Original vs Minis: What’s the difference
We love an oversized sunnies moment, but sometimes the outfit or occasion doesn’t call for a shade blocking shield.
Whether you’re looking to add a more everyday pair of sunnies to your wardrobe or you have a smaller face shape, you don’t always have to go big. That’s where our minis come in.
Minis are the styles you know and love, like HARDWIRE, but sized down to flatter more face shapes and show off another side to your selfie.
Check out some of our fave mini styles in sunnies and bluelight, and see if you can spot the difference.
Hardwire Mini: Height: 45mm Width: 142mm | Hardwire OG: Height: 50mm Width: 147mm
HARDWIRE MINI is the same easy-to-wear, classic square shape that makes them one of our bestsellers—just sized down in every way for a smaller face or just a smaller fit. On the flip side, if you often find glasses too small for your face, our OG sizes are great for bigger faces or those who prefer a larger fit. And the cherry on top—HARDWIRE or HARDWIRE MINI blue light frames are prescription-ready, so you can take them to your optometrist and have your prescription put in.
All In Mini: Height: 52mm Width:144 | All In OG: Height: 56mm Width: 151mm
Have you always wanted an aviator shape, but the size stops you from adding to cart? Try ALL IN MINI. Going small never looked so good.
(L) THE PLAYA OG Height: 54mm Width: 147mm | (R) THE PLAYA MINI Height: 54mm Width: 147mm
Players need mini frames too, and that’s why we love THE PLAYA MINI. They keep all the mega glam style you want from an aviator shape without going too big or heavy.
Mini: Height: 48mm Width: 146mm | Regular: Height: 51mm Width: 145mm
Or are you after a pair of cat eye sunnies that put an exclamation point on your outfit without overwhelming you? Put on REINA MINI. This modern take on the cat eye packs all the sass of REINA, but is scaled down, and perfect to wear everyday.
