Struggling With Glasses for Small Faces That Stay Put?
Head Marketing and Communications
If you’ve struggled to find the right size of eyeglasses for your small face, you’re not alone. I’ve been through it too, getting directed to the kids’ section at optical stores more times than I can count. And when buying online, the glasses would constantly slide down my nose because the frames were just too big. On the rare occasion I did find the right fit, the colours were usually childish, covered in cartoon characters, which definitely weren’t office-friendly.
Finding stylish, well-fitting glasses shouldn’t feel this difficult. Slipping frames, oversized designs, and a lack of choice can make shopping frustrating instead of fun. As someone who has experienced the same, I have found styles that can fit you. Let’s make slipping glasses a thing of the past.
Frame Features That Actually Fit
When you are shopping for stylish eyeglasses for a small face, here are a few things which can help you. It's not about picking small glasses, it’s about knowing the right features that make all the difference. Here’s what to keep an eye out for:
Narrow Bridge Width: This is key! A narrow bridge of eyeglasses frames will ensure the glasses are sitting perfectly on your nose.
Shorter Temple Arms: Longer temples can make you feel loose and uncomfortable. You can look for shorter arms that can hug behind your ears for a better fit.
Smaller Lens Width: I know oversized glasses are in trend, but they can overshadow your natural facial features. A smaller lens keeps the frame in proportion to your face and looks much more balanced.
Lightweight Material: Heavier material can slip off your face. Lightweight materials like acetate or titanium feel better and stay put longer.
Adjustable Nose Pads: These rubber nose pads let you customise the fit easily.
Frame Styles That Flatter Petite Faces
Cat-eye for lift and definition
The classic cat-eye frames can bring energy and definition to smaller faces. They are chic, bold and playful with the upswept shape. A perfect style for retro flair.
Style Tip: Pair them with a bold red lip and a silk scarf tied around your ponytail for that effortless Parisian look.
Round or oval for softer features
A gentle and balanced softness can be achieved with round or oval frames. These create a balanced focus to your natural facial features.
Style Tip: Match with a neutral-toned trench coat and a crossbody bag. A classic, clean, and minimalist chic style.
Rectangular for structure and balance
Looking to add a little edge? Rectangular frames bring structure to rounder faces and keep things sleek. Go for thin or half-rim versions for a lighter look.
Style Tip: Style them with gold hoop earrings and a sharp blazer for a smart, modern vibe.
Finding the Perfect Fit Glasses
Styling according to trend is good, but it should come with proper fit, comfort and function. Let’s make sure you are checking all the boxes before finalising your eyeglasses.
