Face-shape guide

Which face is yours?

Pull your hair back and look straight into a mirror: which is widest — forehead, cheekbones or jaw? Choose the nearest shape. The face changes to match, and the frames that suit it move to the front of the shop.

Four numbers that tell you it fits

Every frame has its size printed on the inside of the arm. Hold your current pair next to these and you will know whether ours will fit.

A B C D 140 mm
  1. A

    Lens width

    The width of one lens in millimetres, usually between 45 and 56 — the first number on the arm.

  2. B

    Bridge

    The gap between the lenses, over your nose — the second number, usually 16 to 22.

  3. C

    Temple

    The length of the arm from hinge to tip, usually 135 to 150 — the last number.

  4. D

    Frame width

    The whole front, hinge to hinge. Compare it with a pair that fits you; within a few millimetres is a good sign.
