Liz Claiborne 663 vs. Similar Cat-Eye Frames
If you're drawn to the Liz Claiborne 663's cat-eye silhouette and stainless steel construction, you might also be considering other models in the Liz Claiborne collection. Here's how the 663 compares to three similar frames in our catalog.
Full-Rim vs. Semi-Rimless: 663 vs. L645
The Liz Claiborne L645 shares the 663's cat-eye shape and color palette (Plum, Brown, Semi Matte Navy) but features a semi-rimless construction where the bottom of the lens is exposed. If you prefer a lighter, more minimalist look, the L645 delivers that aesthetic. However, the 663's full-rim design offers better lens protection and supports a wider range of prescriptions, particularly higher powers. The 663 also features more elaborate temple detailing with its laser-cut design, while the L645 keeps things simpler. For everyday durability and visual interest, the 663 has the edge.
Bold vs. Moderate: 663 vs. L446
The Liz Claiborne L446 takes the cat-eye angle further with a bolder, more dramatic lift. Both frames use full-rim stainless steel construction, but the L446 is available in smaller sizes (47mm and 49mm lens width) that work particularly well for petite faces. Customer reviews highlight the L446's success for those who struggle to find frames that fit smaller features. The 663, with its 51mm and 53mm options, suits small to medium faces and offers a more moderate cat-eye lift that transitions easily between professional and casual settings. If you want maximum cat-eye drama, choose the L446. If you prefer versatility and distinctive temple details, the 663 is your frame.
Same Price, Different Style: 663 vs. L442
At the same $90.42 price point, the Liz Claiborne L442 offers a semi-rimless alternative with more color variety (8 combinations versus the 663's 6). The L442's half-rim design creates an airier appearance that some wearers prefer for a less structured look. However, semi-rimless frames can be more delicate and may not accommodate all prescription types as easily as full-rim frames. The 663's full-rim construction provides superior lens security and showcases those eye-catching temple cutouts more prominently. For a frame that balances style and practicality, the 663 is the stronger choice.
Ultimately, the Liz Claiborne 663 stands out for its combination of full-rim durability, moderate cat-eye styling, and distinctive decorative temples—a frame that works as hard as you do without sacrificing personality.
