Best Earrings for an Oblong Face Shape
Wide earrings add width and make the face look shorter.
This guide is for the oblong face shape: face length at least 1.45 times the cheekbone width, and not a heart or diamond shape.
Try
- Round hoops and button earrings
- Wide, rounded studs and clusters
- Chunky, wide-set drops that are wider than they are long
- Statement studs at the lobe
Skip or adjust
- Long, thin drop earrings that add more length
- Very long, dangly chandelier styles
- Tiny earrings that add no width
