What is frame size?
So, wondering what size glasses or sunglasses to order? And where do i find out the different sizes?
On every single eyewear page on our website, along with pictures and a description of each frame is a list of the frame measurements in mm. This is to help visualize how each size of frame would measure on you face. An example of frame measurements are listed below -
A - This is the lens width measurement. e.g 51mm
B - This is the lens height measurement. e.g 45mm
C - This is the bridge measurement. e.g 18mm
D - This is the arm length measurement. e.g 140mm
If you already have a pair of prescription glasses or sunglasses that fit you well and you would like a similar size then these measurements are typically found on the inside of the arm and would show the lens width, bridge size and arm length. An example would read 51/18/140.
Face shape plays a big role in finding glasses that enhance your features!
Round Face: The best glasses will add contrast and definition to balance your soft features.
Rectangular or Square frames add angles and create a slimming effect.
Cat-eye frames helps lift your features.
Geometric frames to add contrast and structure.
Try to avoid Small, Round, Oval and some Oversized frames as they can emphasize the roundness of the face and unbalance.
Oval Face: This face shape gives you a lot of flexibility when choosing glasses as your features are naturally balanced, the best frames will enhance your proportions rather than overpower them.
Classic Wayfarers, Aviators or soft Rectangular frames keep everything in proportion and balanced.
Rounded or Oval frames offer soft angles without adding too many sharp edges.
Oversized, Geometric, or statement frames add personality and width while still complementing your balanced shape.
Try to avoid overly narrow frames, which can make your face look longer.
Square Face: A square face shape is defined by strong jawlines and angular features, so the best glasses will soften your look and create balance.

Rimless and Half Rim lightweight design frames prevent adding too much definition to an already structured face.
Cat-Eye or Aviator frames help create a lifting effect and bring attention to your eyes.
Butterfly frames with gentle curves help balance strong features.

Oval and Round frames help soften angular features and create a harmonious look.
Browline frames complement high cheekbones and a narrow forehead.

Patterns can also add personality without overpowering your look. The goal is to balance proportions and add definition where needed. Here’s a quick guide:
