Best Glasses for an Oval Face Shape
An oval face suits most frames. The best ones are as wide as the widest part of the face.
This guide is for the oval face shape: face length between 1.25 and 1.45 times the cheekbone width, with a jaw under 90% of the cheekbone width.
Try
- Frames as wide as, or slightly wider than, the cheekbones
- Square, rectangular, round and cat-eye shapes
- Bold colours and thicker frames that add character
- Aviators and wayfarers for sunglasses
Skip or adjust
- Oversized frames that cover the cheeks and hide the face
- Frames that are much narrower than the face and look pinched
- Very tall frames that lengthen the face further
