Quick answer: match your current size, then fine-tune.
Start with the measurements you already wear and keep the bridge near your baseline; widen or narrow lens width by 1–2 mm to see how the look settles. For low-bridge glasses that don’t slip, choose a closer bridge or adjustable silicone pads, then raise pad height slightly and set a mild toe-in for even contact. If your face is narrow, do a quick mm check against your best-fitting pair and tweak overall width or temple angle slightly.
Material feel without fuss
Acetate brings smooth edges and color depth; metal feels airy and allows nose-pad tuning on many styles. If you prefer presence without weight, mixed builds balance both.

FAQ
Are Paul Smith glasses authentic?
Yes - ModaFrames is an authorized retailer for Paul Smith. You’re shopping genuine Paul Smith frames with the build and finish quality the brand is known for. Pair that assurance with your usual size to compare fits confidently at home.
How do I pick the right size in Paul Smith eyeglasses?
Use a pair you already wear as your baseline. Match lens width within 1-2 mm and keep the bridge close for stability. Try two nearby sizes to feel differences quickly, then check where the bridge sits in daylight photos for a calm, balanced read.
Do Paul Smith frames work for a narrow face?
Yes. Start near your best-fitting lens width and stay on the narrower side of the mm range. Keep the bridge steady for stability and test one step wider if temples pinch. A quick narrow-face mm comparison against your current pair is the fastest way to decide.
Which Paul Smith shapes suit round or angular faces?
Contrast is a quick cheat: angular frames sharpen soft features; rounded edges calm strong lines. Keep the overall width close to your cheek line, then fine-tune the bridge so the front rests steady without sliding or pinching through a full day.
Can I put my prescription in Paul Smith frames?
Yes. Frames ship with demo lenses; your optician fits your exact prescription and can fine-tune the temples for comfort. Matching your current size first helps the adjustment go faster and keeps the front stable during long wear.
What materials do Paul Smith frames use?
You’ll see smooth acetate for color depth, airy metal for lighter feel, and mixed builds that balance both. Pick by comfort first, then finish. If you need extra nose tuning, choose styles with pads and keep the bridge close to your baseline.
How do I stop glasses from slipping on a low bridge?
Choose a closer bridge or frames with adjustable pads for quick stability. If the sides feel tight after you fix slipping, widen lens width by 1 mm to relax temple pressure while keeping the nose fit steady. Test two nearby sizes to compare.
What helps with temple pressure after a few hours?
Keep the bridge where it holds steady, then step lens width up by 1-2 mm to ease the squeeze. An optician can relax temple angle slightly, which often removes hot spots. A quick at-home A-B try-on will show the difference within minutes.
Do Paul Smith eyeglasses run small or true to size?
Most read true to size when matched to a pair you already wear. Compare lens width within 1-2 mm and keep the bridge similar for stability. If you prefer a roomier look, step one width up; for a tidier profile, step one down and watch the bridge placement.
What comes with Paul Smith frames?
Listings typically include a protective case or pouch. Check the “What’s included” note on each product page to confirm accessories for that style, then compare two nearby sizes to choose the fit you’ll want to wear most days.
