What are rimless glasses?

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

The lenses are usually perforated at both ends to attach to the bridge and temples. In addition, they have a very smooth texture all around the outer perimeter and provide a barrier-free view on the sides.

The frame of the air glasses is simple and minimalist, so they are light enough to wear all day long. The frame material is usually metal and many are made of titanium, which ensures higher quality, durability and strength.

Why are rimless glasses in fashion?

Rimless glasses have become a trend because of their light, fresh and jovial appearance. They are the ideal accessory to accompany any look without detracting from your outfit. In addition, as they have no perceptible frame, they give prominence to the eyes and highlight the natural features of the face.

Recently, the air glasses have been popularized by the famous singer Rita Ora, who modeled them for the luxury brand Silhouette in 2022. This brand's campaign confirms that rimless glasses go with anything. And by turning up the intensity of the colors of the lenses, they even become very striking.

On the other hand, rimless prescription glasses are a favorite among people who are just starting out in the world of eyewear. The reason is that they are almost imperceptible, super-light and do not cause blockage of vision, 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. Know some advantages of wearing this style of glasses:

• First of all, you will enjoy an almost panoramic view, especially if you decide to wear wide lenses.

• As the frame is not an impediment, you can ask your optician for certain adjustments in the shape or size of the lenses.

• If you love to wear makeup, these are the perfect glasses to show it off, since they leave all the attention to the eyes.

• 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 will last a long time.
