A step-by-step guide to fitting and styling FRANCESCA II eyeglasses, with practical checks for face shape, nosepads, and everyday comfort.

Quick answer

Start by checking FRANCESCA II against your face width and bridge, then use the color and nosepad options to fine-tune comfort and style. Work through the steps below before you commit to a pair.

Why the frame material changes the fit conversation

FRANCESCA II is handcrafted from responsibly sourced birch wood using a multi-layer lamination process. That construction gives the frame a different feel from acetate: it is lightweight, but it does not flex or soften with heat the way acetate can. If you are used to acetate eyeglasses, expect less adjustment at the temples and a firmer overall hold.

This matters most if you have a narrow bridge or a wide face. Wood frames can be adjusted by a professional, but the range is smaller than with acetate. Try the frame on before assuming it will adapt to your face shape.

Where FRANCESCA II fits best, and where it may not

The bold shape and lightweight wooden build suit people who want an expressive frame without heavy pressure on the nose or ears. The nosepad option is useful if your bridge is lower or you want to lift the frame slightly away from your cheeks.

If you need a very close, wraparound fit for sport or high-impact activity, a wooden frame is not the most secure choice. Similarly, if you rely on frequent heat adjustments to widen or narrow a frame, acetate gives you more room to move.

How to fit and style FRANCESCA II step by step

Check the frame width against your face: Put the glasses on and look for pressure at the temples or gaps behind the ears. The frame should sit level without pinching. Common mistake: judging width only by the front view and ignoring how the temples feel after a few minutes. If you feel pressure within 30 seconds, the frame is likely too narrow for your face.
Test the bridge and nosepad position: Look straight ahead and check that the frame sits high enough that your eyelashes do not touch the lenses. If the frame slides down or sits too low, try the nosepad option to lift it. Common mistake: tightening the temples to fix a slipping frame instead of adjusting the bridge. A frame that slips despite tight temples usually needs a nosepad change, not a smaller size.
Match the frame shape to your face shape: Use the bold shape of FRANCESCA II as a contrast to your natural angles. Rounder faces often suit the frame's stronger lines, while angular faces may prefer to soften the look with a lighter color. Common mistake: choosing a frame that repeats your face shape exactly, which can make the fit look unbalanced. Hold the frame at arm's length and squint: if the outline mirrors your jawline too closely, try a different color or nosepad setup.
Choose a color that works with your everyday wardrobe: FRANCESCA II comes in multiple color options. Pick a finish that appears in at least three outfits you wear weekly. Common mistake: choosing a statement color you love in isolation but rarely wear. If you cannot name three outfits the color matches, it will likely stay in the case.
Do a five-minute comfort test: Wear the glasses for five minutes while looking down at your phone, then up at a screen. Check for pressure points behind the ears, on the nose, or at the temples. Common mistake: deciding after ten seconds in front of a mirror. Any pressure that appears within five minutes will feel worse after an hour.

Product facts

FRANCESCA II: Nina Mûr frames are made from responsibly sourced birch wood using a multi-layer lamination process. The laminated wood construction keeps the frame lightweight while holding its shape, so fit checks should focus on the frame as it arrives rather than expecting it to soften like acetate.
