Michael Kors MK2244U

The MK2244U at a glance

In the photos the Michael Kors MK2244U is a cat-eye front that lifts at the outer corners. There is a full rim all the way round each lens. The frame sits on a saddle bridge that spreads the weight across the nose, and the nose rest is part of the frame. Our supplier lists the frame as acetate. 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. Wide acetate temples complete the frame. The branding runs along the outside of the temple. Look for the gold-tone cutout mk logo on temples. The colour code is 300587, Michael Kors's own name for this finish.

Reading the size

It measures 53-18-145, which is the lens width, then the bridge, then the temple length, all in millimetres. At 53 mm across the lens this is a medium frame. Frames ship as the maker boxed them, without adjustment, and a local optician can fine-tune the fit.

Lens colour and finish

The lenses are dark grey. Grey is the neutral tint: it dims light evenly without shifting colours. An even, flat tint. Nothing in the supplier's data says these lenses are polarized or gives a UV rating, so we say neither.

Other colours of the MK2244U

Other versions of the MK2244U on GlareBear: 402173 (Brown Transparent with brown lenses) and 401487 (Denim Transparent with blue grey lenses). The fit does not change between them.
