How to Choose Tom Ford Glasses Step by Step
Customers most often ask us where to begin. Work in this order and the choice gets much easier.
- Start with size. A frame that is too wide or too narrow cannot be fixed by adjustment alone.
- Match the shape to your face. Contrast helps: angular frames soften a round face, and softer lines ease a strong jaw.
- Pick material and rim style. Acetate gives colour and weight, metal is lighter, and rimless is the lightest.
- Choose a colour that works with your skin and wardrobe. Black and Havana are the safest starting points.
- Try before you decide. A pair that feels right in the first minute usually still feels right at the end of the day.
How to Choose Tom Ford Glasses by Size
Each frame on our Tom Ford collection page shows three numbers. For example, one small frame is listed as 48-19-145 and a medium frame as 50-20-145. By standard convention these are the lens width, the bridge width and the temple length, all in millimetres. Choose by comparing these numbers with a pair of glasses you already wear comfortably. Most of our Tom Ford range is medium, with a smaller number of large and small frames.
Tom Ford Face Shape Guide
Face shape is a starting point, not a rule. The vision resource All About Vision’s face shape guide suggests angular, narrow frames for round faces, frames wider than they are deep for square faces, and frames with more depth than width for oblong faces. Here is how that translates to the Tom Ford range.
| Face shape | What suits it | Tom Ford styles to look at |
|---|---|---|
| Round | Angular, narrow frames | Square and rectangle (most of the range) |
| Square | Frames wider than deep, softer outlines | Rounded-edge and round styles |
| Oval | Almost any style, as wide as the face | Any shape in a medium size |
| Heart | Frames wider at the bottom, light frames | Rimless and thin metal styles |
| Diamond | Frames with distinctive brow lines | The wayfarer style and acetate with a strong top line |
| Oblong | Frames with more depth than width | Larger square and rounded-edge styles |
Tom Ford Glasses Near Me: Where to Try Them
The best way to choose is to hold the frame. Our Lawrence & Mayo boutiques are in Chennai (Nungambakkam), Delhi (Janpath), Hyderabad (Banjara Hills) and Kolkata (Park Street). If you are searching for Tom Ford glasses near me, call the boutique first to confirm that the frame you want is available to try.
What Most People Overlook
Even when you know how to choose Tom Ford glasses by face shape, we have found that buyers check the width and forget three other things. A Tom Ford face shape match is only half the answer. First, the bridge, because a bridge that sits wrong makes a pair slide down no matter how good the frame is. Second, the temples, which should rest on your ears without pinching. Third, the way you wear them. If you read, work on screens or drive a lot, tell the optician, because it changes the lens and the best frame depth. A short test helps: smile, look down and shake your head gently. A well chosen frame stays put.
How We Help You Choose the Right Pair
Our Personal Showcase Service brings up to 80 frames to your home or office, so you can try several shapes against your own face. Our Enhanced Precision Eye Test confirms your prescription first, so the frame depth and lens can be planned together.
Verdict
The simplest rule for how to choose Tom Ford glasses is size first, shape second, colour last, and always try the pair on. Visit the Lawrence & Mayo boutique nearest you and let our team fit it properly.
