The best new alternatives to your old favourite frames

30 Jan 2023

Are you struggling to find a pair of glasses you love? Perhaps you really like a certain pair that you or someone else purchased from us before but that is no longer available. At Glasses Direct, we are constantly refreshing our product range and striving to offer a more diverse and trendy collection. This may mean that some of your old favourite frames are no longer in stock and you cannot find them on our website – but fear not, there will always be another new frame that is just as suitable, if not better! The handy filters on our website make it easier to narrow down your search and find exactly the style of glasses you are looking for. To help you out a little, we have brought together some of our most popular older frames and suggested a stylish new alternative that is almost identical in design, colour and shape.

Knox –> Digby

Sleek and sophisticated, Digby makes an ideal alternative to our popular Knox frame. It has a clean-cut appearance and is crafted from durable metal with a smooth matte finish. The medium-sized rectangular shape is very traditional and will complement your everyday wardrobe as well as your professional style. It has adjustable nose pads, plastic temple tips and sprung hinges, promising a tailored and comfortable all-day fit. Plus, as part of our 2-for-1 range, you can also select a second frame and get it completely free with this one!

Cowboy –> Colby

Colby has a classic retro-inspired design. This Aviator-style piece makes an excellent alternative to our Cowboy frame. Though slightly larger, it features the classic double-bar bridge which gives this frame an old-school cool vibe. The sleek and lightweight metal of the design, adjustable nose pads and plastic temple tips ensure a secure, comfortable fit. It has a subtle matte finish that completes the look perfectly. This frame is also available in our 2-for-1 range.

Robin –> Dario

Stylishly understated, Dario is a classic rectangular frame with a confident and trendy look. Suitable for every occasion, it has a subtle design and is crafted from sturdy plastic. It makes the perfect alternative to our Robin frame and has a very traditional style.

Solo 580 –> Drew

Drew has a unique rectangular silhouette with winged corners similar in style to our Solo 580 Wayfarer frame. Crafted from sleek acetate, it has a stylish, professional appearance. The small size of the frame gives it a subtlety that will shape your features well and not outshine the rest of your outfit!
