Eddie Bauer EB32016 vs. Similar Rectangle Frames
If you're considering the Eddie Bauer EB32016, you may also want to compare it to other rectangle frames in the same collection. Here's how the EB32016 stacks up against its siblings:
EB32016 vs. EB32017: Nearly Identical Sizing
The Eddie Bauer EB32017 is the closest match, with a 54-17-140 size compared to the EB32016's 53-16-140. The difference is minimal—just 1mm wider lenses and a 1mm wider bridge. The EB32017 comes in Black, Brown, and Navy, while the EB32016 offers Black, Brown, and a distinctive Green option. If you prefer navy tones or need a slightly wider bridge, the EB32017 is worth considering. Otherwise, the EB32016's green colorway and slightly more compact fit make it ideal for thinner faces.
EB32016 vs. EB32038: Medium vs. Large
The Eddie Bauer EB32038 steps up to a 56-16-141 size—3mm wider lenses and 1mm longer temples. This makes it a better choice for broader faces or anyone who finds the EB32016 too small. The EB32038 is available in Black, Blue, and Grey, offering cooler tones compared to the EB32016's warmer palette. The trade-off is a higher price ($93.68 vs. $80.75) and a larger overall footprint that may overwhelm smaller features.
EB32016 vs. EB32037: Medium vs. Extra Large
The Eddie Bauer EB32037 is the largest option at 57-16-141, with 4mm wider lenses than the EB32016. This is a significant size jump, making the EB32037 ideal for men with wider faces who need maximum coverage. It's available in Blue, Green, and Tortoise—offering a green option like the EB32016 but in a larger frame. At $93.68, it's also the most expensive of the group. Choose the EB32037 if you consistently find 53mm frames too small; stick with the EB32016 if you prefer a more compact, lightweight feel.
Why Choose the EB32016?
The EB32016 is the best choice if you have a thinner or average-width face, prefer a lighter frame, and want the most affordable option in this Eddie Bauer rectangle lineup. Its 53mm lens width is versatile enough for most wearers, and the green color option sets it apart from the other models. Customer reviews consistently praise its comfortable fit and lightweight feel—making it a solid everyday frame at an excellent price point.
