STAY IN SHAPE: Eyewear Styles for Oval Faces

Trying frame after frame can be a challenge when picking eyewear, but you can narrow it down based on your face shape. This article will focus on oval-shaped faces, so compare your face to the feature outline below. If you match the description, consult the positive and negative attributes of specific frame styles. Your next step will be to visit the Vision Gallery to try your preferred pair on for size.

Oval Face Features

An oval face has three specific dimensions: a narrow forehead, high cheekbones and a narrow chin. This ratio gives the face the geometric shape of an oval, which can be difficult to compliment when choosing your frames.

Some celebrity oval face examples are:

Classic cool: Wayfarer-style, “aviators,” cat-eye.
Geometric jazz: Thick, dark in a rectangle or square shape.
Modern motion: circular and semi-circular thin or wire frames

Frames to Avoid

As you can see above, many frame types can highlight an oval face. Some specific shapes to avoid are chunky, oversized or overly wide frames. These add bulk to an already wide part of the oval-shaped face.

Options

Once you have settled on a complimentary shape for your face, try matching or contrasting the frames’ colour with your hair colour and skin tone. Monochrome frames are very versatile, while some highlight shades and textures can help liven up your everyday eyewear. If they are prescription sunglasses, there is also a wide variety of kinds and colours of tint that can be applied.
