Start with fit: pick the size that feels effortless
Comfort comes first—choose a lens width that matches your face width, then check bridge and temple numbers for balance. Frames arrive with demo lenses; your optician fits your prescription.
Fit & size guide
Look at the three numbers inside the temple (lens-bridge-temple). A practical starting point for many faces is a lens width in the typical 49-55 mm range; outliers exist by design. If you’re searching “Alexander McQueen eyeglasses sizing mm”, compare those numbers to a pair you already like. For narrow faces, lean toward smaller lens widths and slimmer temples for less slide.
Low-bridge comfort without slip
If glasses tend to rest on your cheeks or slip, seek frames with deeper nose pads or adjustable pad arms (when available), or a slightly smaller bridge number. Our concise Face-shape guide also helps you align frame lines with your features so weight sits higher and more securely. This is a smart path if you’re after “low bridge glasses that don’t slip”.
Temple pressure - small fixes
Feeling squeeze near the ears? Consider frames with spring hinges on certain models for a gentler grip, and avoid temples that are too short for your head width. Subtle heat adjustments from an optician can relieve pressure points while keeping alignment true.
Materials & care
Acetate feels warm to the touch and allows richer colors; metal reads minimal and airy. Mixed builds combine both for balance. Store your frames in the case or pouch between wears to protect finish and alignment. If you’re new to designer optics, the Eyewear FAQ covers care, lens basics and quick troubleshooting.

FAQ
Are Alexander McQueen eyeglasses heavy?
Weight varies by model and material. Acetate can feel more substantial, while metal frames tend to wear lighter. If you’re sensitive to weight, compare lens width and temple length to a pair you already like and look for spring hinges that ease side pressure over long days.
How do I choose the right size in mm?
Use the three numbers inside the temple (lens-bridge-temple) and match them to a comfortable pair you own. Many faces are happy around a typical 49-55 lens width, but let bridge and temple numbers fine-tune comfort. When in doubt, start small and adjust up.
Do these frames come with nose pads?
It depends on the specific model and material. Metal styles commonly feature pad arms; many acetates use molded bridges. If you have a low bridge or glasses that slide, consider models with adjustable pads or a slightly smaller bridge number for a higher, steadier perch.
Can my optician fit prescription lenses into these frames?
Yes. Frames are supplied with demo lenses and are intended to be finished with your prescription by an optician. Bring your prescription and pupillary distance (PD); they’ll recommend lens materials and coatings based on your daily use.
Are the eyeglasses unisex?
Many shapes are designed for a broad range of faces. You’ll see some styles labeled for men or women, but the real key is fit: lens width for face width, bridge for nose shape, and temple length for stability. Choose the silhouette you love and the numbers that feel right.
What if my glasses leave marks on my nose?
Marks usually mean too much weight on the bridge or a mismatch in pad placement. Try a model with adjustable pads, slightly reduce the bridge size, or ask an optician for a small pad-height tweak. Lighter materials or thinner rims can also help over time.
Are these authentic designer frames?
Yes—authorized retailer. ModaFrames sources genuine Alexander McQueen eyewear through approved channels, with original branding and packaging. If you ever have questions about authenticity, contact our support team before lensing so we can help verify details.
Do they include a case or pouch?
Most listings note what’s included. Expect an original case or protective pouch on many models to keep frames safe in transit and between wears. Check the product page under “What’s included” or “Frame Specifications” for the exact set for that model.
Which shapes work for a narrow face?
Smaller rectangles and ovals are great starting points. Aim for lens widths toward the lower end of your comfort range and temples that reach past your ears without squeezing. If you’re comparing options, search for “narrow face eyeglasses fit” and match those numbers to your favorite pair.
What if my preferred size is unavailable?
Selections rotate, and popular sizes can change quickly. Consider a close size neighbor (±1-2 mm lens or bridge) if the silhouette is right, or check back as assortments refresh. An optician can also improve fit with small, reversible adjustments during lens installation.
