PLASTICS II URBAN vs. Other PLASTICS II Models
If you're considering the URBAN, you might also be looking at other frames in the PLASTICS II collection. All models share the same acetate construction, spring hinges, and one-year warranty, so your choice comes down to shape and styling preferences.
URBAN vs. REMOTE
Both are rectangle frames at $30.29 with identical construction quality. The URBAN features a classic rectangle shape with a 51mm lens width, making it suitable for small to medium faces. The REMOTE offers an alternative rectangle styling within the same collection. If you prefer the traditional rectangle look, the URBAN is your best bet. Both accept the same prescription lens options and come with the same warranty coverage.
URBAN vs. HUDSON
The HUDSON is another rectangle option priced between $29.29-$30.29. Like the URBAN, it features acetate construction with spring hinges for durability and comfort. The choice between these two comes down to subtle styling differences—the URBAN's clean, straightforward rectangle design versus the HUDSON's specific aesthetic. Both are excellent everyday frames that can handle prescription lenses from single-vision to progressives.
Why Choose the URBAN?
The URBAN stands out for its versatile unisex rectangle shape and four color options (Black, Navy/Tortoise, Crystal, and Tortoise). The 51-17-140 sizing works well for most small to medium faces, and the spring hinges provide the flexibility and durability you need for daily wear. At just over $30 for the frames, it's an affordable option whether you need a primary pair or a reliable backup.
