Introducing the MILAN Frame: The Departure Collection’s Newest Addition

Coming soon, the MILAN frame will be the newest addition to the L'Atitude 52°N Departure Collection. Its panto silhouette combines rounded lenses, balanced proportions and a defined upper line, creating a versatile frame with a quieter presence.

The MILAN Frame, Shaped for Daily Wear

Panto frames are recognised by their rounded lenses, gently flattened upper line and high-set hinges. MILAN gives this classic silhouette a contemporary sense of ease, with balanced proportions that feel polished without appearing overly formal.

The rounded lenses soften the features, while the defined upper line gives the frame enough presence to complete a look. Its understated character moves naturally between crisp shirting, relaxed knitwear, structured jackets and the familiar pieces worn throughout the week.

MILAN is designed to remain comfortable as the setting changes, becoming an effortless part of the day rather than something that needs to be adjusted or reconsidered. Photochromic lenses move with the light, shifting from clear indoors to tinted outside while keeping the frame visually consistent with the rest of your look.

Olive or Obsidian

The MILAN frame will be available in Olive and Obsidian, with each colourway bringing a different quality to its rounded silhouette. 

Olive introduces muted colour without taking over the rest of the outfit. It works particularly well with warm neutrals, navy, brown, stone and soft grey. The finish gives MILAN an individual character while remaining easy to wear throughout the week.

Obsidian creates a more defined outline around the eyes. Its darker finish pairs well with monochrome clothing, crisp shirts, structured jackets and deep denim. The panto shape keeps the overall expression composed, even when the colour creates a stronger contrast.

A New Addition to the Departure Collection

MILAN expands the Departure Collection with a second expression of its design philosophy. Moving in a different direction than the original, bold navigator silhouette of the BERLIN frames, MILAN’s rounded panto shape feels quieter, more versatile and closer to classic everyday eyewear. Where BERLIN brings definition, MILAN brings softness. The choice comes down to how you want the frame to sit within your personal style.

Both frames are designed around days that move between places and plans. A touch or voice command can capture 12MP photos or 1080p video from your point of view, keeping spontaneous moments within easy reach. The eyewear leads, with its integrated intelligence sitting within the design, quietly enhancing your day to day. Such as on a walk from a gallery to dinner, open-ear audio keeps music, calls and directions close without shutting out traffic, conversation or the city around you. When the route leads somewhere unfamiliar, Goya AI can offer context on a landmark or help translate a brief exchange, then step back as you continue exploring. 

Preview the MILAN Frame Online

If you are curious to see how you may look with the new MILAN or even the BERLIN frames, we encourage you to try the Virtual Try-On button found on both purchase pages. With your phone or computer camera turned on, click the Virtual Try-On and get a general impression of how MILAN or BERLIN may look on you.

The Virtual Try-On feature is intended as an initial visual reference rather than a precise guide to fit. Product measurements and advice from an optician remain the best ways to assess how the frame will sit and feel.

Coming soon, MILAN brings a softer silhouette to the Departure Collection, shaped around classic eyewear, daily comfort and the changing rhythm of the city. Discover the MILAN frame ahead of its release and follow our Newsletter so you don’t miss the moment they come out.
