Lilly Pulitzer Macee vs. Similar Frames
If you're considering the Macee, you might also be comparing other Lilly Pulitzer acetate frames in the same price range. Here's how the Macee stacks up against similar options in our collection.
Macee vs. Reese
The Lilly Pulitzer Reese sits at the exact same price point ($129.46) and offers a similar full-rim acetate construction with Lilly Pulitzer's signature vibrant colors. The main decision comes down to frame shape and color preferences — if the Macee's square gradient options don't match your style, the Reese may offer the alternative you're looking for in the same quality tier.
Macee vs. Tenley
The Lilly Pulitzer TENLEY comes in at $118.46, making it about $11 less expensive than the Macee. If you're budget-conscious but still want the Lilly Pulitzer aesthetic and quality acetate construction, the Tenley is worth comparing. You'll get the same brand quality and likely similar spring hinge comfort, though measurements and color options may differ.
Macee vs. Mila
The Lilly Pulitzer Mila is priced nearly identically ($128.89-$129.46) and represents another square or rectangular acetate option. If you like the Macee's size and construction but want to compare shape variations, the Mila is a natural alternative to consider.
Why choose the Macee? The Macee stands out for its distinctive gradient acetate finishes — the aqua marble and purple sunset options offer more visual interest than solid colors. The 49-15-135 measurements work well for small to medium faces, and the spring hinges provide all-day comfort. If you're drawn to Lilly Pulitzer's colorful, Palm Beach-inspired aesthetic and want a square frame that's progressive-eligible, the Macee delivers excellent value at $129.46.
