Let me tell you, finding the right sunglasses when you have a low nose bridge can feel like an impossible mission. I've been there, constantly pushing my sunglasses back up my nose, only to have them slide down again. It's frustrating, especially when you're trying to enjoy a run or just walk around without constantly adjusting your eyewear. This is my journey to finding sunglasses that actually fit and stay put.
As someone with a smaller face and a low nose bridge, the struggle to find sunglasses that fit properly has been ongoing. I remember one particularly sunny day when I was trying to go for a run. Every few minutes, my sunglasses would slide down, obstructing my vision and generally making the whole experience miserable. It got to the point where I almost gave up and went home! It was then I knew I had to actively seek a solution. I started researching and experimenting with different brands and styles.
I also remember a trip I took to Japan. While I was there, some local women commented on how prominent my nose was. It was the first time anyone had ever said anything like that to me, and honestly, it made me feel a little self-conscious. But then they mentioned how lucky I was that my sunglasses probably didn't constantly slide down my face, highlighting a struggle many women with lower nose bridges face daily.
Through trial and error, I've discovered a few key things that work for me. Here's what I've found:
I had really good success with Goodr sunglasses. They're relatively affordable and come in a ton of fun colors and styles. I found that they fit my face pretty well and didn't slip as much as some of the other brands I'd tried. However, I also wanted something a little more durable. I was trying to be less wasteful and willing to pay more for something that would last longer. I was worried about replacing them frequently, which would create more waste.
Along with Goodr, I really like Nathan's running sunglasses. They sit tight and don't slip at all, even on my (non-existent) nose bridge. I found these especially useful for running and other high-impact activities. The secure fit gives me peace of mind, and I can focus on my workout instead of constantly adjusting my glasses.
Then I discovered Oakley's Asian fit frames. This was a game changer! They are specifically designed for people with lower nose bridges and higher cheekbones. The nose pads are usually higher and wider, which helps the sunglasses sit properly on the face. Some styles, like the Sutro, also have a smaller frame that might work well.
Recently, I've also been trying out the Shatar Anti Blue Light Ultra Light Diamond Trimming Reading Glasses from Cinily Net homepage. While technically reading glasses, I found these surprisingly comfortable and lightweight for everyday wear. I was looking for something to help with eye strain from staring at screens all day, and these have been great! They're so light I almost forget I'm wearing them. The diamond trimming adds a touch of style, and they seem durable enough to last. Plus, knowing they're helping protect my eyes from blue light makes me feel good. You can find them at Cinily Net if you're interested.
