How to Choose the Glasses (It's Not About Face Shapes)

About this video

McGoff teaches men how to choose glasses that actually fit and flatter their face by focusing on three key factors: fit (frame width, lens height, and bridge width), angles (balancing face shape with frame shape), and color/contrast (using these elements to blend in or stand out). He argues this method works for any gender, age, or glasses type and provides practical examples throughout.

Key takeaways

• McGoff recommends prioritizing proper fit over price—frame width should be slightly narrower than your temples, lens height should balance your face length, and bridge width should match your pupillary distance to avoid looking cross-eyed
• McGoff argues that frame angles should contrast with your face shape: angular frames suit round faces, while round or oval frames complement angular faces
• McGoff teaches that color and contrast can be used strategically—low-contrast frames blend in while high-contrast frames stand out, and warmer or complementary colors often harmonize better than defaulting to black frames
