When it comes to finding the perfect pair of sunglasses, size matters. If you've ever found yourself in a Goldilocks cycle of trying on frames that are too tight or too loose, you’re not alone. For most people, medium sunglasses are the ideal solution, offering a balanced fit that's neither too small nor too large. Let's dive into what makes medium sunglasses the go-to option for so many, and how Melonz ensures your frames feel like they were made just for you.
What Does “Medium” Really Mean?
Medium sunglasses are designed for head circumferences around 23 inches and typically feature frame widths between 131-139mm. But what does that mean in practical terms? Essentially, if a pair of sunglasses feels comfortable without being too tight or too loose, and the arms rest smoothly over your ears without pinching, you’ve likely found a medium fit.
A quick and easy test: place a credit card vertically along the center of your nose. If the edge of the card roughly aligns with the outer corner of your eye, medium frames will be your perfect match.
Why Choose Medium Sunglasses?
The versatility of medium sunglasses cannot be overstated. They’re crafted to fit the majority of face shapes and sizes, ensuring that comfort and style are never compromised. With medium frames, you get the best of both worlds: frames that aren’t overwhelming like larger ones, but also not so tight that they feel constrictive.
Here’s why medium sunglasses might be perfect for you:
Comfort Above All
The key to a great pair of sunglasses is forgetting you're even wearing them. Medium frames strike that perfect balance between snug and spacious, ensuring your sunglasses feel light and comfortable on your face all day long.
Custom Temple Lengths
Medium frames aren’t just about the width from hinge to hinge—they also come with custom temple lengths to ensure the arms of the sunglasses rest comfortably over your ears, making them perfect for all-day wear without needing constant adjustment.
Perfect Bridge Fit
The bridge is where your sunglasses rest on your nose, and getting this measurement right is essential for both comfort and stability. Medium frames typically have a bridge width that comfortably suits most nose shapes, avoiding slipping or pinching.
The Science Behind the Fit: Why Size Matters
Why do sunglasses need to fit so precisely? A good fit ensures that your sunglasses don’t just look great but also stay in place during daily activities. With Melonz medium sunglasses, we’ve perfected this science by tailoring the width and length of our frames to match the natural proportions of your face. Our frames are designed to sit perfectly across your face, while the custom-fit arms provide a snug yet flexible fit over your ears.
It’s not just about the aesthetic—improperly fitted sunglasses can cause discomfort, headaches, or constant slipping. Medium-sized sunglasses eliminate these problems by offering a “just-right” fit that hugs your face without squeezing it.
Finding Your Face Shape and Sunglasses Match
While medium sunglasses suit most face sizes, it’s important to find a style that complements your unique face shape. Here are a few guidelines to help you choose the best style:
- Oval Faces: Lucky you! An oval face works well with nearly any sunglass style, including bold shapes like aviators or cat-eyes.
- Round Faces: Opt for medium frames with more angular shapes to add structure and definition to your softer features.
- Square Faces: Soft, round sunglasses help balance out a strong jawline, providing a more harmonious look.
- Heart-Shaped Faces: Choose medium sunglasses with wider bottoms, like aviators, to create balance across your face.
Understanding Sunglass Measurements
If you’re shopping for medium sunglasses, understanding frame measurements can help narrow down your options. Here’s a breakdown of key measurements to look for:
- Frame Width: Medium sunglasses typically have a frame width between 131-139mm, measured from hinge to hinge. This measurement is crucial for ensuring the frames don’t feel too wide or too narrow on your face.
- Lens Width: Medium frames usually come with lens widths that fall in the 55-65mm range, providing ample coverage for your eyes without feeling oversized.
- Temple Length: The arms, or temples, of medium sunglasses generally range from 130-140mm, depending on the style, ensuring they sit comfortably on your ears.
Medium sunglasses are the ideal choice for those with head circumferences around 23 inches, offering a versatile and balanced fit for most face shapes.
