Michael Kors MK2213

The MK2213 at a glance

What you get is a butterfly front, wide at the top and tapering down. The lens is held by a full rim all the way round each lens. It rests on a saddle bridge that spreads the weight across the nose, and the nose rest is part of the frame. The frame material is acetate, per the supplier. Acetate is the plant-based plastic that most designer frames are cut and polished from sheet; it holds deep colour and an optician can re-adjust it with heat. It has acetate temples. The branding runs along the outside of the temple. Look for the cutout logo on temples. The colour code is 30058G, Michael Kors's own name for this finish.

Size and fit

It measures 57-17-140, which is the lens width, then the bridge, then the temple length, all in millimetres. The lens width of 57 mm is large for a sunglasses frame. Nobody bends the temples or nose rest before shipping; an optician can do that in a few minutes if the fit is off.

What the lens does

Lens colour: dark grey gradient. Grey is the neutral tint: it dims light evenly without shifting colours. A gradient tint, darker at the top than at the bottom. Polarization and UV rating are not in the supplier's data for this pair, so neither is claimed here.

Same frame, other colourways

We also carry the MK2213 as 300613 (Dark Tortoise with brown gradient lenses), the same frame in other finishes.
