Burberry 2255Q vs. Similar Women's Square Frames
Shopping for the perfect Burberry women's eyeglasses? The 2255Q stands out with its signature check temple design, but how does it compare to other popular Burberry square frames?
Burberry 2255Q vs. Burberry 2172
The Burberry 2172 is the closest alternative to the 2255Q. Both feature square acetate frames with similar sizing (51-52mm lens widths) and full-rim construction perfect for prescription lenses. The key difference lies in the temple design: the 2255Q features decorative metal accents and the iconic Burberry check pattern, making it more of a statement piece, while the 2172 offers a cleaner, more minimalist aesthetic with simpler temple styling.
Price-wise, the 2172 ($159.84-$178.10) comes in slightly lower than the 2255Q ($175.07-$203.98). If you love the Burberry check detail and want a more distinctive look, the 2255Q is your frame. If you prefer understated elegance and worry less about decorative elements wearing over time, the 2172 is an excellent choice.
Burberry 2255Q vs. Burberry 2291
The Burberry 2291 offers another square frame option in a comparable price range ($139.91-$194.99). Like the 2255Q, it features full-rim acetate construction and is designed for women seeking sophisticated eyewear. The 2291 provides an alternative temple design for those who want the square silhouette but prefer different styling details.
Why Choose the Burberry 2255Q?
The 2255Q is ideal if you want recognizable Burberry signature styling with the check pattern, a versatile square shape that flatters most face shapes, and a frame that makes a fashion statement while remaining professional. With four color options and two sizes, it offers excellent customization. Just remember to store them properly in a protective case to maintain the decorative temple details over time.
