Full-rim glasses frames
Sturdy and timelessly stylish, full rim frames are the go-to frame for most people shopping for glasses. Since the frame material goes all the way around your lenses, this is a great stylish option with extra durability and are the best choice to support thicker lenses.
Rimless glasses frames
Rimless glasses are a popular pick for minimalists, or anyone who wants a clean and barely-there look to their glasses frames. This type of frame is perfect for anyone who wants an understated look that's effortless to style for everyday wear.
Semi-rimless glasses frames
Semi-rimless glasses strike the perfect balance between rimless, and full-rimmed frames. They feature features a frame that covers only the top part of the lenses, giving it a sophisticated and suave look. From browline glasses to rounded half-frames - we have it all!
Lightweight glasses frames
Tired of glasses that rub your nose and leave marks? Lightweight glasses put far less pressure on your face and look fantastic. These frames are so light that youโll forget youโre wearing them! From wireframe to titanium, we have a whole range of different lightweight glasses in many shapes and styles.
Low bridge glasses frames
Low bridge glasses were made specially for those of us with lower nose bridges. If you've struggled to find glasses that don't slide down your nose - try out our stylish range of low bridge glasses - some with adjustable nose pads, or just larger nose pads.
Large glasses frames
Some of us need larger sized glasses to fit and flatter our larger heads. The good news is, large glasses come in an abundance of designs in every shape, material, and color imaginable. Take a look.
Small glasses frames
Small glasses come in all shapes, but small round and oval frames are particularly popular. Small glasses are a great option if you like subtle frames that don't overtake your face. Channel your inner John Lennon, Hadid sister or Rihanna with your favorite take on small glasses today.

Frequently asked questions
What are the different types of glasses frames?
Which type of frame is best for glasses?
The best frame for glasses can depend on a lot of factors – including your visual needs, lifestyle, personal style, and facial proportions. Your prescription strength often affects the thickness of your lenses, which can in turn determine whether you should get fully rimmed frames (which tend to hold thicker lenses better). If you do a lot of sports or active activities, you may prefer fully-rimmed or lightweight frames. If you have a low nose bridge, small face, or large face – you can usually find glasses that cater towards this.
How do I choose a frame type?
A good place to start is to consider your facial proportions – do you have any specific needs like a low nose bridge, or a face that’s significantly smaller or larger than average? If so, you can look for glasses that cater specifically to this. Choosing the type of rims for your glasses (e.g. fully rimmed or rimless) is often a matter of personal taste, but bear in mind that full rimmed glasses tend to be more durable and hardy and are a better choice for thick lenses from high prescriptions.
What type of frames are in style?
Some frames have never truly gone out of style and have been a classic silhouette throughout the ages – such as rectangular, aviator, tortoiseshell, cat eye, tortoiseshell. Some people opt for these in full-rimmed variations, whilst others may prefer the more minimalist vibe offered by a semi-rimless or rimless variation.
