WHAT IS MY FACE SIZE?

 

Just like the eyewear that we adore, our faces come in many shapes and sizes too. That’s why it’s important to determine the size of your face before you start your eyewear selection journey. Luckily, measuring your face size is easy to do and will help avoid any possible headaches that may come from selecting eyewear that is not well suited for you.

Follow our recommended sizing guide below, and it will take the guessing game out of your next online purchase and get you that much closer to finding the perfect pair. All you have to do is determine the size of your face, and our guide will help you do the rest!

To correctly measure your face, start by looking directly into your mirror. Hold the length of a ruler or measuring tape horizontally across your face from one temple to the other. When you take down your measurements, be sure to use millimetres, as this is the metric used to determine eyewear sizing.
