Arvid – The Sharp Cat-Eye That Cuts Through the Noise
Some sunglasses protect. Arvid by WEISS OPTIX does that and something more. A sharp geometric cat-eye silhouette with a nearly horizontal upper rim, dramatically angled outer corners, and large lenses with no lower frame — it is the sunglasses that make a statement before a word is spoken, and wear that statement with complete ease.
Four colorways. A silhouette that commands attention without demanding it. Geometric precision, worn with quiet conviction.
Sharp Geometric Cat-Eye: The Silhouette That Defines the Moment
Arvid’s silhouette is unlike a conventional cat-eye. The upper rim runs nearly horizontal — flat, wide, and deliberate — before the outer corners cut sharply downward at a steep angle, creating a wedge-shaped profile that reads as architectural and considered. The large lenses sit within this geometry without a lower frame, giving the face maximum coverage and the silhouette a visual openness that a full-frame construction cannot achieve.
The result is a shape that reads as bold from across the room and reveals its precision up close. For oval and heart-shaped faces, the strong horizontal upper line adds structure and width. For round faces, the sharp outer angles add definition and reduce the perception of roundness. For square faces, the dramatic geometry creates a deliberate visual counterpoint. For longer faces, the wide horizontal emphasis adds breadth without effort.
The genderless design means Arvid adapts to the wearer rather than prescribing a look. It is the sunglasses that work on a rooftop and a runway, a weekend and a Wednesday, without adjustment.
Construction: Precision Where It Counts
Arvid’s upper frame is constructed from substantial acetate — wide enough to carry the geometric silhouette with authority, finished in matte and semi-transparent tones that absorb light rather than reflecting it. The absence of a lower frame is a deliberate construction choice: it reduces visual weight, maximizes lens coverage, and gives the silhouette a contemporary edge that full-frame cat-eyes cannot match.
Ultra-thin temples extend from the outer corners, maintaining the frame’s sharp geometry from front to side. The construction is lightweight enough for extended outdoor wear without pressure or fatigue.
Four Colorways: From Essential to Expressive
Arvid’s palette spans the full range of the sharp cat-eye character — four colorways, each one a different expression of the same geometric conviction.
- Black — matte black frame with deep grey lenses. The essential — the colorway that amplifies the sharp geometry’s authority and works in every context without qualification. The choice for those who want the silhouette to speak without commentary.
- Silver — a semi-transparent grey-white frame with deep grey lenses. Cool, contemporary, and quietly distinctive — the colorway that reads as considered without being obvious, and pairs with the widest range of wardrobe choices.
- Slate Blue — a deep, matte navy blue frame with dark grey lenses. The colorway that occupies the space between authoritative and expressive — the choice for those who want their sunglasses to signal something without spelling it out.
- Solid Brown — a warm, matte brown frame with blue-green lenses. The most unexpected pairing of the four — the warm frame against the cool lens creates a combination that reads as considered and distinctive in equal measure. The colorway for those who want their sunglasses to carry character without effort.
Where Arvid Belongs
Arvid is the sunglasses for those who move between environments and want a frame that holds its visual identity across all of them. From direct sunlight to overcast afternoons, from urban settings to open landscapes, the sharp geometric silhouette and large lens coverage perform consistently — protecting without compromising the frame’s aesthetic.
For those who want sunglasses that function as a wardrobe focal point rather than an accessory, Arvid is the answer. For those who want their eyewear to carry conviction without requiring effort, Arvid is the frame.
