Kate Spade CRYSTAL vs. Annika: Oval or Rectangular?
Choosing between the Kate Spade CRYSTAL and the Kate Spade Annika comes down to frame shape and the look you want to achieve. Both are acetate frames in the same price range, but they offer distinctly different styles.
The CRYSTAL features a soft oval shape that flatters most face types and adds a feminine, approachable vibe. Its translucent acetate comes in four bold colors (black, blue, white, and red), giving you more variety. The oval shape is naturally versatile—it works with angular faces by softening sharp features and complements round faces by adding slight elongation.
The Annika, on the other hand, is a rectangular frame with more structure and angles. It's ideal if you prefer a sharper, more defined look. The Annika also features a saddle nose bridge and adjustable wire core temples for a customizable fit, plus a unique contrasting print inside the temples. However, rectangular frames can be less forgiving on certain face shapes, particularly those with strong jawlines or very angular features.
Our recommendation: Choose the CRYSTAL if you want a softer, more universally flattering frame with vibrant color options. Choose the Annika if you prefer structured, rectangular frames and want the added comfort features of adjustable temples. Both are prescription-ready and offer excellent UV protection.
