find your fit
the right frame starts with knowing your face. use this guide to shop with confidence — and skip the back-and-forth on pairs that don't quite work.
What is my face shape?
ever put on a pair that looked perfect on display, only to look less so on your face? that's face shape doing its thing.
once you know yours, finding the right frame becomes instinctive. below, we've broken down the key face shapes — with frame recommendations and direct links to shop each one.
Plus, we’ve linked our top frame picks for each shape, so you can find the one—from the comfort of your couch.
square shaped face
characterised by a broad forehead, angular features, and a strong jawline. the goal is to soften those angles with curved silhouettes.
reach for round, oval, or cat-eye frames — slightly wider than your cheekbones and shorter in height for the most balanced result.
heart shaped face
wider at the brow, tapering toward a narrow chin — usually with standout cheekbones.
frames that add visual weight to the lower half of your face tend to be the most flattering — a swept cat-eye or oval shape works particularly well. if you want to draw
attention to your eyes and balance your features, these are a great place to start.
round shaped face
a softly rounded chin, with width and length that are roughly equal. angular frames create a beautiful contrast here — bold lines and geometric shapes can add
structure and length to the face.
rectangular, geometric, or cat-eye styles are worth exploring, though the most important thing is finding a pair that feels like you.
What is my face size?
frame width is measured in millimetres, and matching it to your face width ensures a
comfortable, proportional fit every time.
To correctly measure your face, start by looking directly into your mirror. hold a ruler or tape measure horizontally across your face from temple to temple. note your measurement in millimetres.
narrow sized face
if your measurements are 129mm or smaller, shop for frames below 50mm.
Medium Sized Face
If your measurements fall between 130mm - 139mm, shop for frames between 50mm - 54mm.
Wide Sized Face
If your measurements are 140mm or bigger, shop for frames above 55mm.
How do i measure my eyewear?
By now, it should be clear that knowing your face shape is very helpful when it comes to selecting eyewear. Combining your newfound knowledge with the measurements of your glasses will set you up for success. The below will highlight and help you do just that.
Here’s what you need to know…
the frame width:
the frame width is the horizontal measurement of the front-facing frame from the furthest point on either side.
the lens height:
the lens height is the vertical distance between the lowest and tallest point of your lens, just before the rim of the frame.
the lens width:
The lens width is the horizontal measurements of one of your lenses at its widest points. This is the most important measurement to ensure that your lenses fit your eyes.
the bridge:
the bridge width is the distance between your two lenses, measured from the innermost point on each lens. A proper bridge width will make for a secure, comfortable fit on your nose.
Temple Size (Arms):
Temple length is the length of your glasses’ arms. It’s the distance between the tip of the arm to where it meets the frame.
unique code:
All these measurements, excluding the frame width, are typically found in the arm of the glasses. Lens width (54), bridge (18), and temple size (145)
