DESCRIPTION RATINGS & REVIEWS PRESCRIPTION GUIDE

The Draper James DJ5027 Eyeglasses bring Southern charm and contemporary style together in a versatile rectangle frame designed for women who appreciate both fashion and function. Founded by actress Reese Witherspoon and named after her grandparents, Draper James translates the brand's signature preppy American aesthetic into eyewear that's as practical as it is pretty.

These full-rim frames are made from premium cellulose acetate, a plant-based material that offers real advantages over standard plastic. Acetate is hypoallergenic, so it won't irritate sensitive skin during all-day wear. It's also lightweight and flexible, reducing pressure on your nose and ears while maintaining durability that stands up to daily use. The material allows for rich, embedded colors that won't fade over time—you'll see this in the crystal-clear translucent option, the classic tortoise, and the soft blue crystal finish.

What sets the DJ5027 apart is the decorative temple detail. Look closely at the arms and you'll spot delicate floral and geometric patterns in teal and coral tones—a signature Draper James touch inspired by Southern gardens and magnolia blooms. The brand name is subtly engraved on the metal temple inlay, adding a refined finish without being flashy.

The rectangle shape works well for round and oval face shapes, adding definition and structure. Available in two sizes (54mm and 56mm lens width), the DJ5027 accommodates different face widths and prescription needs. The full-rim construction provides excellent lens security and makes these frames compatible with single-vision, bifocal, and progressive lenses—ideal if you need multifocal correction for reading and distance vision.

These frames are prescription-ready right out of the box. Simply take them to your optician or order custom lenses online. The acetate construction is sturdy enough to handle higher prescription strengths without compromising the frame's integrity, and the 16mm bridge and generous lens height (approximately 40mm) provide ample space for progressive lens corridors.

Draper James eyewear is manufactured by Altair Eyewear and falls into the brand's "Charming Classics" category—frames that blend vintage-inspired shapes with modern details and seasonal prints. At this price point, you're getting quality materials, thoughtful design, and a style that transitions easily from the office to weekend errands.

Frequently Asked Questions

Are the Draper James DJ5027 eyeglasses prescription-ready?

Yes, the DJ5027 frames are fully prescription-ready and compatible with single-vision, bifocal, and progressive lenses. The full-rim acetate construction provides secure lens mounting, and the frame dimensions (54mm or 56mm lens width, 16mm bridge, 40mm lens height) offer enough vertical space for progressive lens corridors. Simply provide your prescription to your optician or when ordering online.

What is acetate and why is it better than regular plastic frames?

Acetate is a plant-based material made from cotton and wood pulp that offers several advantages over standard plastic. It's hypoallergenic (won't irritate sensitive skin), more durable and flexible, lightweight for all-day comfort, and allows for vibrant embedded colors that don't fade. Acetate frames are also suitable for nearly all prescription strengths and are considered a premium material in eyewear.

What face shapes work best with rectangle eyeglasses?

Rectangle frames like the DJ5027 are particularly flattering on round and oval face shapes, as they add definition and angular contrast. They can also work for heart-shaped faces. The key is that the frame width should be proportional to your face width—the DJ5027 comes in both 54mm and 56mm lens widths to accommodate different face sizes.

What sizes are available for the Draper James DJ5027?

The DJ5027 is available in two sizes: 54mm and 56mm lens width. The 54mm size has a 16mm bridge and 135mm temples, while the 56mm size has a 16mm bridge and 140mm temples. To find your size, check the inside of your current glasses—the measurements are usually printed on the temple arm in the format: lens width-bridge width-temple length.

Who makes Draper James eyewear?

Draper James eyewear is manufactured by Altair Eyewear. The brand was established in 2013 by actress Reese Witherspoon and is named after her grandparents, Dorothea Draper and William James Witherspoon. The eyewear collection reflects the brand's Southern-inspired, preppy American aesthetic with feminine details like floral prints and signature patterns.

Can I use these frames for progressive or bifocal lenses?

Absolutely. The DJ5027's full-rim design and lens dimensions make it well-suited for both bifocal and progressive lenses. The lens height of approximately 40mm provides adequate vertical space for the different viewing zones in progressive lenses, and the sturdy acetate construction securely holds multifocal lenses. Many customers successfully use these frames for progressive prescriptions.

Draper James DJ5027 vs. Similar Styles

If you're drawn to the Draper James DJ5027's Southern charm and rectangle shape, you might also be considering other options in the same style family. Here's how the DJ5027 compares to similar frames in our collection.

DJ5027 vs. Draper James DJ5000

Both the DJ5027 and DJ5000 are rectangle acetate frames from Draper James in the same price range ($38-$108). They share the brand's signature preppy aesthetic and quality construction. The main difference lies in the temple details and available colors. The DJ5027 features distinctive floral and geometric patterns on the temples in teal and coral tones, while the DJ5000 may offer different decorative elements. If you love the Draper James brand but want to compare temple styles, these two models are your best bet. Both are prescription-ready and work well with progressive lenses.

DJ5027 vs. Draper James DJ5023

The DJ5023 is another rectangle option from Draper James, priced slightly higher at $99-$138. Like the DJ5027, it features acetate construction and the brand's Southern-inspired design philosophy. The DJ5023 may offer different color options and sizing, so if the DJ5027's dimensions don't quite fit or you're looking for a different color palette, the DJ5023 is worth exploring. Both frames deliver the same quality and prescription versatility.

DJ5027 vs. Lilly Pulitzer HAYLEY

For customers who appreciate the preppy, feminine aesthetic of Draper James, Lilly Pulitzer's HAYLEY eyeglasses ($93.85) offer a similar vibe with a different brand personality. Both brands are known for Southern-inspired style, vibrant colors, and signature patterns. Lilly Pulitzer tends toward brighter, more tropical prints, while Draper James leans into classic florals and magnolia motifs. If you're choosing between the two, consider whether you prefer Reese Witherspoon's refined Southern charm (Draper James) or Lilly Pulitzer's Palm Beach exuberance.

Why choose the DJ5027? The DJ5027 hits a sweet spot: it's affordable, versatile, and features those distinctive floral temple details that make it instantly recognizable as Draper James. The acetate construction ensures comfort and durability, and the rectangle shape is universally flattering. With two size options and three color choices, it's easy to find your perfect match.
