Wearing a monocle typically involves using your facial muscles to hold it in place.
Steps to Secure a Monocle
Based on common methods, here is a straightforward approach to wearing a monocle:
- Prepare your face: Begin by making a slightly surprised face, which helps to raise your eyebrows.
- Position the bottom: Fit the raised rim on the bottom of the monocle just above your cheekbone.
- Position the top: Place the rim at the top of the monocle right below your brow bone.
- Relax your face: Lower your eyebrows and relax your face so the monocle stays securely in place between your cheekbone and brow.
Getting Started
Wearing a monocle takes practice. Don't be discouraged if it doesn't stay put immediately. Try adjusting the position slightly until you find the sweet spot where your facial muscles can hold it comfortably and securely.
Tips for Success:
- Practice makes perfect: Spend time getting used to the facial movements required.
- Consider the size: Ensure the monocle is appropriately sized for your eye socket.
- Check the fit: The rims should rest comfortably against your skin without causing irritation.
While some monocles may come with a cord for added security, the classic method relies on the user's ability to hold it with their face.
