What's the difference?
How do they fit?
Oliver Peoples
Sizing. Check the printed eye/bridge/temple numbers and lean to the larger size offered in a style (e.g. the 47 or 50 in Gregory Peck) if you have a medium-to-wide face.
Cut. Vintage-inspired frames that generally sit narrow and low-profile on the face, with keyhole or saddle bridges and slim temples rather than chunky proportions.
Sizing says whether to size up or down. Cut describes the intended shape. A deliberately roomy cut doesn’t mean the sizing runs large.
Neither quite right?
