Your fit guide for Marilyn Monroe eyewear
Looking for a feminine, face-flattering frame that feels good all day? This collection leans into cat eye lift and clean square lines while keeping comfort front and center. Frames arrive with demo lenses; your prescription is fitted by your optician.
Fit and size - quick wins
Most styles here wear as an easy medium fit on women’s faces. As a simple rule: cat eyes visually lift oval and heart faces; squares add a crisp outline that can balance round features. Typical p10–p90 across sampled models clusters around 53–54 mm lenses, 14–16 mm bridge, and 135–140 mm temple, with a few outliers outside that span.
If you prefer a softer hug at the temples, spring-hinge frames offer gentle flexibility that helps the frame stay put without pinching. For a broader or narrower head, adjust the temple curve at an optical shop for a personalized feel. When you want to see more options by style and width, explore Women’s eyeglasses.
Low-bridge comfort tips
If frames tend to slide, choose models with slightly higher nose geometry or add discreet stick-on pads to raise contact points. Adjust pad height with a mild toe-in at the pads; keep temples level and add a soft ear curl for gentle hold behind the ear.
Materials and daily care
Acetate delivers rich color and a smooth handfeel; mixed metal-and-acetate builds can lighten the front while keeping that vintage-inspired contour. Rinse occasionally with lukewarm water and a drop of mild soap, then pat dry. A simple case or pouch is included to keep your frames protected in your bag.

FAQ
Are these frames ready for prescription lenses?
Yes. The frames come with clear demo lenses installed so you can see the shape on your face. Bring the frame to your preferred optical shop, and your optician will replace the demos with your prescription lenses and adjust the fit for comfort.
Which face shapes suit Marilyn Monroe cat eye eyeglasses?
Cat eye lift adds definition to oval and heart faces and can create a gentle upward effect at the cheekbones. If your face is round, a slightly wider or sharper upsweep helps balance curves while keeping the look soft and feminine.
Do these frames use spring hinges?
Many models in this collection feature spring hinges for a flexible, gently hugging feel. That small bit of give helps with long wear and everyday movement. If spring hinges matter to you, check the specifications on the product page before choosing.
How do I read sizes like 53-16-140?
Those three numbers are lens width, bridge width, and temple length in millimeters. Most styles here fall around a medium fit. If you have a low bridge or need more temple length, ask an optician to fine-tune the nose area and ear bends for you.
What if eyeglasses slide on a low bridge?
Choose frames whose nose area sits a touch higher on the bridge, and consider clear stick-on pads to raise contact and add grip. A quick professional adjustment of the temple curve also increases hold without pressure points on the sides.
Are these Marilyn Monroe eyeglasses authentic?
Yes - ModaFrames is an authorized retailer. We source frames through trusted channels and provide original product details so you can shop with confidence. If you need assistance, our team can help review measurements and materials before you order.
What materials are used in this collection?
You will see rich acetate for color depth and polish, plus select metal details or mixed builds that lighten the front. These combinations keep the vintage character while improving balance and comfort for everyday wear.
Can you install prescription lenses for me?
Frames ship with demo lenses so fit can be checked at home. Your optician handles prescription lens selection, measurements, and installation, and can also adjust the frame for comfort and alignment on your face.
How do I reduce temple pressure during long wear?
Ask an optician to add a slight outward flare near the ear bend so the arms rest without pinching. Spring-hinge models can feel gentler over time, and a balanced bridge fit helps keep weight from shifting to the sides.
Do Marilyn Monroe acetate frames need special care?
Rinse with lukewarm water and a drop of mild soap, then pat dry. Store in the included case or pouch to avoid surface marks. Avoid high heat or harsh chemicals to keep the finish looking clear and the colors rich.
