Cutler and Gross 9891 Rectangle Sunglasses

One colourway, one shape, no distractions. The 9891 Rectangle Sunglasses in Crystal use clear acetate to strip the frame back to its lines, which puts every bit of the emphasis on the rectangular geometry rather than on colour.

Those lines are broad. Each lens spans 56mm across, and that lens width gives a wide, flat frame with strong horizontals and plenty of coverage. It suits medium to wider faces, and it is a particularly good counterweight to round or soft features.

Clear frames also carry the practical advantage of going with absolutely everything, which is not something you can say about most sunglasses at this level. They are quietly versatile in a way that a bold colour never is.
