Silhouette Rimless Shades Meet The Sun’s Gaze
Inspired by the enduring spirit of aviation, Silhouette’s Rimless Shades collection expresses a refined masculine elegance through its ergonomic fit, robust titanium engineering, and a minimalist profile that communicates confidence without excess. Silhouette once again redefines the intersection of lightness, precision, and design purity—creating sunwear for those who move through the world with bold intention and unmistakable style.
The collection highlights two aviator-inspired silhouettes featuring bold double bars that add dimension to the frame’s refined minimalism. A well-balanced palette of pure metal and modern coatings creates a calm, understated presence, while the ultralight, flexible construction adapts effortlessly to changing conditions.

“Rimless Shades are about presence without dominance,” says Roland Keplinger, Design Director. “When a design is reduced to its essence, every line, every curve, every millimeter must work in perfect balance. This level of precision is what gives this collection its authority.”
Stripped to its essence, Silhouette’s new snap-hinge is a bold feat of innovation. No excess, just movement, durability, and all-day comfort. This reduced-to-the-core engineering defines Silhouette’s sun aesthetic: ultra-light titanium accents, precision components, and a curated selection of single-tone and gradient lenses that elevate the collection to iconic status.
