The Cutler and Gross Kingsman glasses and sunglasses are a masterclass in discerning style. Developed in collaboration with acclaimed director Matthew Vaughn and the Kingsman design team, the frames balance Cutler and Gross’s expert craftsmanship with cinematic gravitas and refinement. The origins of the collaboration are revealed in ‘A Story of Espionage and Elegance’.
Handcrafted in Italy using generational expertise, the Kingsman glasses and sunglasses offer a tailored fit without compromise. Across the collection, a variety of bridge shapes and sizes have been used to ensure that the Cutler and Gross Kingsman glasses flatter and frame a multitude of faces. In this journal, we focus on bridges and browlines, and share how to find what suits.

How to Determine Your Nose Bridge
Looking in a mirror, use your finger to feel for the slight bony part on your nose – this is the bridge. Now see where your nose bridge is in relation to your eyes; if it sits above your pupils, you have a high nose bridge; if it’s in line with your pupils, you have a medium nose bridge; if it’s below your pupils, you have a low nose bridge.
Knowing this positioning can be a shortcut to finding which Cutler and Gross Kingsman glasses are most flattering for your face shape.
A High Nose Bridge
If a frame has a bridge that is in line with or close to the browline, it will often look particularly flattering on a high nose bridge.

A Low Nose Bridge
Those with a low nose bridge often benefit from nose pads or gooseneck pads, as they provide support and prevent the frame from slipping down the face.
