This style of eyeglasses if called the Oxford style, or the Lexington style. Again, I don't know where these names are derived from, so if you go to, you know, Lenscrafters and say, I think my face shape is right for a pair of Oxford lenses or a pair of Lexington lenses, they might know what you're talking about, but I personally couldn't see that happening, so don't expect that. This is, again, just general knowledge for if you ever get on Jepordy some day, you'll be able to say that you know. These glasses, the nose bridge is actually connected in one piece to each of the frames, and the frames just dip in a little, a little bit of a V at the nose part, and the, again, as wide as you want to make the actual frames I guess you could do, but typically, with a pair of eyeglasses, unless they're a statement piece, they're not going to be that noticeable. And this right there is done in, I guess that's a trapezoid shape, where it's flat across the bottom, flat across the top and then angles down, but it's a soft angle on the sides, with the nose being a curved one piece bridge, with out the little nose clippy things. So curve it, draw it in, draw it in, and then angle, angle, and then soften them, and then you've got your ear pieces. There you go.
