Collection: Small Size Glasses

Shop Small Size Glasses in the UK – Petite-Fit Designer Frames | Ardor Eyewear

Finding Small Size Glasses shouldn’t feel like hunting for a needle in a haystack. If most frames look oversized, slip down your nose, or sit too wide across your temples, it’s usually not the style—it’s the sizing. This collection is for faces that suit a more compact fit, so your glasses sit neatly, feel comfortable, and look properly proportioned.

Ardor Eyewear brings years of optical expertise online, offering authentic branded eyewear as official stockists, with professional advice and top customer care. 

What counts as small in glasses sizing?

Glasses sizing is typically shown as a set of numbers on the inside of the arm (temple). You’ll often see something like 48-19-140 or 52 18 135—these figures refer to lens width, bridge width, and temple length, measured in millimetres. 

Small size frames usually have a narrower front and often slightly shorter or more compact proportions overall. The easiest way to shop confidently is to check the numbers on a pair that already fits you well, then stay close to those measurements when browsing. 

Why Small Size Glasses look better on smaller faces

When a frame is too wide, it tends to shout before you do. It can dominate your features, throw your proportions off in photos, and feel “floaty” throughout the day. A true small fit sits closer to your natural face width, which makes everything look cleaner—especially around the eyes and cheekbones.

You’ll also notice the comfort difference. A better-fitting frame is less likely to pinch at the hinges, slide down your nose, or leave marks by lunchtime.

Clues you’ll feel better in a smaller frame

• Your glasses slide forward constantly, even after adjustment
  

• The frame front looks wider than your face, especially at the temples
  

• Your eyes sit too far toward the inner edges of the lenses (the frame feels “too big”)
  

• The lower rim touches your cheeks when you smile
  

• You end up choosing children’s frames just to get the width right

How to choose the right small fit online

The numbers printed on your current frames are your best shortcut. Most guides explain them the same way: the first number is the lens width, the second is the bridge width, and the third is the temple length. 

A quick measuring checklist

• Check the inside arm of your current glasses for the size code (e.g., 48-19-140) and use it as your baseline.
  

• If your current frames fit well but feel slightly loose, drop down a little on lens width or overall frame width rather than changing everything at once.
  

• If the glasses pinch your nose, bridge fit matters more than you’d think—don’t just size down blindly.
  

• If you wear glasses all day, consider lighter materials or slimmer profiles (they can feel less “heavy” even in a smaller width).
  

Style options in Small Size Glasses (without the “kid’s frame” vibe)

Small sizing doesn’t mean boring, and it definitely doesn’t mean juvenile. Many designer frames are made in multiple sizes, so you can still get a sharp, grown-up look—just scaled to fit.

You’ll typically find:

• Refined metal frames that feel minimal and lightweight
  

• Classic acetates (black, tortoise, crystal tones) that add definition without overpowering your face
  

• Softer round and oval styles for a relaxed look
  

• Neat rectangles and squares for a more structured, work-friendly feel
  

If you want help narrowing it down, you can also browse by face shape—Ardor’s “Shop by Face” messaging highlights frames selected for balance and proportion.
