Rhubarb or Brooklyn Blue: the Cutler and Gross 1241 gives you two colourways and neither of them is timid. One leans warm and pink-toned, the other cool and saturated, and both make the most of a cat eye front that lifts at the outer corners.
The lens width is 52mm, the distance measured across a single lens. That is a middle-of-the-road figure, comfortable on most faces and a sensible choice if you are unsure where you sit between small and large frames. The upswept cat eye adds height at the temples and flatters rounder and squarer face shapes alike.
Acetate, handcrafted by a British eyewear house with a long-standing reputation for doing exactly that.
Prescription lenses are glazed and fitted before dispatch. Next Level Optical is an authorised Cutler and Gross dealer.
