Answer first: choose by shape, then dial fit
Sun models list UV protection where specified, and optical frames ship with demo lenses you’ll replace with your Rx.
Eyeglasses arrive with demo lenses (add your prescription at your optician), while the sun styles use branded lenses with 100% UVA/UVB protection on stated models.
Fit & size made simple
Typical p10–p90 for eyeglasses runs around 50–55 mm lens width, 17–18 mm bridge, and 135–140 mm temples—great for small-to-medium faces, with select larger fits. Typical sunglasses span ~54–65 mm lens widths with 13–20 mm bridges and 140–145 mm temples; oversized aviators sit at the top of that range. If you’re between sizes, prioritize bridge comfort and temple length.
Low-bridge comfort
If frames slide or rest on your cheeks, choose styles with adjustable nose pads, keyhole or low-bridge designs, or slightly narrower bridge widths. Check that pads sit evenly, temples are level, and lenses clear your cheeks when you smile.
Temple pressure, solved
Gentle ear bend and correct temple length ease side pressure. If arms flare outward or pinch, a small adjustment from an optician usually fixes it. Choose frames that sit flat at the hinge and don’t splay on your face before adjustment.
Materials you can feel
Polished acetate gives depth of color and smooth edges; metal details add lightness and shine. Most models include a branded case for safe storage. Selection updates routinely as designer releases rotate—check back for fresh drops. See our Return policy for peace of mind.

FAQ
Are Roberto Cavalli eyeglasses prescription-ready?
Yes—optical frames arrive with demo lenses intended for display and sizing. Your local optician will edge and mount your prescription lenses into the frame you choose. This keeps the frame pristine until your final Rx is installed and adjusted for comfort.
Do Roberto Cavalli sunglasses block 100% UV?
Models that specify full protection use branded sun lenses rated for 100% UVA/UVB coverage. Always check each product description and specifications for the exact UV callout before you buy, since lens features vary between styles and colorways.
Which face shapes suit Cavalli cat-eye frames best?
Cat-eye styles add lift and definition—great for oval, heart, and many round faces. Balance the upsweep with lens widths in the 50–55 mm zone for eyeglasses. Not sure about your shape? Try our Face-shape guide and compare temple length and bridge fit.
Are the Roberto Cavalli glasses on this site authentic?
Yes. ModaFrames is an authorized retailer for designer eyewear, and Roberto Cavalli frames include original branding and case where provided by the manufacturer. You’ll also see model codes and made-in-Italy markings that match the product details.
How do I choose between metal-acetate and full acetate?
Full acetate gives rich color depth and a smooth handfeel; metal-acetate mixes add shine and weight reduction, often with adjustable pads. If you have a sensitive bridge or need finer tuning, consider mixed builds; for bold color and sculpted edges, go full acetate.
What if frames slide on a low nose bridge?
Look for styles with adjustable pads or slightly narrower bridges. Small tweaks—pad angle, temple bend—often solve slippage and cheek touch. An optician can add subtle curvature so lenses center in front of your pupils without pressure points.
Do Roberto Cavalli sunglasses come polarized?
Some styles or lens colors may feature polarized options, but it’s not universal. Check each product’s lens description. If you need maximum glare reduction for driving or water, choose a model that explicitly lists polarized lenses or explore lens upgrades post-purchase.
What sizes are typical for Roberto Cavalli eyeglasses?
Many optical frames cluster around 50–55 mm lens widths, bridges near 17–18 mm, and 135–140 mm temples. Choose lens width for face width, bridge for stability, and temple length for ear comfort. If you’re between sizes, match bridge first—comfort follows.
Will oversized aviator sunglasses feel too wide?
Large pilots can reach 62–65 mm lens widths. Balance by checking the bridge (13–16 mm is common on these) and ensuring temples reach comfortably without splay. A quick adjustment at an optical shop fine-tunes the ear bend for secure all-day wear.
What’s included with Roberto Cavalli frames?
Most listings include an original case; contents may vary by model and production run. Expect demo lenses on eyeglasses. For sunglasses, review each description for UV coverage and lens type—gradient, mirror, or standard tints are called out per style.
