How to Choose Glasses for Wide Faces

Do you have trouble finding a stylish pair of glasses that don’t feel too tight or narrow on your face? This may be because you have a wide face, meaning that you require a wider frame width when shopping for glasses. Wide faces are identified as round faces that are wider than they are long. Your chin may also be a bit rounder, and cheeks fuller. We’re here to help you along the way to finding the perfect pair of wide frames.

Find Your Face Shape

Here are some things to consider when searching for glasses for wide-shaped faces:

• Proper measurements. Wide frames will measure 138 mm or more when measured from temple-to-temple. If you’re shopping online, you want to make sure your frames meet these measurements, otherwise you may end up with glasses that are too narrow.
• Comfort is key. Wearing a narrow or medium-width frame when you actually require a wide or extra-wide frame can be very uncomfortable and distracting throughout your day. You always want your frames to be wider than the width of your face.
• Have fun! Yesglasses offers hundreds of styles of frames and lenses to choose from. Take a look at our Wide & Extra-Wide Frames Collection
