Asian features are not homogenous but are often characterised by the presence of higher cheekbones and a significantly lower nose bridge than Caucasians. Therein lies the issue, then, when big-name eyewear brands tend to construct frames for the latter demographic, creating issues with fit for Asians who just want to flaunt the same design.

A growing number of eyewear labels have thankfully stepped up to rectify the problem by offering customers the option to purchase sunglasses made with an Asian fit, often dubbed interchangeably as an alternative fit. Typically, Asian fit sunglasses would have a narrower nose bridge to prevent slippage, longer nose pads to facilitate how the frames sit on the nose, as well as a flatter curvature on the frames to prevent the annoying sensation of having your shades bump against your cheekbones.

If the “universal” fit has never accommodated your features, it’s time you turn to these eyewear companies to give their Asian fit renditions a go.

GENTLE MONSTER

Gentle Monster’s Cobalt 02.

Few eyewear brands have experienced the same trajectory as Gentle Monster. The Korean label has exploded internationally, going from a cult name in its native country to a staple that has dressed the faces of many international style icons. The label was primarily created in the spirit of “by Asians, for Asians”, so expect Gentle Monster to carry a massive array of alternative fit sunglasses in the futuristic designs the collective is so known for.

OAKLEY

Oakley remains one of the chief brands that come to mind when one thinks of sunglasses for sports. It’s got a style for every persuasion, and technology to match any level of expertise, making Oakley frames a go-to for bikers, runners, and all athletes in between. The household label also has a selection of Asian fit sunglasses that possess more grip on the nose bridge to keep them in place through strenuous activity. If you regularly engage in sports, Oakley’s your best bet.

PRADA

Luxury brands catering to an Asian fit for their eyewear lines remain few and far between, though Prada has consistently remained the exception. Its core line, as well as its athleisure-focused Linea Rossa subsidiary, both have Asian fit options that span anything from the classic to the more adventurous, trendier designs offered. Prada’s the name we love for shades you can don for sports, and stunt on the streets.

RAY-ban

For the fierce popularity Ray-Ban has in Asia, it would only make sense that the leading American eyewear brand has branched out to produce options that suit our features. To meet demands, the label now offers buyers to customise its classic styles — think anything between the Wayfarers to the Clubmasters — with an Asian fit when you shop on its online portal.

ROCKET EYEWEAR

The Rocket P3 Classic Edition.

If you like to shop with indie labels, The Rocket Eyewear Company is up your alley. This Singaporean company has a singular goal — to make shades for everyday wear that flatter Asian faces. With that in mind, it has produced one classic style, the Rocket P3, with the option for a Raised or Standard fit, with the former suiting those with lower to medium nose bridges. Though there is only one design, it offers a whole spectrum of colours and finishes, so your choices abound.
