Most eyewear brands stop at 'medium.' Shade Gray was built around Wide and Extrawide sizing from the start.


How to Know If You Need a Wide or Extrawide Frame

If standard frames leave red marks behind your ears, feel tight at the temples by the end of the day, or simply look too small on your face, you likely need a wider frame than what most retailers default to.

Shade Gray sizes frames by actual face width, not just 'small/medium/large' labels that vary by brand.

Label Face Width Shop
Narrow 126-131mm Narrow Frames
Medium 132-136mm Medium Frames
Wide 137-141mm Wide Frames
Extra Wide 142-150mm Extra Wide Frames

Face width ranges match Shade Gray's current frame-size collections.


Shop Frames Built for Your Size

Every wide and extrawide frame in our collection is designed at true size from the start -- not a stretched version of a narrower frame -- so proportions, temple length, and nose bridge width are all built for a wider face.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I measure my face width at home? +
See our full guide -- How to Find Your Frame Size -- for a step-by-step measurement method using just a ruler or a card for scale.
Do wide frames cost more than standard sizes? +
No, Wide and Extrawide frames at Shade Gray are priced the same as our standard sizes, starting at $49.
What if I'm between Wide and Extrawide? +
When in between, we generally recommend sizing up to Extrawide for comfort, since a slightly loose fit is easier to adjust than a tight one.
Can Wide and Extrawide frames still look stylish, not just functional? +
Yes -- our wide-size styles span the same range of shapes (rectangle, round, cat-eye, aviator, and more) as our standard sizes.
