Rimless Sunglasses
Rimless sunglasses combine maximum visibility with an ultra-light construction. They are this year's hit for fans of clean lines: less "noise," and more style and comfort. Discover bestsellers, choose your lens shape, and create your invisible signature look.
What are the advantages of rimless sunglasses?
Rimless sunglasses offer many benefits:
- Ideal for people who prefer modern minimalism and value comfort.
- Their lightness and subtle construction mean you barely feel them on your nose.
- The absence of frames increases your field of vision, allowing you to look around more freely – this is great while driving or reading a book on the beach.
- Excellent for a variety of stylizations, from casual to more elegant.
What should you remember when choosing rimless sunglasses?
Rimless glasses have some drawbacks that are worth considering before purchasing:
- Lower impact resistance – the lack of a full frame means a greater risk of chipping the lens edges (especially if dropped).
- Visible lens edge – with higher prescriptions, thicker lens edges are more noticeable.
- Less protection from wind/dust – the "open" bottom and sides offer less protection for your eyes from sand and dust, which can be particularly troublesome during hiking, sailing, or cycling. Rimless glasses let in too much light/wind from the sides.
How to choose rimless sunglasses to match your face shape and features?
Choosing rimless sunglasses that suit your face shape requires considering a few important factors.
- Round face – Rectangular or square models are the best solution, adding definition and balancing proportions, giving the face a more defined look.
- Square face – Rounded shapes will be more beneficial, softening sharp features.
- Oval face – Panto/gently rectangular lenses of medium height. Standard bridge, without extremes. Avoid extremes (mega-narrow or very high lenses).
- Heart-shaped face – Rimless glasses will also work here, but with an accent at the top. A delicate double bridge or a subtler bridge, panto/roundish shape – these will balance a wide forehead and a narrower lower face. Don't choose very narrow, "cat-eye" glasses (they pull the upper part of the face up too much).
- Slim/narrow face – Avoid very small and ultra-low glasses – they optically narrow the face. Lenses that are slightly wider than standard, medium height, and a narrower bridge for a good fit will be better.
- Fuller face – Remember moderation. Medium or slightly larger panto or rectangular shapes. Avoid oversized glasses that extend beyond the cheekbones – rimless then lose stability and enlarge the face.
