Glasses for Oblong Face

• What shape of glasses is best for an oblong face?

  A rectangular face shape is one in which the length of the face is greater than the width of the face, about twice as long as the width, with fewer angles. Consider frames that are little wider than the cheekbones to increase the width of the face to make it look less narrow.

  
  
  

  Rectangular Frames:

  
  

  Rectangular glasses have a more angular profile that adds level width to the face, and rectangular eyeglasses also outline the face. The sharp angles of their frames add structure, and the straight lines of the frames can break up the length of the oblong face to create a more balanced look.

  
  
  

  Square Frames:

  
  

  Square glasses with thick lines and sharp angles can help add structure and definition to the face, breaking up the long lines of an oblong face for a shorter, more balanced look.

  
  
  

  Round Frames:

  
  

  Round glasses can help soften the angles and add curves to an oblong face shape, making it appear shorter and adding width to the face. Round frames create a more balanced and harmonious look.

  
  
  

  Browline Frames:

  
  

  Browline glasses have a unique upper frame that helps add width to the upper part of the face, balancing the length of an oblong face and creating a more well-balanced look.

  
  
  

  Geometric Frames:

  
  

  Geometric glasses with bold shapes, such as hexagonal or octagonal frames, add interest and width to the face, breaking up the slim features of an oblong face.
