Fit & sizing tips for quick wins
If frames slide or pinch, look for spring-hinge temples for gentle tension and choose bridge designs with adjustable pads to fine-tune comfort. Narrow or petite faces usually pair well with slimmer rectangles or soft rounds, while broader faces benefit from slightly wider end pieces for balance.
Lens note: Eyeglasses come with demo lenses (non-prescription) so your optician can fit your Rx easily.
Face-shape pointers to speed decisions
Start with proportion: keep your frame width close to cheekbone width, then play with contrast. Angular faces soften with rounded edges; round faces sharpen with subtle angles. For a confident lift, try tasteful cat-eyes. For a quick primer before you browse, see our face-shape tips, then explore shape-led edits like cat-eye profiles.

FAQ
Do Cerruti 1881 frames come ready for my prescription?
Yes. These eyeglass frames ship with demo lenses, which your optician replaces with your prescription lenses. This makes choosing the frame first simple, then fitting lenses locally for optimal vision and alignment. Bring your PD and any lens preferences to your appointment.
How do I pick a size that fits without trying them on?
Match the measurements on a pair you already like. Prioritize lens width and bridge width, then check temple length. If you’re between sizes, spring hinges add comfort and a touch of flexibility. Our face-shape guide also helps narrow shape options before you buy.
Are these frames lightweight for all-day wear?
Many styles focus on comfort with slim acetates or fine metals. Look for notes like spring hinges and adjustable nose pads to fine-tune fit. If you’re sensitive at the bridge, consider pad-equipped metal frames for micro adjustments throughout the day.
What if the color I want doesn’t suit my skin tone?
Neutral tones like black, tortoise, and crystal tend to be versatile. If you’re unsure, start with a subtle tortoise that blends warm and cool notes. You can exchange by returning within 30 days in new condition and selecting a different finish after.
How do I care for acetate or metal frames so they last?
Rinse with lukewarm water, pat dry, then use a microfiber cloth. Avoid hot cars and harsh cleaners to prevent warping and finish wear. Ask your optician for occasional tune-ups to keep screws snug and temples aligned for consistent comfort.
