Elle EL13511 vs. EL13512 vs. EL13510: Which Frame Shape Is Right for You?
All three models come from Elle's popular 135xx collection, share the same quality acetate construction, and retail for $107.06. The real decision comes down to lens shape and the look you're after.
Elle EL13511: The Semi-Cat-Eye
The EL13511 offers a softened cat-eye silhouette with upswept outer corners that add lift and definition. It's the most feminine of the three and particularly flattering on round and oval faces. The cat-eye shape draws attention upward and creates visual length, making it ideal if you want frames that feel polished and distinctive without being overly dramatic. Pair with the EL13511C clip-on for instant sun protection.
Elle EL13512: The Square Alternative
If you prefer a more contemporary, gender-neutral look, the EL13512's square lens shape delivers clean lines and modern appeal. Square frames work well for angular or square face shapes because they echo your natural bone structure rather than fighting it. This is the best choice if you want something current and versatile that won't read as overtly feminine.
Elle EL13510: The Subtle Wingtip
The EL13510 splits the difference with round lenses and a subtle wingtip detail. It's softer than the cat-eye but more interesting than a basic round frame. Round lenses are universally flattering and create a friendly, approachable vibe. Choose this if you like vintage-inspired details but want something understated for everyday wear.
Our Recommendation
For round faces seeking definition: go with the EL13511. The cat-eye shape adds structure and elongates features better than the other two options. For square or angular faces: the EL13512 or EL13510 will soften your features more effectively. And if you're drawn to the cat-eye aesthetic and want frames that make a subtle statement, the EL13511 is the standout choice in this trio.
