I have been looking at some new sunglasses including the Julbos featured in the Latest section of this site. However some say they are ‘Asian’ fit which I assume means slimmer fitting. Will my Anglo Saxon potato head look daft with a pair of Julbos perched on my nose or is this about length of side arms etc?

I think it’s also about the nose bridge, to work better with small noses.

I have no idea if you look daft or not though.

Yes, I think it's smaller / typically flatter noses and wider-spaced cheekbones.

I'm sure Oakley (or possibly Smith) describe the Asian fit on their website.

Oakley do asian fit for some glasses. Maui Jim also have various glasses with different sizes, although you have to have a bit of a guess. Beware of going too small though. I used to think I needed asian fit and got a pair of X-Metal Penny's as they were smaller than the Juliets. Nope they just looked too small.
