One, ones

- Which of these two pairs of glasses suits me best?

- The round ones. I don't think the square ones suit you at all.



Why in the reply we have ones ? Shouldnt it be one because we refere to a round/square pair of glasses, or I'm wrong?

Thanks in advance!

Dominik Why in the reply we have ones ? It references the shape of the lenses (or the frame around the lenses) in the glasses. There are two of these in each pair.
