What are rimless glasses?

Rimless glasses are a style of glasses that give the impression that the lenses are suspended in the air . This is because they do not have a frame surrounding the lenses, which is why they are also known as rimless glasses or rimless glasses.

Typically, lenses are perforated at both ends to attach to the bridge and temples. They also have a very smooth texture around the entire outer perimeter and provide a barrier-free view at the sides.

The frame of rimless glasses is simple and minimalist , so they are light enough to wear all day long. The frame material is usually metallic and many are made of titanium, which guarantees greater quality, durability and resistance.

Why are rimless glasses fashionable?

Rimless glasses have become a trend due to their light, fresh and youthful appearance . They are the ideal accessory to accompany all looks without taking away from the outfit. In addition, by not having a perceptible frame, they give prominence to the look and highlight the natural features of the face.

Rimless glasses have recently been popularised by the famous singer Rita Ora , who modelled them for the luxury eyewear brand Silhouette in 2022. The brand's campaign confirms that rimless glasses go with anything. And by increasing the intensity of the colours of the lenses, they can even become very eye-catching.

On the other hand, rimless prescription glasses are the favorites of people who are new to the world of glasses . The reason is that they are almost imperceptible, super light and do not cause vision blockages, so it is very easy to get used to them.

Advantages of wearing rimless glasses

Simplicity has its benefits and in the case of rimless glasses we can list several. Learn some advantages of using this style of glasses:

  • First of all, you will enjoy an almost panoramic view , especially if you decide to use large lenses.
  • Since the frame is not an impediment, you can ask your trusted optician for certain adjustments to the shape or size of the lenses.
  • If you love wearing makeup, these are the perfect glasses to show it off, as they let your eyes take center stage .
  • Finally, lightness is one of the great strengths of rimless glasses. By choosing the model that fits you perfectly, you will not feel discomfort during long days of work or study.

We suggest you opt for high-strength materials, such as titanium, when choosing your rimless glasses . This will ensure that your glasses last a long time.
