TRES JOLIE 160 vs Other TRES JOLIE Collection Frames
If you're drawn to the TRES JOLIE 160's feminine filigree temples and half-rim design, you might also consider these alternatives from the same collection:
TRES JOLIE 160 vs TRES JOLIE 118
The main difference comes down to frame shape and rim style. The TRES JOLIE 160 features a rectangle half-rim design that's lighter and more minimalist, ideal for a professional look with an unobstructed lower field of view. The TRES JOLIE 118 offers an oval full-rim construction that's slightly more durable and provides softer, more rounded lines. If you have a round face and want more definition, the 160's rectangle shape is the better choice. If you prefer maximum lens protection and a softer look, consider the 118. The 160 starts at $74.60, making it the more affordable option.
TRES JOLIE 160 vs TRES JOLIE 173
Both frames share the same lightweight half-rim construction, so the decision comes down to temple styling and price. The TRES JOLIE 160 features the signature filigree cutout temples at a starting price of $74.60, while the 173 offers alternative decorative details starting at $80.62. If you love the half-rim benefits—wider field of view, reduced weight, professional appearance—but want to explore different decorative options, compare the temple designs side by side. Both are prescription-ready and offer the same comfortable fit.
Why Choose the TRES JOLIE 160?
The TRES JOLIE 160 stands out as the most affordable entry point into the collection's half-rim styles. The intricate filigree temples deliver visual interest without adding weight, and the rectangle shape provides flattering definition for round and oval faces. With three elegant finishes and two size options, it's a versatile choice that balances feminine detail with everyday practicality. Customer reviews consistently praise the lightweight comfort and the fact that the decorative temples are flattering without being overwhelming.
