The Sloan is a large round women's frame with the kind of presence that's hard to ignore. Big, circular frames have had staying power in eyewear for decades - and the Sloan earns its place in that lineage with a shape that's generous without tipping into costume territory. The roundness is full and confident, the proportions deliberately large in a way that suits the style rather than overcrowding it.
At 14.5 cm wide and 5 cm high, the Sloan sits best on oval, square, and oblong face shapes where the soft, circular frame provides contrast and balance. Square and angular faces in particular benefit from the rounded silhouette - it softens strong jawlines and adds a natural harmony to sharper features. That said, the sheer width of 14.5 cm means it carries across more face shapes than a smaller round frame typically would.
The frames are TR90 - a thermoplastic material that's notably more flexible and impact-resistant than standard acetate or polycarbonate. It bends rather than snaps, which makes the Sloan a practical choice for everyday wear without sacrificing the bold aesthetic. Lightweight too, so despite the larger frame size there's no discomfort wearing them for long stretches.
A frame worth picking up in more than one colour — the round shape reads differently depending on the shade, and the Sloan comes in several options that shift the mood from understated to eye-catching.
Size: 14.5 cm wide x 5 cm high. Category 3 polarised lenses.
