Maui Jim ORCHID MJ735 vs HONI MJ758: Which Style Is Right for You?
Both the Maui Jim ORCHID MJ735 and Maui Jim HONI MJ758 deliver the same world-class PolarizedPlus2® lens technology, 100% UV protection, and exceptional optical clarity at an identical price point of $222.31. The choice comes down to your preferred frame style and face shape.
Frame Shape & Style
The ORCHID features a retro-inspired butterfly frame with distinctive multi-colored tortoise patterns accented by peacock or raspberry hues. This classic silhouette offers generous coverage and a vintage-glamorous aesthetic that's particularly flattering on square and oblong face shapes. The HONI, by contrast, presents a more contemporary cat-eye/square hybrid design with cleaner lines and a modern edge—ideal for those who prefer angular, fashion-forward styling.
Lens & Technology
Both models are prescription-ready and feature the same SuperThin Glass or MauiBrilliant lens options with your choice of HCL Bronze, Maui Rose, or Neutral Grey tints. You'll get identical glare elimination (99.9%), UV protection (100%), and color-enhancing rare earth elements regardless of which frame you choose.
Fit & Comfort
The ORCHID's butterfly shape provides slightly more coverage and a softer, more feminine look, while the HONI's square geometry offers a bolder, more structured appearance. Both include spring hinges and lightweight construction for all-day comfort, though the ORCHID's saddle-style bridge may distribute weight more evenly for some wearers.
Our Recommendation
Choose the ORCHID MJ735 if you love retro-vintage style, have a square or oblong face shape, or want maximum coverage with distinctive color accents. The butterfly silhouette is timeless and universally flattering. Choose the HONI MJ758 if you prefer modern, angular styling or want a cat-eye look that makes a contemporary fashion statement. Either way, you're getting Maui Jim's legendary optical performance and the same exceptional value.
