Retro half frames that bring effortless style
A 1950s throwback to the golden age of travel, these retro-styled half frames are stylish and eye-catching. Versatile and lightweight with premium metal details, the Avila will take you from dusty, historic city streets to pristine tropical beaches and anywhere in between – including adventures in the great outdoors. That’s because, unlike more traditional versions of the classic half-rimmed style, these have no awkward nose pads to bend, break off or get caught in your hair. A unisex style that looks great on both guys and gals, this midsize frame offers moderate coverage that works well for small to medium faces.
