Unsure about what size frame will suit you best? See our guide to help you find the perfect fit. How do I find the measurements of my frame?

All our frames feature their measurements, engraved discreetly, on the inner (right) temple. You can find lens width (mm), bridge fit (mm) and temple arm length (mm). For example, 50 □ 21 (145) indicates a lens width of 50mm, bridge width of 21mm and temple arm length of 145mm. Alongside this, we have our Frame Finder tool online. With an integrated measurement filter, you can search for all frames which are the best fit for you

Is this frame the right one for me?

At Cutler and Gross we think your unique personality should shine through your frames. We believe we have something for everyone out there; from bold mavericks to quiet, reflective thinkers. The first question to ask yourself is: how does this frame make me feel?

Beyond this, the following practical tips will help you determine whether a frame is the right one for you

• Your frame should feel, above all, comfortable, especially for long usage
• Your eyebrows generally should not be inside the frame; if this is the case, they may be too big for you (unless that was the desired effect you wanted). We also recommend that your pupils should be in the centre of the lenses
• Your frame should never hinder your smile. When showing those pearly whites, your frame shouldn’t move or be displaced from your face by your cheek movement
• Another key point to remember is that at no point should your frames slide down your nose. This will indicate that the bridge of that particular frame isn’t quite right for you

Can I get my frame to fit better?

Cutler and Gross offer complimentary frame adjustments for optimal fit

These include:

• Adjustments to the temples, whether they need to be tightened or loosened to meet the requirements of the side of your face. We can also adjust temples slightly to give more or less length for a better fit behind the ears
• Please resist the temptation to adjust your Cutler and Gross frames yourself as they can snap when adjusted without the proper technique
• We can also adjust crooked frames, whether that be the bridge or the temples

If the above adjustments still don’t do the job, we are also able to add nose pads to the majority of our frames, again to help the frame sit up and away from the nose and improve the comfort and fit

Please be aware that not quite every frame will be able to adjust to meet your face specifications. However, at Cutler and Gross we celebrate the unique and alternative so are likely to be always able to find a solution for all faces, great and small

What is a nose bridge?

The bridge of the nose is the slope between the nose and the eyes. People with lower nose bridges tend to have wider faces or higher cheekbones; this is because the bridge of their nose sits at the same level or slightly lower than their pupils

What is the difference between a standard fit frame and a Global fit?

Our Global fit frames are a better fit for anyone who has a flatter bridge. The way the frame fits differently to that of a regular fit is that the nose projection on an acetate frame is a little longer and slightly flatter. This helps to push the frame off the cheek and away from the eyelashes. Generally the base curve of a Global fit frame will be flatter, again to prevent the eyelashes rubbing the back surface of the lens
