Half Frame Glasses

Half frame glasses, also known as semi rimless glasses, are a popular eyewear option for those who want a subtle and sleek look. Half Rim glasses have a thin frame around the top half of the lens, with the bottom half being rimless. This allows for a more open and unobstructed view, making them a great choice for folks with a wide face or anyone prefering a more minimalist look.

One of the main advantages of half frame glasses is that they are lightweight and comfortable to wear. The thin frame design allows for a more comfortable fit. They are also easier to clean and maintain, as the lack of a full frame means there are fewer nooks and crannies for dirt and grime to accumulate.

In terms of style, semi rimless glasses can be dressed up or down depending on the occasion. They work well with both fancy and casual clothing.

Semi rimless glasses date back to the 1920’s when they were generally made in gold color and came to replace fully rimless glasses which were much weaker in structure.

Half frame glasses are available in most colors and are generally made of metal. They are more often than not rectangular in shape.
