Best Glasses for an Oblong Face Shape
Frames that are wide and deep balance a long face, so go bigger than you might think.
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
- Oversized, round and square frames that add width
- Frames with a strong top line and decorative temples
- Deeper frames that shorten the length of the face
- Bold colours and thick frames
Skip or adjust
- Small, narrow frames that make the face look longer
- Thin, shallow frames that add no width
- Very low-set frames that lengthen the nose
