Signal confidence, creativity, and intentional style
MOSCOT Fans Who Prove Bald = Bold
Stanley Tucci
Effortlessly elegant, Stanley Tucci often sports our VILDA or MILTZEN frames – rounded silhouettes that lend intellectual sophistication. He’s proof that round glasses can be incredibly stylish on a bald head, especially when paired with sharp tailoring or a crisp collar.
Morris Chestnut
Known for his clean, classic style, Chestnut wears rectangular shapes like The FRITZ. His strong jawline and shaved head pair perfectly with angular frames, providing symmetry and polish.
Mahershala Ali
Ali is a masterclass in quiet luxury. Often seen in The MILTZEN or KUGEL, he brings vintage cool to the modern red carpet. The combination of round frames and carefully groomed facial hair makes for a powerful yet approachable presence.
Joe Bastianich
The LEMTOSH is Bastianich's go-to. Bold yet timeless, it gives structure to his face while maintaining a refined, creative edge. If you have a beard and a bald head, this combo creates instant balance and distinction.
The Best MOSCOT Frames for Bald Men
The LEMTOSH
Best for: Timeless versatility
This MOSCOT icon is beloved for a reason. The LEMTOSH's rounded shape and keyhole bridge soften angular features and add character to a bald head. Available in multiple sizes and colors, it's a staple for men who want classic cool.
MOSCOT is a five generation family-owned New York City heritage eyewear brand with over 100 years of eyewear expertise. The LEMTOSH stands the test of time with its iconic design and continues to uphold a legacy of its own. This rounder classic has served as the calling card for generations of creative, thoughtful, free-spirited intellectuals, artistes, and auteurs.
The MILTZEN
Best for: Vintage-inspired minimalists
This thinner, perfectly round frame exudes retro charm. Pair it with a beard or go clean-shaven – either way, The MILTZEN adds personality without overpowering your features.
The round, full-vue MILTZEN, first introduced in the 1930s, is eponymously named for our Uncle Heshy, who inexplicably everyone called Uncle Miltzen. And it stuck. So there you go, world… The MILTZEN.
The DOV
Best for: Sleek minimalism
This low-profile frame delivers clean lines and lightweight comfort. Ideal for men with rounder faces, The DOV brings quiet confidence and architectural edge.
Dr. Louis Rosenfeld, of the Lower East Side Rosenfelds, earned his medical degree in Vienna, but returned home to give back to his neighbors, dispensing medical care for two dollars a pop. He was never fond of his neighborhood appellation, “Two Dollar Lou,” so he was greatly relieved when Great Great Grandpa Hyman anointed him “Little Dov” instead. This one’s for you, Doc…
The DAHVEN
Best for: Strong definition
Angular, modern, and slightly oversized, The DAHVEN is a favorite for adding contrast to soft or rounded heads. Its square shape flatters oval and round faces by providing visual weight and structure.
No need to pray for a sunny day with these iconic frames! Crafted from thick block acetate in rich tonal hues, The DAHVEN brings good fortune – and good looks – wherever you take it.
The FRANKIE
Best for: Creative professionals
A hybrid of square and round shapes, The FRANKIE feels tailored and modern. Available in bold hues like Cinnamon and Tortoise, it complements skin tone while enhancing your everyday style.
With subtle clean lines, and a full-vue shape, The FRANKIE is the epitome of cool, just like our own Frank, aka, Frankie, who has manned the MOSCOT counter for over 40 years and counting. An iconic frame for an iconic man…and a true MOSCOT character.
The VILDA
Best for: Statement-makers
With its thick acetate and squared silhouette, The VILDA is bold without being brash. It balances rounder features and adds depth – especially great for men with facial hair.
Pure FDR style that enters the room before you do. Worn by strong, industrial, bold individuals who know how to keep it cool.
The GRUNYA
Best for: Rounder faces
This oversized, angular frame helps create balance for round or oval heads. If you’re after strong definition with a sophisticated edge, this is it.
Can’t decide between The NEBB, LEMTOSH, and MILTZEN? Stop trying. The GRUNYA is an amalgamation of all three and simply put, it rocks.
The KUGEL
Best for: Vintage lovers
The KUGEL brings classic round styling with a modern fit. Think Stanley Tucci vibes with all-day wearability. It’s lightweight, polished, and perfect for minimal wardrobes.
Sol (2nd Generation) used to sneak out for lunch at Ratners, where its manager Abe meticulously reviewed each customer’s receipt. A nod to the famed eatery’s specialty and Abe’s specs, The KUGEL combines tasteful metal edges and delightful acetate curves, bringing a whole new flavor to the Lower East Side.

Darker skin: Matte Black, Olive, and Havana add rich contrast.
Personal Style
Refined classic: The LEMTOSH, MILTZEN, or DOV

Bald & Bearded? Here’s the Best Glasses Combo
Full beard: Thick frames like The VILDA or LEMTOSH create proportion.
