[2022] How to choose the right size for glasses and sunglasses I Resonance
Hello, I'm OKD from METRONOME-Tokyo Online, the official Japanese online store of METRONOME DESIGN INC., which sells METRONOME®, an eyewear brand that started in London.
This time, I would like to talk about the size that comes to mind when choosing glasses/sunglasses from an online store. In addition to the size when you wear them, it is also important to consider whether they will fit in your storage case.
Basically, if you measure your own face size while referring to the sizes listed on the product page or frame, you should be able to avoid any significant discrepancies.
Our shop's sunglasses are renowned for their unique designs. The original METRONOME is especially popular with foreign customers, and we stock a range of larger sizes. In addition to the original, we also offer Resonance and Trad styles. Today, we'd like to introduce a variety of styles, focusing on Resonance, which is popular for its well-balanced cost performance and design.
First, please take a look at this. The Resonance model is shown here.
The horizontal axis is the size, basically comparing the fit (width) when worn. So the demi-colored one on the far left is MINX, which fits the face better, while the Infected one on the far right is relatively loose and not too tight.
Please refer to the diagram below to get a sense of size. You can check by comparing the numbers ① and ② in the photo with your own face size.
By the way, if you prefer your field of vision to be completely covered by the lens, be sure to check the height of the lens (③ in the photo).
Check the width of ① and ②, and check the length of the temples. As long as there is no significant difference, I think you will be able to wear them without any problems. By the way, the staff member writing this blog (OKD) actually wears both MINX and Infected.
The two frames are at opposite ends of the size spectrum, but our staff found them to be quite supportive. The MINX certainly feels like it fits snugly. On the other hand, the Infected is a larger frame overall, so we felt it had just the right amount of width and weight.
Now, let's take a look at the actual frames. First up is the MINX.
The glasses come with clip-on lenses, so you can use them as both glasses and sunglasses by attaching and detaching them. Our staff chose blue light blocking lenses on the frame side. They usually wear them as glasses.
And this is Infected.
The overall thickness is greater than the MINX. This is also eyewear with clip lenses. (Note: Each model comes with its own clip lenses. Therefore, the Infected comes with clip lenses that are exclusive to the Infected, and the Minx comes with clip lenses that are exclusive to the Minx.)
Now, let's take a look at some mid-size models. How about the Trigger, known for its sharp, diagonal stroke?
These glasses may look unusual at first glance, but when you put them on, they give off a surprisingly well-balanced impression. They're also just the right amount of light, so wearing them is stress-free. (The lenses are also interchangeable.)
In terms of design, GRIEF is also quite an aggressive design.
Sorry it's a little hard to see from this angle... As you can see, this frame is compatible with clip-on lenses.
Since we've had clip-on lens models, we've also had other models...
As an aside, if you give the black ones a matte finish, they will look more luxurious and have a nice feel. Generally speaking, all of our eyeglasses and sunglasses, including the Resonance series, are designed so that you won't be disappointed with the width.
So, it might be a good idea to choose based on the vertical axis of the first photo, which is fashion/casual. Each frame comes in a wide variety of colors, so please take a look at each product page.

Well then
OKD
