Kate Spade BEXLEY vs. Similar Rectangle Sunglasses
If you're drawn to the BEXLEY's retro-rectangle vibe, you might also be considering the Kate Spade Annika or Claretta. Here's how they compare.
BEXLEY vs. Annika: Cat-Eye Edge vs. Classic Rectangle
The Kate Spade Annika offers a slightly larger 56mm lens width and a more traditional rectangle shape without the BEXLEY's upward-sweeping cat-eye edges. If you prefer a conservative, versatile look that works in professional settings, the Annika is the safer choice. But if you want a frame that adds personality and lifts your features—especially flattering for round faces—the BEXLEY's hybrid cat-eye rectangle delivers more visual interest. The Annika also features copper-tone metal temple accents, while the BEXLEY showcases the signature Kate Spade logo in metal. Both are prescription-ready and priced similarly, so it comes down to whether you want classic or playful.
BEXLEY vs. Claretta: Budget-Friendly vs. Premium Options
The Kate Spade Claretta is a full-acetate rectangle sunglass with seven colorways, including eye-catching havana/pink and havana/blue combinations. It's a step up in price (starting at $93.63 vs. $59.50 for the BEXLEY) and offers more color variety. However, the BEXLEY's metal logo accent and cat-eye silhouette give it a more distinctive retro character. If you're budget-conscious and love the vintage-inspired look, the BEXLEY is the smarter buy. If you want maximum color choices and don't mind spending more, the Claretta expands your options.
Our take: The BEXLEY hits the sweet spot—retro cat-eye charm, quality acetate construction, and an accessible price. It's the best choice for anyone who wants a frame that feels both playful and polished without breaking the bank.
