The Marchon NYC M POWELL Eyeglasses deliver clean, professional style in a full-rim rectangle metal frame built for everyday wear. Constructed from durable stainless steel, these prescription-ready frames feature a classic single-bridge design and adjustable nose pads that let you dial in a custom fit—no sliding, no pressure points.
Available in four versatile finishes—Black, Gunmetal, Brown, and Navy—the M POWELL suits a wide range of face shapes and personal styles. The rectangle shape adds structure to round or oval faces, while the metal construction keeps the overall weight light and comfortable for all-day use. With two size options (54mm and 56mm lens widths), you can choose the fit that works best for your face.
Stainless steel frames are known for their strength and corrosion resistance, making them a smart choice if you need glasses that can handle daily wear without losing their shape. The full-rim design supports all lens types—single vision, progressives, bifocals—and works well with higher prescriptions since the frame edge helps conceal lens thickness.
"I love these glasses and I get so many compliments when I am wearing them!" — Coolframes customer review
Marchon NYC has been manufacturing quality eyewear since 1983, combining practical design with accessible pricing. The M POWELL reflects that approach—straightforward construction, reliable materials, and a look that works in the office or out. These frames ship ready for your prescription lenses, with temple lengths of 140mm or 145mm depending on size.
If you're looking for metal eyeglasses that balance durability, comfort, and professional style without the premium price tag, the M POWELL is worth a look. The adjustable nose pads and lightweight stainless steel make them easy to wear, and the rectangle shape is one of the most universally flattering frame styles available.

Frequently Asked Questions
Are the Marchon NYC M POWELL frames prescription-ready?
Yes, the M POWELL frames are fully prescription-ready and compatible with all lens types including single vision, progressive, and bifocal lenses. The full-rim metal construction provides excellent support for prescription lenses of varying thicknesses, and our optical lab can customize them to your exact prescription specifications.
What size should I choose for the M POWELL eyeglasses?
The M POWELL is available in two lens widths: 54mm and 56mm. A 54mm lens width is considered medium and suits most average-width faces, while the 56mm is a large fit for wider faces. The frame also comes with temple lengths of 140mm or 145mm. Metal frames with adjustable nose pads offer flexibility in fit, typically accommodating variations of 2-3mm from your ideal measurements.
What material are these frames made from?
The M POWELL frames are constructed from stainless steel, a premium metal material known for its durability, corrosion resistance, and lightweight properties. Stainless steel frames are robust and resistant to breakage while maintaining a comfortable weight for all-day wear. The material also features adjustable nose pads for a customized fit.
Are these frames good for strong prescriptions?
Yes, the full-rim rectangle design of the M POWELL frames works well with strong prescriptions. The frame's edge helps conceal the natural thickness of higher-prescription lenses, making the glasses appear slimmer and lighter. Metal frames can easily support the weight of thicker lenses without sacrificing comfort or style.
What face shapes work best with rectangle frames?
Rectangle frames like the M POWELL are ideal for round or oval face shapes, as they add structure and definition to softer facial features. The clean lines of rectangular frames create a sporty or professional look and are considered one of the most universally flattering frame styles. They work well for most face types and never go out of style.
Does Marchon NYC offer a warranty on these frames?
Yes, Marchon NYC frames typically come with a one-year warranty against manufacturer's defects. This warranty covers workmanship issues but does not include damage from normal wear or accidents.

M POWELL vs M MOORE
The M MOORE is the closest comparison to the M POWELL, offering similar rectangle metal construction at a comparable price ($62.93-$116.70 vs $64.45-$104.70).
