TGG:
Design Overview
A streamlined rectangular acetate frame with softly rounded lens corners and a subtle upward sweep toward the outer edges. The relatively shallow proportions create a crisp, horizontal silhouette, while the sculpted browline gives the frame enough movement to avoid appearing overly rigid.
- Frame Type: Full-rim acetate with modified rectangular lenses and softly rounded corners.
- Construction: Integrated acetate bridge with substantial endpieces, a pronounced upper rim, and comparatively restrained lower rims.
- Details: Small inset accents near the outer corners provide understated decorative interest. The gently dipped center brow transitions into subtly elevated outer edges, introducing a restrained cat-eye influence without becoming overtly upswept.
Fit & Comfort
The moderate-to-shallow lens depth makes this a particularly versatile shape for many single-vision prescriptions while maintaining a compact appearance on the face. The rectangular geometry is especially flattering on round, oval, and softer facial shapes, where the defined horizontal lines can introduce structure and the slight outer lift can add visual balance.
Because it has a fixed acetate bridge, the bridge fit matters more than with an adjustable-pad frame: ideally it should make even contact without pinching at the sides of the nose or allowing the frame to slide. For progressive lenses, the available fitting height should be confirmed before ordering because of the relatively shallow lens area.
Perfect For
An excellent refined, understated independent-eyewear look for someone who wants a structured rectangular frame with just a hint of vintage-inspired attitude. The combination of compact proportions, softened corners, a sculpted browline, and subtle outer lift gives it a polished character that works particularly well as a sophisticated everyday frame.

Find Your Fit
Frame Sizing Isn't What it Seems:
Let me throw a wrench to everything you might think you know about finding the right "size" glasses. While many people think a couple of simple numbers can determine the needed frame size, more often that not, that's just not the case. The numbers I'm referring to are the A or Eye size (Lens width), and the DBL or Bridge size (distance between the two lenses). While these numbers can be helpful guidelines, not all frames with the same numbers will fit the same way. Just like your clothes don't all fit exactly the same even with the same waist measure, neither do all frames.
Why Don't The Numbers Tell Me the Right Size?
This is a great question, and comes down to the wide array of materials used to make the frames! The distance from the edge of the lens to where the temple (arms, bows, whatever you want to call them) go back to the head and thickness of the temples themselves are just a couple of the factors. Add in different bridge designs with the same width and totally different fits and construction, and things get hairy quickly!
So, How Can I Even Figure Out What To Buy?
Pay close attention to the actual construction of the frame. Opticians know these tricks well and our staff is happy to assist if needed, just send us a picture, and what it is you personally want out of your next eyewear function and style wise. For a guideline for yourself though, look at the material thickness from the outer lens to the edge, this can be just one or two millimeters, on up to several or as much as ten or more millimeters in the cases of some specialty designs for high prescriptions! Next pay attention to the thickness of the material in the bridge, and the way it tapers. These subtle cues can give you a great impression of how the frame will fit on you with just a little visualization!
Does a Frame Always Need to Fit Perfectly?
Contrary to the optical worlds opinion, NO. You don't need perfect central alignment, or frames exactly the width of your head. What you do need, are certain lines to flow well with your face, colors that work for your complexion and wardrobe, and knowing whether you want to have a look that is bold and oversized, or small petite and minimal, or any combination of the two. There is a fine line between oversized and TOO BIG, so do dredge into this area with caution. This is where we come in, if you're not sure, let us help!
