The Ultimate Sunglasses Fitting Guide
Everything a good fitting covers — bridge, temple, pantoscopic tilt — and why it matters more than the shape.
Four measurements, one frame
A frame is described by four numbers: lens width, bridge width, temple length and lens height. They are printed inside the temple arm of every pair you already own, which makes the pair you like the fastest way to find another that fits.
Where a fitting goes beyond the numbers
The adjustments are what turn a frame that fits into a frame you forget you are wearing: the pantoscopic tilt that sets the lens angle, the temple bend that stops the frame sliding, the nose pads that carry the weight without leaving marks.
- Read the four numbers inside your current temple arm
- The frame should not touch your cheeks when you smile
- The temple should bend behind the ear, not on it
"Shape is what makes someone try a frame on. Fit is what makes them keep it."
Sophia Lin
Come back when it slips
Frames move over a year of being taken on and off with one hand. Re-adjustment takes ten minutes and is free on anything bought from us, and it is the difference between a pair that lives on your face and one that lives in a drawer.
