How do I measure my sunglasses?
Itβs time to understand the different measurements of glasses.Β
Did you know? Sizes are often marked on the inside of the temple.
Measurements are calculated in millimeters (mm). A good way to compare these measurements to your face shape is to measure the distance in between your temples. You can easily do this (or have a friend help) by holding a straight ruler to your face in the mirror. Most temple to temple measurements run from 5 to 7 inches long. The average for men is 5 ΒΎβ (145 mm); for women it is 5 ΒΌβ (133 mm) or 5 Β½β (139 mm).
For those with smaller faces (4β up to 5β temple to temple), we recommend to purchase frame sizes up to 50mm.Β
Those who measure between 5β to 5.5β temple to temple will want to go between 51mm and 55mm.
Finally, 5.5β and above shouldnβt get frames smaller than 56mm. 56mm and above is your best bet.
