Jones New York J356 vs J357: Which Rectangular Frame Is Right for You?
If you're deciding between the Jones New York J356 and the J357, you're comparing two very similar men's rectangular metal frames from the same collection. Both feature stainless steel fronts, full-rim construction, and a professional aesthetic—but there are a few key differences.
The J356 has a 56mm lens width, making it a large fit best suited for medium to larger faces. It's priced from $41, offering excellent value. The J357, on the other hand, has a 55mm lens width—just one millimeter smaller—and is priced at $94.80. The J357 also features plastic temples with metal accents, giving it a slightly more refined mixed-material look.
If you have a larger face or prefer more lens coverage, the J356 is the better choice. Its 56mm width provides a balanced proportion, and the lower starting price makes it a great value. If you prefer a slightly smaller fit or like the mixed-material aesthetic of the J357, that model may appeal more—but for most customers, the J356 offers the same professional style at a better price point.
Comparing the J356 to the J776
For customers with narrower faces, the Jones New York J776 is worth considering. With a 51mm lens width, it's sized for small to medium faces and starts at the same $41 price point as the J356. Both are metal frames with a clean, professional look, but the J776's smaller dimensions make it a better fit if the J356 feels too large. If you're unsure about sizing, the J356's 56mm width is the safer bet for medium to larger faces.
