Choosing your Paul Costelloe 5238 colour

Matt Brown Mottle. Matt Brown Mottle is a soft, mottled brown. It warms up the face and sits nicely alongside camel, olive and cream.

Matt Navy. Matt Navy is a soft, non-shiny navy. It brings a cool, calm touch of colour that suits most skin tones.

Each colour is shown in the gallery, so you can compare them side by side before you decide.

The details

Square lenses add structure to round and oval faces and make features look more defined.

It is the kind of frame that works with most outfits, which makes the Paul Costelloe 5238 an easy pick for everyday wear.

How to wear it

Keep the rest of your look simple and let the frame do the talking. It works just as well with workwear as it does with weekend clothes.

Frame size and fit

The 53mm lenses make this a medium frame that suits most faces. The 17mm bridge is average. The 140mm arms are a standard length. Across the lenses and bridge it measures about 123mm.

To check the fit, look at the three numbers printed inside the arm of glasses you already own. If they are within two or three millimetres, this frame should feel similar.

Lens options for the Paul Costelloe 5238

Pick the lenses that match your prescription:

• Single vision: one prescription for distance, reading or the computer.
• Progressive: near, middle and far in one lens with no line. (In the UK they call them varifocals.)
• Bifocal: a defined reading area at the bottom of the lens.
• Ready readers: simple magnification for close work.

The 35mm lens depth works with single vision, bifocal and many progressive lenses. Prefer to keep things slim? Choose a high-index lens, which is thinner and lighter than standard. Then add an anti-reflective coating to cut glare from headlights and screens.

Ordering online is easier than you think

All you need is a current prescription from your optometrist and your pupillary distance (PD), the distance between your pupils. Your PD is often written on your prescription; if it is not, ask your optometrist for it. Pick your colour, choose your lens type, enter your details and add any lens upgrades. If you are not sure about sizing, compare the measurements above with a pair you already own. It only takes a minute and saves any guesswork.

Made for you in our UK lab

Looking after them
