Learning how to measure your face
We know that figuring out your face shape can sometimes be confusing. There are different types and pretty often the differences between one and another are very subtle.
But finding out your exact type can be very helpful in the long run. We know that, when they’re matched correctly, computer glasses can completely redefine your professional or personal image and style.
Oval Faces are easy to identify because they are longer than they are wide, with no sharp angles.
OVAL
Oval Faces are easy to identify because they are longer than they are wide, with no sharp angles.
ROUND
Round faces are as wide as they are long, with the forehead tending to be almost as wide as the jawline.
SQUARE
Square faces are as wide as they are long with a similar width of forehead and jawline.
RECTANGLE/OBLONG
Similar to and often confused with oval, oblong faces are slightly longer and thinner, with an elegantly slim jawline.
DIAMOND
Prominent cheekbones are one of the key features of this type, characterized by a narrower forehead and chin.

Finding the perfect computer glasses for your face shape
Finding the perfect computer glasses for your face shape
We are to help you choose the most complimentary glasses that perfectly match your face. When it comes to identifying the best frames; a general rule, opposites always attract!
For example, for rounder faces, rectangular frames are best. On the other hand, curvy frames are perfect for angular bone structures.
A very symmetrical and balanced face with full cheeks and a rounded chin, which works well with angular frames that highlight the eyes and the cheekbones by adding structure.
> Frames to explore: Square and rectangular frames with bold colors will stylize this type of face and accentuate the eyes. Don’t be afraid to experiment with wider and more colorful frames. If you like colors, we have a specially created wide selection of tones to choose from!
Understanding frame sizes
Understanding frame sizes
Because we know every face is unique, we have specified the size of our frames in the description of every model with three consecutive numbers: lens width, bridge width and temple length. These numbers will always be indicated in millimeters.
Example: Size: 50-20-135 (Lens Width, Bridge Width and Temple Length)
This measurement is always taken horizontally and it indicates the length of the frame that will hold the lens. This is a great factor to take into account depending on the distance of your eyes from the bridge of your nose.
The bridge refers to the part that connects both lenses and that sits on top of your nose.
The bridge width is a horizontal measurement that will give you important information about
the distance between both lenses. Ideally, the bridge should stay as close as possible to the
top of your nose.
The temple length refers to the measurement of the arm from the lens frame that reaches
back behind your ears.
How to choose the right bridge fit
How to choose the right bridge fit
The way the glasses fit on your nose is a very important factor when choosing the perfect frame size. Ideally, you should be able to bend over and move your head comfortably without your glasses moving.
There are two common nose bridges to take into account:
Wide nose bridge: your perfect choice if your nose is wider and your eyes have a larger separation between them. Look for measurements starting at 20mm.

20 mm: Chamberi Collection and Le Marais Collection
22 mm: Shoreditch
20 mm: Williamsburg Collections
Narrow nose bridge: go for this type if your eyes are closer together and your nose is narrow. The numbers to look for are 18mm and 19mm.

19 mm: Kreuzberg Collection
Here's a trick:
If your old glasses sat too high on your nose, that means the bridge was too small; in contrast, if your glasses were constantly sliding down your nose, it means the bridge was too wide.
