Frame Profile and Silhouette

The Marc Jacobs MARC 788 black aviator men’s eyeglasses carry a wide, structured front profile. A double-bar brow bridge runs across the top edge. The lower rim is squared and solid. Together, these two elements create a modern aviator shape with clear visual weight. The front is confirmed acetate, as marked on the frame.

Colour and Lens Appearance

The 807 colourway is a deep gloss black. The finish is uniform across the entire front frame. No tortoiseshell or pattern is present. The solid black gives the frame a clean, high-contrast appearance. 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 gloss black acetate. Three gold-tone metal strips sit on the outer face of each temple near the hinge. This detail appears consistently across all three product images. Gold-tone “MARC JACOBS” lettering follows further along each arm. The brow bar also features a slim gold-tone metal strip running across its length. Temple tips are smooth and rounded, in the same black acetate.

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 side for men’s optical frames. The 19mm bridge suits a wider nose bridge. The 145mm temple length is a standard adult measurement. These figures give buyers a clear reference point before purchase.

Everyday Use

This frame works across a range of daily settings. It suits office wear, city use, and evening occasions equally well. The gloss black finish pairs with most wardrobes without conflict. Moreover, the gold-tone hardware adds contrast against the black without being overstated. Those who prefer a lighter colourway may also want to consider the transparent brown version of this model. Additionally, the wide 55mm lens suits those who prefer a more dominant optical frame.
