WHO: Lyrics in the Jackson 5 song, “ABC,” the sitcom “Three’s Company,” the Trinity, winning a “3-peat,” and the saying “third time’s the charm.”

WHAT: Three-piece mounts are taking on a trendier look as these styles are popping into not only optical but sun collections as well, featuring unique shapes, temples and lens treatments.

WEAR: (Top to Bottom) The retro cat eye is getting a unique update with this style from Silhouette. This rimless style, part of the new Essence collection, features a striking shape coupled with a rosé color gradation and features high-tech titanium and SPX, a durable and flexible material specially developed by Silhouette. Marchon’s Chloé brand showcases floral charm and unique craftsmanship with its new Rosie frame style. This eye-catching, 3-piece sunglass is equipped with 4mm premium lenses that are multifaceted and finely molded to evoke the shape of a flower. Modern glamour is infused with sophistication in this sleek rimless optical style from De Rigo REM’s Chopard collection. The VCHC53S style from the iconic Happy Heart collection, features a classic lens silhouette, elevated by dual heart detailing on the temples, creating a chic and modern look.

WHY: Heavier and thicker frames are taking a back seat to these “less is more” three-piece mounts. While these lightweight rimless looks can be a minimalist’s dream, they can offer bold variations with their shapes and lens treatments. These rimless styles are anything but boring.
