The Nine West NW5220 eyeglasses bring a modern take on the cat-eye silhouette with a squared-off lens shape and translucent acetate front. Available in four crystal finishes—grey, sand, blush, and khaki—the frame pairs a full-rim acetate construction with slim metal temples that taper toward the ear. The Nine West logo sits on a small metal plaque at the hinge, a subtle brand signature that doesn’t overpower the clean lines.
The front is made from cellulose acetate, a plant-based material known for holding rich color and resisting fading over time. Acetate is lighter than standard plastic and can be adjusted for a custom fit. The translucent crystal finishes let light pass through the frame, giving the NW5220 a softer, less heavy appearance on the face. The metal temples add structural support without adding bulk, and the temple tips feature matching acetate end pieces in a tortoise or coordinating pattern for grip and comfort.
These frames are prescription-ready and compatible with single-vision, progressive, bifocal, and non-prescription lenses. The 56mm and 53mm lens widths provide enough vertical height for progressive corridor placement, and the full-rim design securely holds thicker prescriptions without visible lens edges. The 17mm bridge sits comfortably on most nose shapes, and the frame’s moderate weight distribution prevents sliding during extended wear.
The NW5220 works well for square and heart-shaped faces—the upswept outer corners soften angular jawlines and balance wider foreheads. The squared cat-eye shape also suits oval faces looking for a frame with a bit more structure. With two size options (53mm and 56mm lens width), the NW5220 accommodates a range of face widths. The crystal color palette is versatile enough for professional settings but distinct enough to stand out from basic black frames.
