PROS & CONS OF OVERSIZED GLASSES
Big glasses are popular with Hollywood celebrities, models, and social media stars. Trendy and fun, large frames can anchor an entire look. Here are several reasons to consider this style:
There can be drawbacks to wearing oversized glasses, including:
Are Oversized Glasses Right for Me?
Since they come in all shapes and colors, anyone can look good in large eyeglasses.
Finding the right pair depends on two things:
Face shape: People with square faces often look good in round frames, while people with round faces usually look best in rectangular frames. Learn more about which frame shape is best for your face.
Bridge and temple measurements: Oversized glasses are supposed to look big in proportion to your face; they shouldn’t be sliding down your nose. If you have a pair of glasses handy, check the temple arms for three numbers. The first is the lens width, the second is the bridge distance, and the third is the temple length. You need new glasses with bridge and temple measurements close to what’s been comfortable in the past. The lens will be wider, since that’s the whole point! No glasses?
Your eye doctor can take measurements during your next appointment.
