All of our bodies, including our faces, have their own unique shape. One area where eyewear has been lacking over the years is the selection of frames for men and women with petite and narrow faces. And that\u2019s just unfair! That\u2019s why at Zenni we designed an entire selection of <a href=\"\/blog\/perfectly-petite-glasses-for-narrow-faces\/\" aria-label=\"Read more about petite-fit frames\">petite-fit frames<\/a> for adult faces.<\/p>\n<h2><b>Difference Between Regular and Petite Fit<\/b><\/h2>\n<p>If average-sized <a href=\"\/comfortable-glasses\" aria-label=\"Visit adult glasses Page\">adult glasses<\/a> are too large, and you often find yourself shopping the kid\u2019s selection for a pair that fits, you most likely have a petite or narrow face width. The average frame size is typically 138 mm wide. Petite\/slim faces require closer to a 126 mm frame width for a comfortable fit.\u00a0 That\u2019s a pretty big measurement difference!<\/p>\n<p>In addition to a shorter lens width, petite frames also come in a smaller bridge size and have shorter temple arms than average-sized frames. The temple arms are still slightly longer than on kids\u2019 frames, which allows for a more secure fit without uncomfortable pinching behind the ears.<\/p>\n<h2><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-65977\" src=\"https:\/\/www.zennioptical.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/header_petite.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"900\" height=\"545\"><\/h2>\n<h2><b>The Best Frames For Petite Faces<\/b><\/h2>\n<p>For petite fit,\u00a0 slender frames such as metal or thin acetate tend to be the most flattering on narrow faces and people with smaller features.<\/p>\n<p>Narrow frames tend to draw more attention to your eyes.
