The Polo 1190 Eyeglasses bring clean, professional style to your everyday prescription eyewear. These men's rectangle frames are built from stainless steel—a material chosen for its durability, corrosion resistance, and surprisingly light weight. You get the solid feel of metal construction without the heaviness, making these frames comfortable for all-day wear at the office, home, or anywhere your day takes you.
The rectangle shape is one of the most versatile in eyewear. It balances rounded facial features and provides enough vertical depth to work well with progressive or bifocal lenses if you need them. The full-rim design secures your prescription lenses and gives the frames a finished, put-together look that pairs easily with business casual or weekend wear.
Stainless steel offers practical advantages beyond looks. It resists bending and holds its shape through daily handling, won't corrode from moisture or sweat, and is hypoallergenic—a good choice if you have sensitive skin or metal allergies. The temples feature subtle Polo branding and color accents (red detailing visible in several colorways), adding a touch of the brand's sporty heritage without being loud about it.
Available in multiple finishes—matte navy blue, matte dark gunmetal, semi-shiny silver, and black—the Polo 1190 gives you options to match your personal style. Sizes run from 54mm to 58mm lens width with a 17mm bridge, covering a range of face sizes. These frames are prescription-ready and ship with demo lenses that your optician can replace with your Rx.
Polo Ralph Lauren eyewear captures the brand's preppy-meets-practical aesthetic: frames that look good, fit well, and don't demand constant adjustment or worry. The 1190 is a straightforward choice if you want metal frames that work, not ones that need babying.

Frequently Asked Questions
Are the Polo 1190 eyeglasses suitable for progressive or bifocal lenses?
Yes, the Polo 1190 frames work well with progressive and bifocal lenses. The rectangle shape provides adequate vertical lens height (the frame's depth) to accommodate the different viewing zones in multifocal lenses. For best results with progressives, look for a lens height of at least 30mm, which this full-rim rectangle design typically supports.
What are the benefits of stainless steel frames compared to other materials?
Stainless steel frames like the Polo 1190 offer a strong balance of durability, lightweight comfort, and affordability. They resist corrosion from moisture and sweat, maintain their shape well, and are hypoallergenic—making them suitable for people with sensitive skin or metal allergies. While titanium frames are lighter and more flexible, stainless steel provides similar benefits at a more accessible price point.
Will these frames feel heavy on my face?
No, stainless steel frames are designed to be lightweight despite their metal construction. The material's strength-to-weight ratio means you get durable frames that feel surprisingly light during all-day wear. Many wearers report hardly noticing the weight, especially compared to thicker plastic frames.
What face shapes work best with rectangle eyeglass frames?
Rectangle frames like the Polo 1190 are particularly flattering on round or oval face shapes, as the angular lines help balance softer facial features and add definition. The horizontal emphasis of the rectangle shape can also complement longer face shapes by adding width.
Can I get prescription lenses installed in these frames?
Absolutely. The Polo 1190 eyeglasses are prescription-ready and compatible with single-vision, bifocal, and progressive lenses. The frames ship with demo lenses that can be replaced by any licensed optician with your custom prescription. The full-rim metal construction is also easy to adjust for a precise fit.
How durable are Polo Ralph Lauren eyeglass frames?
Polo frames are built to last with quality materials and solid construction. Stainless steel frames are valued for their durability and resistance to scratching, bending, and corrosion. With proper care, high-quality metal frames like these can last three years or longer—significantly longer than budget alternatives.

Polo 1190 vs. Similar Polo Metal Frames
If you're considering the Polo 1190 Eyeglasses, you might also be looking at other metal frames in the Polo collection. The Polo 1157 and Polo 1147 are two comparable options that share the same design philosophy: clean rectangle shapes, durable metal construction, and that classic Polo preppy-professional aesthetic.
All three models use quality metal construction and are prescription-ready, so your choice comes down to the specific frame shape, size availability, and color options that work best for your face and style. The Polo 1190 stands out with its stainless steel build and distinctive color accents on the temples—the red detailing adds a subtle sporty touch that's signature Polo Ralph Lauren.
Price-wise, these frames are all in the same range (roughly $93-$165 depending on size and options), making them accessible designer eyewear without the luxury markup. The rectangle shape across all three models means they're versatile for different face shapes and work well with progressive or bifocal lenses if you need multifocals.
Why choose the Polo 1190? If you want a straightforward, well-built metal rectangle frame with multiple color options and proven durability, the 1190 delivers. The stainless steel construction offers excellent corrosion resistance and hypoallergenic properties, and the full-rim design provides solid lens security. It's a reliable everyday frame that doesn't try too hard—just clean, functional style that works.
