About Your Nose

The shape of your nose will affect how your reading glasses fit you. Plastic frames with formed bridges have less flexibility in terms of fit than metal frames with adjustable nose pads.

Usually, very narrow or wide noses are best fit with frames with adjustable nose pads but it’s also just a matter of personal preference.

Just A Few More Things

Frame Size

RULE: Keep readers in scale with your face size and stature. Frames should extend to the widest part of your face, even slightly beyond.

BREAK THE RULE: Make it small or oversized for an edgy trend look.

Frame Shape

RULE: Frame shape should contrast your face shape. Angles slim and curves soften. Change your readers, change your looks.

BREAK THE RULE: It’s your look, own it.

Frame Color

RULE: Color can be used to accentuate your best features. Highlight your eyes, hair color, or enhance your complexion or just brighten up your everyday look.

BREAK THE RULE: Switch it out to suit your mood.

Truth is, you are getting older; you're looks have changed as has just about everything else about you. All the things that you did that made you who you are today, influenced your style. There’s a story behind your style.

Readers are the most noticeable way to say something about you… because people see your face first.

LET YOUR LOOK TELL YOUR STORY.
