Can Men Wear Colored Contacts?

Updated Feb 2024

Well, here’s the simple answer - Do men have eyes? Of course they do! So, can men wear colored contact lenses? Yes! Of course they can!

But Should They?

Well, there is a question with a bit more complicated answer. It really depends on who you ask. There are a few stereotypes you may have heard about man who wear colored contact lenses, either as a bit of an upgrade to go along with their vision correction or purely as an accessory. Here are some assumptions people may make of guys who wear contact lenses with color.

  • He's Gay- For some reason, colored contact lenses are considered a female accessory. Some even equate them to other mainly-female fashion statements such as dangly earrings or sparkly nail polish. However, this is also an assumption common among trends of the metro-sexual male, characterized as taking pride in his appearance and making sacrifices and changes to improve it.
  • He’s Insecure - Wearing colored contacts as a way to improve one’s look is considered an accessory or a beauty enhancement product among women. However, when men take an interest in using the same product, it has been associated with insecurity. By that token, is any woman wearing eyeliner or mascara equally insecure? Is wanting to look great for a date - or even a day at work or school really so bad?
  • He’s addicted to Kpop - Korean pop is receiving increasing attention, and some superfans, in an effort to look like the latest Asian stars, subscribe to new colored contact trends.

Harsh! Well, I would say that if he’s willing to battle all of those stereotypes and the negative hype to enjoy an eye color adjustment, gay Kpop addict or not, that shows a pretty healthy level of confidence. Which rules out “He’s Insecure,” does it not?

How Can You Look Your Sexiest in Colored Contact Lenses?

You don’t have to be a superhero, or an Asian pop star, to look great in colored contact lenses. And we are here to help you pull it off! We have a few general rules of thumb for you.

  • Choose a Color: For the most part, we recommend that you go for realistic colors, unless you’re shopping for a great cosplay look (we’ve got you covered there, too!) We have several natural tones to explore, from brilliant browns and gorgeous greys to graceful green! Or - if you dare - try a beautiful blue!
  • Consider Lens Diameter: Colored contact lenses come in a variety of graphic lens diameters (size of the printed portion of the lens). And each serves a purpose of it’s own. Larger diameters create the illusion of larger irises, which are associated with wide-eyed innocence. For men, we recommend an average or smaller than average lens diameter. Look for a lens with a graphic diameter of 14.0mm or lower. These give you a more realistic look.

Bottom line, if you are looking to change your eye color, you can pull it off - we believe in you! You just have to have the confidence to brush aside the assumptions of the haters! Just stick to our simple hints and you’ll enjoy a sexy new look in just minutes!
