What is Frame Size?
Frame size refers to the horizontal width of the sunglasses, measured between the center of the left and right hinge (see image). Our sunglasses come in a variety of sizes, categorized as Small, Medium, and Large in the chart below.
How Do I Know the Right Size for Me?
The best way to determine your ideal size is to measure a pair of sunglasses you already own and that fit you well. Here's what to do:
- Grab a ruler.
- Place the ruler horizontally across the front of the sunglasses, aligning it with the center of the left and right hinges (see image).
- Measure the distance in millimeters (mm).
- Consider a tolerance range of +/- 4mm. This means if your measurement falls within 4mm of a size category, you can go with either size depending on your preference for a snugger or looser fit.

Other Measurements:
The size guide above focuses on the most crucial measurements for fit. However, some sunglasses may also include additional details on the inside of the temple arm (see image):
Temple Length: This might be explicitly labeled as "temple length" or denoted with numbers indicating the total length from hinge to tip.
Bridge Width: This might be labeled as "bridge" or displayed with numbers indicating the distance between the lenses.
Lens Height: This might be less common but could be included with numbers specifying the vertical lens measurement.
Tips for Choosing the Right Size:
Consider your face shape: Smaller frames generally work better for narrow faces, while larger frames can balance out wider features.
Try before you buy: Whenever possible, try on sunglasses in person to ensure a comfortable and flattering fit.
