DESCRIPTION RATINGS & REVIEWS PRESCRIPTION GUIDE

The Elle EL13398 eyeglasses bring Parisian-inspired style to your everyday eyewear with a clean rectangle shape and full-rim acetate construction. Designed for women who want frames that balance professionalism with personality, this model comes in four distinctive colors—Brown, Turquoise, Red, and Black—each featuring subtle pattern details on the inner temples that add a playful touch without overwhelming the design.

Premium Acetate Construction

These frames are made from cellulose acetate, a plant-based material prized in quality eyewear for good reasons. Acetate is hypoallergenic, so it's gentle on sensitive skin during all-day wear. It's also more durable and flexible than standard plastic, holding its shape well over time while remaining lightweight and comfortable. The material allows for rich, saturated colors and the kind of smooth finish that feels polished in your hands. The slim temples curve gently inward for stability behind the ears, with textured tips that provide added grip.

Fit and Versatility

With a 53mm lens width, 15mm bridge, and 135mm temples, the EL13398 fits most medium-width faces comfortably. The rectangle shape is especially flattering on round or oval face shapes, where the straighter lines add definition and visual balance. These frames are prescription-ready, compatible with single-vision, progressive, and bifocal lenses, making them a practical choice whether you need distance correction, reading support, or multifocal functionality.

Elle eyewear reflects the brand's heritage—founded in 1945 by journalist Hélène Lazareff in post-war Paris, Elle magazine has always championed accessible fashion with a modern, independent spirit. That same philosophy carries into the eyewear collection: contemporary optical design at an approachable price point, built with quality materials and thoughtful details. The EL13398 is a solid example—versatile enough for the office, distinctive enough to feel like your own.

Frequently Asked Questions

Are the Elle EL13398 eyeglasses prescription-ready?

Yes, the Elle EL13398 frames are fully prescription-ready and compatible with single-vision, bifocal, and progressive lenses. The 53mm lens width and full-rim design provide ample space for most prescription strengths, and the frames can be fitted with your custom lenses by a licensed optician.

What size face do 53mm eyeglasses fit?

The Elle EL13398 has a 53mm lens width, which is considered a medium or standard size that fits most average-width faces comfortably. This size works well for both women and men with medium facial proportions. If you currently wear glasses, check the measurements printed on your temple arms—if they're close to 53-15-135, this frame should fit similarly.

What face shapes look best in rectangle eyeglasses?

Rectangle eyeglasses like the Elle EL13398 are particularly flattering on round or oval face shapes because the straighter frame lines add definition and visual structure. The angular shape helps balance softer facial curves and can make round faces appear more striking and defined. They also work well for those seeking a professional, polished look.

Are acetate eyeglass frames durable?

Yes, acetate frames like the Elle EL13398 are more durable than regular plastic frames. Acetate is a plant-based cellulose material that's lightweight, flexible, and resistant to temperature changes, helping the frames maintain their shape over time. The material is also hypoallergenic and comfortable for extended wear, making it a popular choice for quality eyewear.

What comes with Elle eyeglasses when I order them?

Elle EL13398 eyeglasses are authentic designer eyewear manufactured by Charmant USA and come complete with a matching protective case and microfiber cleaning cloth. Elle eyewear also carries a one-year manufacturer's warranty. The frames include demo lenses that can be replaced with your prescription lenses.

How do I know if these frames will fit me?

Check the measurements printed inside your current glasses (usually on the temple arm). The Elle EL13398 measures 53mm (lens width) - 15mm (bridge) - 135mm (temple length). If your current frames are within 1-2mm of these numbers, the EL13398 should fit similarly. The frame width should not exceed your face width, and the lenses should not touch your cheeks when you smile.

Elle EL13398 vs. Similar Elle Eyeglasses

Why Choose the EL13398?

The EL13398 stands out with its four distinctive color options—Brown, Turquoise, Red, and Black—each featuring patterned inner temples that add visual interest. The 53-15-135 measurements provide a reliable medium fit, and the full-rim acetate construction delivers the durability and comfort Elle is known for. At a starting price of $92.29, you're getting authentic designer eyewear with a one-year manufacturer's warranty, a protective case, and cleaning cloth included.

The EL13398's rectangle shape is particularly versatile, working well in professional settings while the color variety and subtle temple patterns keep the look from feeling too corporate. If you have a round or oval face shape, the angular lines will add definition. The acetate material is hypoallergenic and lightweight, making these frames comfortable for all-day wear whether you're at a desk or on the move.

When comparing Elle frames in this collection, consider which color palette speaks to you and whether you prefer the specific temple design of the EL13398. All three models—the EL13398, EL13410, and EL13404—offer the same quality construction and prescription-ready functionality, so your choice comes down to the aesthetic details that match your personal style.
