How do I know if a style will fit me?

The overall width of the glasses is the most useful starting point. We measure our glasses from the middle of one hinge to the middle of the other, which captures the overall width as it fits your face.

Eyeglass measurements printed on the inside arm of your glasses include the lens width, the bridge width, and the temple length. These are necessary measurements for making glasses and helpful for refining the fit of your glasses, but they don't tell the overall width of the glasses.

Every style page shows the style's measurements next to the model's photo below the "add to cart" button, and there's a table of all frame measurements if you'd rather compare styles side by side. To compare those numbers against a pair you already own, here's how to measure glasses.

If the width you measure doesn't line up with a style exactly, you have more room than you'd think. Most of our frames can be adjusted wider or narrower. Metal frames, and styles with metal arms or a metal front, are the easiest to adjust. How much adjustment you're comfortable with is up to you, so use the measurement to find a width that looks right on you, knowing the fit itself can be refined afterward.
