How I’d Wear It

Oxblood looks especially good with LAUDE’s Oversized Cotton Sweater in Chocolate and ivory corduroy barrel-leg pants. The deep red-brown acetate works beautifully with chocolate and cream.

Why I Chose It

I chose the Amelia because I love the glamour of an aviator, but these are unusually light and comfortable. On me, they sit without pinching my nose, so I can wear them all day—exactly the balance of beauty and practicality I look for in accessories. I also appreciate Machete's use of Italian cellulose acetate, a plant-derived alternative to conventional petroleum-based plastics. It allows for the beautiful depth, translucency, and variation in their frames, bringing together the design and material choices that matter to me.
