Lacoste L3804B vs L3803B vs L3647: Which Rectangular Frame Is Right for You?
Shopping for Lacoste rectangular acetate eyeglasses? The L3804B, L3803B, and L3647 all deliver the brand's signature sporty French style and quality construction, but each offers distinct advantages depending on your fit preferences and style priorities.
L3804B: The Best All-Around Choice
The Lacoste L3804B stands out with its versatile 16mm bridge width and unique phosphorescent Star Phospho temples that glow in the dark. This 51-16-135mm frame hits the sweet spot for fit—the slightly wider bridge accommodates more nose shapes comfortably, while the fun glow feature makes it especially appealing for kids and teens. With the widest color selection including vibrant matte finishes, the L3804B offers the most options and the most distinctive style in this comparison.
L3803B: For Narrower Bridges
If you have a smaller nose bridge, the Lacoste L3803B (51-14-135mm) might be your better fit. The 14mm bridge sits closer together, ideal for narrower facial structures. You'll still get the same phosphorescent temple feature and quality acetate construction, plus a slightly lower starting price ($55.00 vs $62.77). However, color options are more limited, and the narrower bridge can feel tight if you're between sizes—try before you buy if possible.
L3647: Classic and Understated
Prefer a more traditional look? The Lacoste L3647 delivers the same rectangular acetate quality and prescription-ready versatility without the glow-in-the-dark feature. It's perfect for adults or teens who want Lacoste's sporting heritage in a more understated package. The price matches the L3803B ($55.00-$66.46), making it a solid value—but you'll miss out on the distinctive phosphorescent temples that make the L3804B and L3803B so unique.
Our Recommendation
For most customers, the Lacoste L3804B is the best choice. The 16mm bridge fits a wider range of face shapes, the phosphorescent temples add functional fun (especially for kids who need to find glasses at night), and the expanded color selection means you're more likely to find your perfect match. The slightly higher price ($62.77 starting) is justified by the versatility and unique glow feature. Choose the L3803B only if you specifically need a narrower 14mm bridge, or opt for the L3647 if you prefer classic styling without the glow effect.
