Take a front selfie

Look straight into the camera with your whole face in the frame and your hair as you usually wear it. Take off any glasses you have on. Even lighting works best.

Oversized glasses have lenses that reach from the brow down to the top of the cheeks, usually in a rounded-square shape and often in clear or champagne acetate. They were a 1970s and 1980s look and are worn as a statement frame today.

There is a limit to oversized: the frame can be wider and deeper than usual, but the temples should still run straight back to your ears without bowing outward, and the lenses should not rest on your cheeks when you smile.

FAQ

How big is too big?

If the temples bow outward, the frame is too wide; if the lenses touch your cheeks when you smile, it is too deep.

Do oversized glasses need special lenses?

Big lenses with a strong prescription get thick and heavy at the edges, so ask for high-index lenses if your prescription is high.
