Quick answer: start with your current size, then adjust by 1–2 mm.
Match the lens width you already wear and keep the bridge close to that baseline. If the sides feel snug, step up the lens width by 1–2 mm; if the front slides, choose a closer bridge for a steadier fit.
Fit notes for steady comfort
Zadig & Voltaire frames tend to read balanced and tidy. A slightly wider front looks bolder; a touch narrower brings a low profile. If you need a low bridge sunglasses that don’t slip outcome, prioritize closer bridge fits or metal styles with discreet pads that raise and stabilize the frame without changing the look.
Materials and care, plus a simple lens note
Acetate offers smooth edge feel and color depth; metal feels lighter and allows tiny nose tweaks on select styles. Sun lenses arrive ready to wear; most cleaning is just a gentle rinse and dry. These come with the brand’s sun coatings and UV protection as specified on product pages.

Shape guidance in two steps
Pick a shape that mirrors your style first, then fine-tune size. Pilots soften angles, squares add structure, and cat-eye lifts open the face. For a fast gut check, skim our face-shape guide and note how aviator sunglasses for round face can balance proportions without going oversized.
Size band and comfort tweaks
Typical lens widths for this brand’s sun styles cluster around the upper 50s to low 60s mm (p10–p90), with a few wider outliers. If temple pressure builds by midday, try the same bridge with 1–2 mm more lens width for relief. Listings normally include a protective case or pouch for daily carry.

FAQ
How do Zadig & Voltaire sunglasses generally fit for daily wear?
Most styles feel balanced once you match your usual lens width and a similar bridge. If the temples pinch, move up 1–2 mm in lens width. If the front slides, choose a closer bridge or a metal style with discreet pads to steady the fit without changing the overall look.
Which sizes should I try first if I have a narrow face?
Use your current pair as a baseline and test one step down in lens width if edges look wide. Keep the bridge close to your best fit to prevent slip. Cat-eye and slim pilots often read tidy on narrow faces without overwhelming proportions.
Are Zadig & Voltaire lenses polarized?
Some colorways are offered with polarized lenses, while others use non-polarized tints. Check each product page for its exact lens type. If glare reduction is your priority, compare models in our polarized selection and choose the tint that suits your driving or water days.
Do these sunglasses block UV effectively?
The brand designs its sun lenses for dependable UV protection. Specifics are listed per product page, so compare the details for the colors you like. When in doubt, pick a tint clearly marked for full UV coverage and confirm the fit before you commit.
What if I get temple pressure by afternoon?
Keep the bridge the same and widen lens width by 1–2 mm to relax the sides. Small temple adjustments at an optician can also help. For sensitive heads, avoid very tight wraps and favor fronts that sit flatter so the pressure spreads more evenly.
Are low bridge fits available that do not slip?
Yes. Look for a closer bridge and, on select metal styles, unobtrusive nose pads that raise and stabilize the frame. If you are between sizes, choose the option that sits flatter at the bridge, then fine-tune temple angle if needed for all-day stability.
Do Zadig & Voltaire sunglasses include a case?
Listings typically include a protective case or pouch, but contents can vary by model. Check the “What’s included” section on the product page. A case keeps lenses from scratching in bags and helps the frame hold its shape between wears.
