The material of your glasses plays a big role in how they feel: comfort, weight, flexibility, and even personal style all start with the frame. This simple guide walks through the three materials we typically uses — acetate, TR90, and stainless steel — so you can easily understand what makes each one unique.

Frame material affects how your glasses sit on your face, how they move with you, and how they hold up over time. Acetate is known for its depth of colour and refined finish; TR90 is ultra-light and flexible; stainless steel is thin, sleek, and adjustable.

Material also shapes your experience:

• Whether the frame feels light or substantial
  
• How well it adapts to your nose and ears
  
• How durable and stable it stays with everyday use
  
• The visual style you want — bold, minimal, or in-between
  

Understanding these basics makes it much easier to choose the frame that fits your habits and personal style.

Once you know whether you prefer the premium feel of acetate, the feather-light comfort of TR90, or the minimalist look of stainless steel, finding the right pair becomes simple. Each material brings its own personality — and we offers all three across a wide range of designs.

Your ideal frame material comes down to how you use your glasses each day. If you want a premium, stylish feel, acetate is a strong choice. For effortless comfort during long reading or screen sessions, TR90 excels. Stainless steel offers a thin, elegant look with adjustable nose pads for a personalised fit.

There’s no right or wrong — just what feels natural to you. The best frame is the one you forget you’re wearing.
