Two Rectangular Frames, Two Different Vibes
If you're after a rectangular eyeglass frame, the Dusk Rimless Rectangular and Side Eye Rectangular are both strong contenders—but they serve different looks and fit preferences. The Dusk brings back the minimalist Y2K aesthetic with a rimless design, while the Side Eye channels 90s minimalism with a structured full frame. Here's how to decide which one suits your face shape, style, and daily wear needs.
Frame Specs at a Glance
- Dusk Rimless Rectangular: Dusk Rimless Rectangular: 54mm lens width, 17mm bridge, 145mm temple length. Medium fit. Compatible with oval and round face shapes. The rimless design creates a barely-there feel, and the measurements suit medium-sized faces best.
Dusk Rimless Rectangular - Side Eye Rectangular: Side Eye Rectangular: 52mm lens width, 19mm bridge, 145mm temple length. Medium fit. Fits round and oval face shapes. Made from ultra-lightweight TR material. The slightly narrower lens and wider bridge may suit narrower faces, and TR material adds flexibility and durability.
Side Eye Rectangular
Face Shape Compatibility
Both frames are designed for medium fit and suit oval and round face shapes. The Dusk's rimless construction softens the look, while the Side Eye's sharp angles add definition and balance, according to the catalog. If you have a round face and want more structure, the Side Eye's full frame may give you that angular contrast. For oval faces, both work well—the choice comes down to how much frame you want to see.
- Dusk Rimless Rectangular: Rimless design, rounded rectangular lens. Best for oval and round faces. Lightweight, barely-there feel.
- Side Eye Rectangular: Full frame, structured rectangular silhouette. Best for round and oval faces. Adds definition and a polished look.
Style and Material
The Dusk is all about understated sophistication with a nostalgic Y2K twist. It's rimless, which means less visual weight on your face. The Side Eye, on the other hand, is a full frame made from TR material—ultra-lightweight and flexible for all-day comfort. It comes in bolder color options like Black, Tortoiseshell, Green Tea, and Purple, while the Dusk is available in Rose Gold with various lens options including Blush Tint, Blue Light Blocking, and Polarized Sunglasses.
- Dusk Rimless Rectangular: Rimless, lightweight, ultra-chic. Available in Rose Gold. Lens options include standard, tinted, blue light blocking, photochromic, and polarized.
- Side Eye Rectangular: Full frame, TR material. Colors: Black, Tortoiseshell, Green Tea, Purple. Lens options include standard, blue light blocking, photochromic, and polarized.
Prescription and Lens Index Options
Both frames offer multiple lens index options to match your prescription. The Dusk supports 1.61 index for SPH -/+2.25 to -/+4.00 and 1.67 index for SPH -/+4.25 to -/+5.75. The Side Eye supports 1.56 index for SPH 0.00 to -/+2.00 and 1.61 index for SPH -/+2.25 to -/+4.00. If you have a stronger prescription, the Dusk's higher index option may provide thinner lenses. The Side Eye's catalog does not confirm a 1.67 index option, so check your prescription strength before choosing.
Which One Should You Choose?
Pick the Dusk Rimless Rectangular if you want a lightweight, barely-there frame with a nostalgic Y2K vibe and don't mind a rimless look. It's great for oval and round faces and offers more lens index options for higher prescriptions. Choose the Side Eye Rectangular if you prefer a structured full frame with bold color choices, made from flexible TR material, and your prescription falls within the lower to moderate range. Both are medium fit, so measure your current frames if you're unsure about size.
