less on the label than on face shape, size and colour. As a rule of thumb, rounder faces look balanced in more angular frames, angular faces in softer shapes. You can read more in What Glasses Suit My Face? Frames for Every Face Shape. A quick type test helps too: What Glasses Suit Me? Find Your Type in Five Steps.
- Shape: Try shapes you would not expect. Sometimes the unfamiliar frame is the one that surprises you.
- Size: Lens width, bridge width and temple length are on the product page and usually inside the temple. Compare them with a pair that fits you well.
- Colour: Muted tones are easy to combine; strong colours and patterns set an accent.
- Material: Metal for a light, understated look, acetate for colour and presence.
Scotch & Soda sunglasses
The label also comes as sunglasses. You will find them on the page Scotch & Soda sunglasses. As with any sunglasses, look for the CE mark and UV400 in the product description. How dark a lens is says nothing about UV protection.
