Lacoste L2291 vs. Similar Lacoste Metal Frames
If you're considering the Lacoste L2291, you may also be weighing other metal frames from the same collection. Here's how the L2291 stacks up against three popular alternatives in our catalog.
L2291 vs. L2217: Classic vs. Refined
The Lacoste L2217 offers a more refined, understated aesthetic compared to the L2291's bold color blocking. Both are lightweight metal frames with rectangular lenses, but the L2217 leans more formal—it's described as equally at home in the office or on the golf course. The L2291's vibrant temple accents (like the orange-and-green combination) make more of a statement. If you prefer subtle branding and a higher-end feel, the L2217 is worth the premium ($116.89–$204.70). If you want Lacoste's sporty DNA front and center at a better value, the L2291 ($108.82–$120.62) delivers.
L2291 vs. L2707: Understated vs. Bold
The Lacoste L2707 takes the brand's color-blocking approach even further, with colorful piping along the temples and an extended Lacoste logo. It's a bolder, more overtly sporty frame. The L2291 strikes a middle ground—it has color contrast, but the design is more restrained and versatile for professional settings. The L2707's price range ($57.00–$123.75) overlaps with the L2291, so your choice comes down to how much visual impact you want. The L2707 is for those who want their eyewear to be a focal point; the L2291 works when you want designer style that doesn't dominate your look.
L2291 vs. L2842: Side-by-Side Alternatives
The Lacoste L2842 sits in a similar price range ($97.06–$107.69) and shares the L2291's metal construction and professional-casual positioning. Without seeing both side by side, the decision often comes down to fit and color availability. Both frames offer adjustable nose pads and durable metal builds, so if the L2291's specific colors don't match your style or the size doesn't fit perfectly, the L2842 is a logical alternative within the same Lacoste aesthetic.
Bottom line: The L2291 is the best choice if you want Lacoste's sports heritage visible in the design (bold temple colors) but still need a frame that works in multiple settings. It's more versatile than the L2707, more accessible than the L2217, and offers the adjustable comfort features (spring hinges, nose pads) that make metal frames practical for all-day wear.
