Fit Guide: Choosing the Right Frames For You

Not sure which frames will fit you best? Start with a pair of glasses or sunglasses you already own that fit comfortably. Their measurements are the easiest way to compare frames online.

Or, for an easier place to start, shop our readers by overall fit.

Start with a pair of frames you already own

We recommend starting with what you already love. Grab a pair of sunnies or glasses that fit you well - that’s your best reference point for shape and size.

  • Check the inside of the arm on your current glasses. Most glasses have three numbers printed inside the temple arm, for example 50–20–140. These usually represent the lens width, bridge width and temple length.
  • If you can't find the measurements, you can measure a pair that already fits you well and use those dimensions as your reference.
  • Use these numbers to match up with the fit guide on each of our product pages - and you’ll be looking sharp in no time.
Key Measurements

Every pair of our reading glasses includes key measurements to help you compare frame size and find a comfortable fit.

FW - Total Frame Width: The overall width of the frame from one outer edge to the other.

LW - Lens Width: The horizontal width of each lens at its widest point.

BW - Bridge Width: The distance between the lenses across the nose.

TL - Temple Length: The length of the arms from hinge to tip.

For overall fit, total frame width is particularly useful. Compare it with a pair you already own that feels comfortable.

Each pair of reading glasses on our website shows these measurements on the product page. Compare to your existing glasses or your favourite frames or sunglasses.
