Flexon W3020 vs Similar Women's Frames
If you're considering the W3020, you're likely drawn to Flexon's memory metal technology and the cat-eye shape. Here's how it compares to other frames in our Flexon women's collection.
W3020 vs W3012: Size and Temple Style
The Flexon W3012 is the W3020's closest sibling. Both feature the same memory metal bridge and cat-eye shape, but the W3012 has a narrower 17mm bridge (vs 21mm on the W3020) and plastic injected temples with decorative detailing. If you have a narrower nose or prefer a slightly smaller frame, the W3012 is worth considering. However, the W3020's larger lens height makes it better for progressive lenses, and the wider bridge fits more face shapes comfortably. Both start at the same price.
W3020 vs W3035: Premium Alternative
The Flexon W3035 offers similar women's styling with memory metal technology but at a higher price point ($109.54-$116.31). The W3035 has a 17mm bridge and different frame geometry. Choose the W3020 if you want the best value and a wider bridge fit; consider the W3035 if you prefer its specific color options (Gold, Plum) and don't mind the premium.
W3020 vs 635: Cat-Eye vs Oval
If you like Flexon's durability but aren't sure about the cat-eye shape, the Flexon 635 offers an oval alternative. The 635 is more universally flattering and has a classic look, while the W3020's cat-eye adds definition and a fashion-forward edge. For round or square faces that benefit from the structure a cat-eye provides, stick with the W3020. For heart or oval faces that don't need as much angularity, the 635 is a softer option.
Bottom line: The W3020 offers the best combination of cat-eye style, progressive-lens compatibility, and value in Flexon's women's collection. Its 21mm bridge fits more people comfortably than narrower alternatives, and the 41mm lens height gives you flexibility for any prescription type.
