The Nine West 1021 Eyeglasses bring together professional polish and everyday wearability in a square metal frame designed for women. Built from stainless steel, these full-rim frames resist corrosion and daily wear while staying light on your face—ideal if you're wearing glasses from morning meetings through evening plans.
The square shape adds structure and definition, flattering round and oval face shapes particularly well. What sets the NW1021 apart is the contrast between the sleek metal front and the patterned acetate temples. The temple arms feature decorative detailing in complementary patterns—a signature Nine West touch that references the brand's fashion-forward accessories line. Available in warm tan with tortoise temples and dark gunmetal with blue accents, these frames transition easily between work and weekend.
Stainless Steel Construction
Stainless steel isn't just about looks. The material resists rust and tarnishing, maintains its finish over time, and offers a comfortable weight distribution that reduces pressure on your nose and ears during all-day wear. It's also hypoallergenic, making it a smart choice if you have sensitive skin or metal allergies. The frames come in two lens widths—52mm and 54mm—with a 15mm bridge and 135mm temples, giving you sizing options for a better fit.
Prescription Lens Options
Frames start at $97 and do not include prescription lenses. You can add single-vision, progressive, or reading lenses to match your exact prescription through our in-house lab or take the frames to your local optician. Prescription lens pricing varies based on lens type, material, and coatings—standard single-vision lenses typically start around $29, while premium progressive lenses range higher. The full-rim design provides excellent lens stability and works with a wide range of prescription strengths.
