Oroton Sunglasses: Every Frame, Its Measurements and Which Face Shape It Suits

Oroton sunglasses are handcrafted acetate frames designed in Sydney, and they are made for Australian light. Coveti carries 21 Oroton frames, all at $630, from the oversized Charlie to the narrow Juno, and every product page lists the lens, bridge and arm measurements in millimetres. That matters more than the shape name, because it tells you whether a frame will fit your face. Here is the full range, with the numbers.

How to read the measurements

Three numbers decide the fit. Lens width is the width of one lens in millimetres: around 50 mm is small to medium, 55 mm and above reads oversized. Bridge width is the gap between the lenses, and a wider bridge sits better on a broader nose. Arm length is the temple, usually 140 mm, which suits most adults. If you own a pair you love, measure it and compare.

The frames, from smallest to largest lens

1. The narrow frame: Juno Sunglasses Black, $630

A 50 mm lens in black acetate, the slimmest shape in the range. It suits smaller and oval faces and has the late 1990s look of the season. Also in Signature Tort.

2. The square: Stevie Sunglasses Emerald, $630

Stevie is the Oroton square frame: 51 mm lens and a wide 21 mm bridge, in Emerald acetate. Also in Chocolate and Biscuit Tort, and in a bio acetate version made from a biodegradable plant based acetate.

3. The bio acetate classic: Landry Bio Acetate Sunglasses Black, $630

Landry in black bio acetate, a 52 mm lens with soft rounded corners. The easiest frame in the range to wear every day.

4. The cat eye: Finch Sunglasses Chocolate, $630

Finch in Chocolate, 54 mm with a narrow 17 mm bridge and a lifted outer edge. Good on round and heart shaped faces.

5. The navy: Spencer Sunglasses Dark Navy, $630

Spencer in Dark Navy, 54 mm. A rectangular frame in a colour that is softer than black and still reads as classic.

6. The metal frame: Alex Sunglasses Gold, $630

Alex in gold metal and acetate, 55 mm. The only metal frame in this edit and the lightest on the face.

7. The soft square: Remy Sunglasses Oatmeal, $630

Remy in Oatmeal, a pale see through acetate with a 56 mm lens and a 16 mm bridge. Also in Burgundy.

8. The oversized: Charlie Sunglasses Signature Tort, $630

Charlie, a 58 mm lens in Signature Tort with a rounded statement front. The largest frame Oroton makes and the one for full sun.

Which frame suits your face?

Round faces suit angular frames: Stevie, Spencer and Finch. Square and strong jaws suit softer curves: Landry, Remy and Charlie. Oval faces can wear almost anything, so choose on lens size. Smaller faces should stay at 50 to 52 mm, which means Juno, Stevie and Landry. Larger faces and anyone who wants maximum coverage should look at Remy and Charlie.

Lenses and protection

Oroton describes its frames as general purpose sunglasses with good UV protection and protection against sunglare. Most come with mono tinted lenses in brown, grey, green and amber, matched to the frame colour. Store them in a case: the Cecile Sunglass Case in Copper leather (shop it here, $500) is made for these frames.
