Comfort-first optical picks - Laura Ashley eyewear
Quick answer: match your current size, then fine-tune. Keep the bridge close to your best-fitting pair and adjust lens width by 1-2 mm for look and balance.
The collection leans practical: frames arrive with demo lenses; your optician fits your prescription. You’ll see clean fronts, smooth finishes, and a relaxed, composed read on the face. The Laura Ashley collection favors calm color stories that feel easy to wear across a full day.
Fit comes first
Start with measurements you already wear. A closer bridge resists sliding; a slightly wider lens relaxes front pressure. Take two nearby sizes and snap daylight photos to see how each sits - the more stable one usually wins through a full day.
Materials and feel
Hand-polished acetate brings presence with smooth edges; metal builds keep weight down and allow subtle nose tuning when pads are used. Prefer fewer adjustments? Fixed-bridge acetate often feels set-and-forget. Want a quick primer before you compare? Skim our eyeglass materials guide for a fast refresher on frame materials.
Face shape, made simple
Contrast is a quick cheat: angular frames sharpen soft features; rounded edges calm strong lines. Keep total width near your cheek line, then fine-tune the bridge for comfort. Laura Ashley frames often add a gentle lift at the outer edge without turning up the volume.

FAQ
Are these Laura Ashley glasses authentic?
We sell authentic Laura Ashley products. Check each product page for model details and specifications; if you prefer extra peace of mind, review our return policy before you buy.
How do I pick the right size in Laura Ashley eyeglasses?
Use a pair you already wear as your baseline. Match lens width within 1-2 mm and keep the bridge close for stability. Compare two nearby sizes at home to feel the difference fast.
Do Laura Ashley frames suit round or angular faces?
Both can work. Contrast helps: angular shapes sharpen softer features; rounded edges calm strong lines. Keep front width near your cheek line and fine-tune the bridge for comfort.
What do numbers like 51-17-135 mean on Laura Ashley frames?
They’re millimeters: lens width, bridge width, and temple length. Start close to a size that already fits you, then nudge lens width or bridge up or down for stability.
Are Laura Ashley eyeglasses lightweight?
Many metal or mixed builds read lighter on the face, while acetate adds presence and color depth. If you want the lightest feel, look for metal fronts or rimless half-rims.
Do Laura Ashley frames include a case or pouch?
Listings typically include a protective case or pouch - check the “What’s included” note on each product page. Contents can vary by model and restock.
How should I compare two Laura Ashley shapes at home?
Try one narrower and one slightly wider front. Take daylight photos from a few angles and note bridge stability. The frame that looks centered and stays put usually feels better all day.
Do Laura Ashley frames work for petite fits?
Yes, several models read narrow to narrow-medium. Match your current lens width and look for closer bridges for extra stability on smaller nose bridges.
Can I get prescription lenses in these Laura Ashley frames?
Yes. Frames are supplied with demo lenses; your optician will fit your prescription lenses. Bring the size (e.g., 51-17-135) to streamline the visit.
How do I care for Laura Ashley eyeglasses?
Rinse dust before wiping, store in a protective case or pouch, and ask your optician for occasional temple and pad adjustments. Avoid high heat to protect acetates and finishes.
