DESCRIPTION RATINGS & REVIEWS PRESCRIPTION GUIDE

The Elle EL13511 eyeglasses bring a fresh take on the cat-eye silhouette for women who want everyday sophistication without the fuss. This full-rim acetate frame balances vintage-inspired curves with a modern, wearable profile—subtle enough for the office, distinctive enough to get noticed.

Semi-Cat-Eye Shape That Actually Flatters

The EL13511 features a softened cat-eye shape that adds gentle lift without the dramatic flair of retro styles. The upswept outer corners draw attention upward, creating definition that's especially flattering on round and oval face shapes. At 54mm lens width and 15mm bridge, the proportions work for medium faces, while the full-rim acetate construction keeps the look polished and complete.

What sets this frame apart are the striped temple tips—a thoughtful design detail that adds visual interest and makes the glasses easier to spot when you set them down. The 146mm temples curve gently inward for a secure, comfortable fit behind the ears, and the acetate material is lightweight enough for all-day wear.

Prescription-Ready with Optional Clip-On Sunglasses

The EL13511 is fully prescription-ready, accepting single-vision, progressive, and reader lenses. You can also pair it with the separately-sold EL13511C magnetic clip-on sunglasses to transform your prescription glasses into sun protection in seconds—a practical option if you're tired of juggling two pairs.

Available in three versatile colorways—Tortoise (TT), Blue (BL), and Wine (WI)—each finish showcases the quality of the acetate material. Elle eyewear is manufactured by Charmant USA and reflects the brand's Parisian heritage: simple, understated profiles with unexpected details that make daily wear feel a bit more special.

If you need frames that transition easily from work to weekend, the Elle EL13511 delivers reliable style and comfort at a price that makes sense.

Elle EL13511 RX lens glasses

I'm not overall happy with the quality of my glasses. The frames are nice but had a loose frame on ear piece. The Rx lenses were correct but the fit of one lens on the frames was loose.

Frequently Asked Questions

Are the Elle EL13511 eyeglasses prescription-ready?

Yes, the Elle EL13511 frames are fully prescription-ready and accept all lens types including single-vision, progressive, and reading lenses. The full-rim acetate construction provides a secure lens fit, and the frames can be fitted with prescription lenses at any optical shop or through Designer Optics' lens services.

What face shapes look best in Elle EL13511 cat-eye frames?

The EL13511's semi-cat-eye shape is particularly flattering on round and oval face shapes. The angular upswept corners add definition to softer features and create visual length. The 54mm lens width works well for medium-sized faces, and the balanced proportions suit most wearers looking for a subtle cat-eye effect.

Can I get clip-on sunglasses for the Elle EL13511?

Yes, Elle offers the EL13511C clip-on sunglasses designed specifically to fit the EL13511 frames. The clip-on attaches magnetically to transform your prescription eyeglasses into sunglasses, eliminating the need to carry a separate pair of prescription sunglasses. The clip-on is sold separately and available in matching colors.

What are the frame measurements for the Elle EL13511?

The Elle EL13511 measures 54mm lens width, 15mm bridge width, and 146mm temple length (54-15-146). This is considered a medium fit suitable for most adult faces. The full-rim acetate frame is lightweight and comfortable for all-day wear.

What material are the Elle EL13511 frames made from?

The EL13511 frames are made from high-quality cellulose acetate, a durable and lightweight plastic material that can be easily adjusted for a custom fit. Acetate is known for its rich color depth, smooth finish, and hypoallergenic properties, making it comfortable for extended wear.

Elle EL13511 vs. EL13512 vs. EL13510: Which Frame Shape Is Right for You?

All three models come from Elle's popular 135xx collection, share the same quality acetate construction, and retail for $107.06. The real decision comes down to lens shape and the look you're after.

Elle EL13511: The Semi-Cat-Eye

The EL13511 offers a softened cat-eye silhouette with upswept outer corners that add lift and definition. It's the most feminine of the three and particularly flattering on round and oval faces. The cat-eye shape draws attention upward and creates visual length, making it ideal if you want frames that feel polished and distinctive without being overly dramatic. Pair with the EL13511C clip-on for instant sun protection.

Elle EL13512: The Square Alternative

If you prefer a more contemporary, gender-neutral look, the EL13512's square lens shape delivers clean lines and modern appeal. Square frames work well for angular or square face shapes because they echo your natural bone structure rather than fighting it. This is the best choice if you want something current and versatile that won't read as overtly feminine.

Elle EL13510: The Subtle Wingtip

The EL13510 splits the difference with round lenses and a subtle wingtip detail. It's softer than the cat-eye but more interesting than a basic round frame. Round lenses are universally flattering and create a friendly, approachable vibe. Choose this if you like vintage-inspired details but want something understated for everyday wear.

Our Recommendation

For round faces seeking definition: go with the EL13511. The cat-eye shape adds structure and elongates features better than the other two options. For square or angular faces: the EL13512 or EL13510 will soften your features more effectively. And if you're drawn to the cat-eye aesthetic and want frames that make a subtle statement, the EL13511 is the standout choice in this trio.

Cons:
