Frame Profile and Silhouette

The Marc Jacobs MARC 788 aviator men’s eyeglasses deliver a bold, structured silhouette. The frame sits wide across the front. A distinctive double-bar brow bridge defines the top edge. Combined with the squared lower rim, the overall shape reads as a modern take on the classic aviator. The front is confirmed acetate, as marked on the frame itself.

Colour and Lens Appearance

The O9Q colourway presents a transparent brown acetate finish. The frame allows light to pass through, giving it a warm, slightly smoky tone. This translucency adds depth to the brown without making it heavy or opaque. The lenses are clear, as expected for an optical frame. No tint is visible in the product images.

Temple and Hardware Detailing

The temples are wide and flat, finished in matching transparent brown acetate. A grooved, dark-tone metal insert runs along the outer edge of each temple near the hinge ? a detail visible in both the front and rear images. White “MARC JACOBS” lettering sits cleanly on the inner face of each temple. The hinge area features a dark-tone metal connector. Temple tips are smooth and rounded, in the same brown acetate as the arm.

Size and Fit Reference

The MARC 788 carries a 55mm lens width, a 19mm bridge, and 145mm temple length. A 55mm lens width sits on the larger end for men’s optical frames. The 19mm bridge accommodates a wider nose bridge. The 145mm temple length is a standard adult arm length. These three measurements give buyers a reliable size reference before purchase.

Everyday Use

This frame suits a wide range of daily settings. It works well for office wear, city commutes, and weekend outings. The transparent brown finish pairs naturally with casual and smart-casual wardrobes. Furthermore, the double-bar brow detail gives it a distinct visual identity. Those who prefer a darker option may want to consider the black colourway also available in this model. Additionally, the 55mm width makes it a strong choice for those who prefer a wider optical frame.
