The Art of the Fit

Achieving the perfect fit is essential to both optical precision and lasting comfort. Each Claire frame is defined by considered proportions, allowing you to select a silhouette that feels entirely personal.

The Anatomy of a Frame

Discreetly engraved on the inner temple of every pair, you will find three defining measurements that shape the structure and balance of the frame.

Lens Width
The horizontal diameter of a single lens. This measurement influences the visual field and determines the scale of the frame in relation to your features.

Bridge Width
The distance between the two lenses. This measurement defines how the frame rests on the bridge of the nose and plays a key role in overall comfort.

Temple Length
The length of the arms from hinge to the gentle curve behind the ear, ensuring the frame remains secure while feeling effortless to wear.

Determining Your Proportion

If you currently wear frames that feel comfortable, their measurements can serve as a reliable reference for your next selection.

Claire frames are offered in three refined proportions:

Petite Fit
Designed for narrower profiles and a lighter, more delicate presence.

Tailored Fit
A balanced and versatile proportion suited to a wide range of features.

Grand Fit
Created for broader profiles and a more substantial silhouette.

If your current frames do not display measurements, you may determine your ideal size by measuring the Total Width—the distance between the two inner hinges. A well-proportioned frame should rest lightly against the temples without pressure.

Harmony by Design

Selecting the right frame is an exercise in balance. The ideal silhouette subtly contrasts your natural features, creating effortless symmetry.

Round Silhouette
For faces with soft curves and balanced width, angular or structured frames introduce definition and architectural contrast.

Square Silhouette
For pronounced jawlines and strong features, rounded or oval frames soften edges and bring fluidity to the profile.

Oval Silhouette
Naturally balanced and versatile. Frames that align with the widest part of the face preserve this harmony, from bold geometries to classic rounds.

Heart Silhouette
With a broader forehead and refined chin, frames wider at the base or crafted in lighter tones balance visual weight and draw focus inward.

Long Silhouette
For elongated profiles with straight cheek lines, taller or oversized frames add width and restore proportion.

The Final Silhouette

A perfectly fitted frame should feel weightless. When your selection arrives, ensure your eyes are centered within the lenses and that the bridge sits flush without slipping. This precise alignment is the signature of a thoughtfully chosen Claire frame.
