Editors’ Pick: Our Top 10 Favorite Warby Parker Frames
For those of us who wear glasses, gone are the days of settling for bulky, uncomfortable frames. These days, glasses are expected to complement your personality without sacrificing their functionality or hijacking your style. When navigating their gallery, it’s evident that Warby Parker understands that one frame does not in fact fit all. They have something for everyone for every look. Whether you’re looking to revamp your style, pick up a pair for a special occasion, or just find a new tried-and-true standby, Warby Parker’s got you covered. Best part is: They’ll send you five pairs of your choosing to try on at home for five days—for free.
It was nearly impossible to narrow down to a list of ten, but we did it. We selected our favorite frames available for Home Try-On. Scroll down to see our top picks!
1. Louise in Birch Tortoise
These retro-inspired cat-eye glasses might remind you of your old Aunt Myrtle—the one who wore the same white cat-eyed frames with polka-dotted shift dresses from the early ’70s until she turned 90—but in the best, most stylish way possible. If you like a refined look, this shape is fantastic choice.
2. Eugene Narrow in Rose Crystal
Clear glasses have been around awhile. People love them because they look almost invisible from afar and complement a nice, minimalist look. The Eugene Narrow frame is round and perfectly proportioned for smaller faces—if you don’t like your glasses taking over your face, this might be the perfect fit. (The subtle pink tint gives them a little something extra.)
3. Baker in Striped Sassafras
The Baker frame has a classic keyhole bridge with round lenses, and this Striped Sassafras color is a subtle way to liven things up—perfect for completing a more put-together look.
4. Percey in Striped Sassafras
Percey looks a lot like Baker on first glance. They’re both round, medium-width frames with keyhole bridges, and they both even come in Striped Sassafras—but it’s the small details that make all the difference: Percey’s lenses are more circular and its end pieces aren’t quite as pointed. These distinctions make Percey a slightly more easygoing option.
5. Wilkie in Black Matte Eclipse
Known for flattering almost any face, Wilkieis a good choice for the everyday guy or girl who doesn’t like to fuss too much about fashion. The Black Matte Eclipse version of the frames have a thin white border wrapped around the front. Nothing too crazy—just a couple extra style points.
6. Welty in Whiskey Tortoise
Weltyis a modern take on a classic shape. Made from premium cellulose acetate (like all of Warby Parker’s non-metal frames), the frame has a curved browline and an eye-catching keyhole bridge. Think Nancy Drew: the childhood idol who made it cool to be a nerd. These frames are larger than some, but not so big that they dominate your face.
7. Watts in Sugar Maple Fade
Wattslooks and feels effortless. Accessories have the ability to make or break an entire look: When it comes to our eyewear, we want to complement outfits, not distract or detract from them. These sleek frames do precisely that.
8. Daisy in Jet Black
This pair’s design is timeless. The Daisy is an artful take on the classic cat-eye with thin eyewires and a sloping browline. Wear them with a little black dress or pair them with a clean-cut business suit. You decide. These ageless frames will only add to your elegant and modern style.
9. Hardy in Striped Pacific
Blue is not a color you see all that often in eyeglasses, but looking at Hardy in Striped Pacific, you have to wonder why. It’s a straightforward, rectangular frame, but this oceanic hue makes it pretty striking.
10. Wilkie in Eastern Bluebird Fade
Yes, we’re repeating The Wilkie! We just like it that much. This Eastern Bluebird Fade color combines tortoise on top with a cool, translucent blue on the bottom. The contrast makes them feel current, but the neutral tones keep the frame compatible with virtually any ensemble.
If you want to see even more options (there are lots), or you’re just not sure what frames you want to try on at home for free, you can get personalized recs from Warby Parker by taking their quick, fun quiz.
