Guide: Adjust size or uneven templesUpdated 5 months ago

Adjusting the frame for a perfect fit

Are your sunglasses feeling a bit loose, too big, or the arms slightly uneven? Don't worry - If you have a pair of acetate sunglasses, you can easily adjust them at home in just a couple of minutes. 

Acetate is a strong yet flexible material that can be easily molded to fit you perfectly. Adjusting acetate sunglasses is super simple! Follow these steps to get your sunnies fitting just right.

Shaping acetate sunglasses
Use the heat from your hands
Acetate is responsive to heat. You can warm it up just by holding the temples in your hands for a few seconds before adjusting. The warmth will make the acetate more pliable and easier to shape.

Use a hairdryer
If you need a little extra flexibility, you can gently warm the acetate with a hairdryer on a low setting. Be sure to hold the hairdryer a few inches away and move it around to evenly distribute the heat. Once warmed, follow the steps below to adjust the fit.

Adjusting the fit of your sunglasses
1. Tightening the temples (arms) 
If the temples of your sunglasses are too wide and your sunglasses feel loose, you can easily create a snugger fit. Here's how:

Step 1: Firmly grasp one of the temples close to the hinge where it attaches to the frame. With your other hand, hold the tip of the same temple.
Step 2: Gently pull the tip of the temple inward, bending it slightly toward the other temple.
Step 3: Try on your sunglasses and enjoy the improved fit!

2. Adjusting the curve of the temples 
If your sunglasses are slipping down your nose or don't sit securely behind your ears, the temples might be too straight. You can fix this by bending the ends of the temples down and inward for a better grip.

Here's how:
Step 1: Hold the tip of one of the temples with one hand, and grasp the other end of the temple with your other hand.
Step 2: Gently bend the tip of the temple down and inward until it curves comfortably around your ear.
Step 3: Put on your sunglasses and enjoy a secure, snug fit!

Give It a try!

Adjusting your acetate sunglasses is easy, safe, and totally worth it for a perfect fit. Give it a try and enjoy your custom-fitted sunglasses in just a few minutes!
