Why Eyebrow Fit Matters for Glasses
Glasses do more than help you see—they frame your face. And your eyebrows play a key role in how natural or awkward that frame looks.
Poorly fitting frames can sit too low (making your face look droopy) or too high (cutting across your brows). That’s especially true for people with wider faces, where standard-size glasses often distort both comfort and proportions.
General Guidelines: Where Should Glasses Sit on Your Eyebrows?
✔ Ideally: The Top of the Frame Should Align Slightly Below or Along the Brows
This ensures your eyebrows remain visible and expressive—important for both appearance and non-verbal communication.
❌ Avoid: Glasses That Cover or Cut Across Your Brows
This is a common issue with ill-fitting standard glasses, especially on wider faces. It throws off facial balance and makes glasses look “borrowed.”
Why Oversized Glasses Fit Better for Wide Faces
If you’ve ever struggled with frames that press into your temples or sit awkwardly on your nose bridge, you’re not alone.
Most “average-sized” glasses are made for head widths under 140mm. But many adults—especially men over 35—have wider heads or facial structures.
Oversized Glasses Solve Key Fit Issues:
-
Proper Width: Designed to accommodate head widths from 150mm to 165mm
-
Better Brow Clearance: No awkward gaps or overlap
-
Frame Proportions that Match Your Face—not too tight, not oversized in the wrong way
How to Know If Your Glasses Fit Your Eyebrows Correctly
1. Your Eyebrows Are Still Visible Above the Frame
If your brows are completely covered, your glasses are likely sitting too high or the lens height is too tall for your face.
2. The Frame Follows Your Brow Line Naturally
The upper edge of your glasses should gently follow the natural curve of your eyebrows—not fight against them.
3. There’s No Excessive Gap Between the Frame and Your Brows
This is especially important for oversized or wide-frame glasses, where gaps make the glasses appear loose or disproportionate.
Special Tips for Oversized & Large Frame Glasses Wearers
✓ Prioritize Frame Width First
Make sure your frame matches your head width (use a mirror or size chart if needed). At SizeGlasses, we offer frames ranging from 150mm–165mm in true width.
✓ Choose the Right Lens Height
Oversized doesn’t mean overly tall—ideal lens heights still leave your brows visible for natural expression.
✓ Mind the Nose Bridge
A poorly placed or tight nose bridge can shift the frame too high, cutting across your brows. Opt for wider bridge spacing if you have a wider nose.
Still Unsure If Oversized Frames Fit You Right?
You can always test your fit with our size guides or consult our support team.
Whether you’re shopping for oversized glasses, large frame glasses, or wide frame glasses, your eyebrows are a key signal for whether your fit is truly natural.
