Quick answer: match lens width first, then fine-tune bridge for stability
Keep the lens width within a couple of millimeters of your current pair; a tighter bridge resists sliding, while a slightly wider lens relaxes front pressure. Temple lengths around 135–140 mm suit many daily fits — your optician can adjust them slightly for lighter pressure behind the ears. Frames arrive with demo lenses; your optician fits your prescription.
Contrast is a quick cheat for face shape
Angular frames sharpen soft features; rounded edges calm strong lines. If you like a bit of lift, upswept cat-eye shapes add definition without overwhelming your face. Balance proportions by matching width to your cheek line, then fine-tune the bridge for comfort. Hand-polished acetate holds color beautifully and feels smooth against your skin, while metal builds with pads help dial the nose fit for all-day ease.

FAQ
Are Isaac Mizrahi frames true to size?
Yes, lens widths and bridges match standard mm sizing. Start with your current measurements and adjust temple length at an optician if needed. Most styles run narrow-to-medium, so compare the triplet (lens-bridge-temple) on each product page for a confident pick.
What materials are used in Isaac Mizrahi eyewear?
Hand-polished acetate dominates the collection, offering smooth edges and rich color depth. A few styles mix metal temples with acetate fronts for lighter weight and adjustable nose pads. Both materials hold up well with regular cleaning and gentle handling.
Do these frames suit narrow or wide faces?
Lens widths typically range 50–54 mm, which suits narrow-to-medium faces. If your current frames measure 52 mm or less, you'll find balanced coverage here. For broader faces, step up to 54 mm and pair with a roomier bridge for comfort.
Can I get prescription lenses fitted?
Absolutely. Frames ship with demo lenses; take them to any optician to fit your prescription. Most styles accept single-vision, progressive, or blue-light lenses. Confirm lens thickness with your optician if you have a strong prescription.
How do I choose between cat-eye and rectangular shapes?
Cat-eye profiles add subtle lift and soften angular jawlines, while rectangular shapes offer balanced coverage and calm rounder features. Try matching your face width to the frame width first, then pick the shape that contrasts your natural lines for a polished look.
What's the return policy if the fit isn't right?
ModaFrames offers a 30-day return window. Keep the original packaging and check the return policy page for step-by-step instructions. Most customers compare lens width and bridge measurements before ordering to minimize fit surprises.
Are these sunglasses suitable for driving?
Yes, darker tints reduce harsh light for comfortable daytime driving. Check each product page for lens details and UV coverage. If you prefer extra glare control on highways or water, explore polarized options in our wider sunglasses selection.
