Frame Size Guide

We know choosing frames can be exciting but also presents plenty of questions – especially when it comes to how they will look on your face.

Of course selection of frames is a very personal choice and whilst there are no definitive rule, below are some extra tips to assist you with your selection:

• Most people will find that frames that follow their brow-line will best frame/suit their face;
• You can be bold or more neutral in your choice of frame colour and material dependent on personal choice; and
• Handy hint - measure an existing frame you enjoy wearing as a guide for making a new pair selection.

To further assist, we’ve created a general guide to our frame sizes, so that selecting new frames can be simpler based on what best fits your face.
