The Perfect Pairing: Choosing Glasses for an Oval Face in 2024


Mar 12,2024

Because the oval face is adaptable with most glasses frames styles, it is often referred to as the 'ideal' face shape. Here are some top glasses recommendations for an oval face shape.

Understanding the Oval Face Shape

The oval Face is characterized by a balanced proportion and a soft and round outline. The length of the face is slightly longer than the width and the forehead is slightly wider than the jawline. Overall, the elliptical face has symmetrical five and soft curves that are ideal for a variety of frame styles.

one of the main advantages of Oval Face is the versatility of its glasses. Unlike some other face shapes that may be limited to some frame styles, elliptical faces can try various designs without fear of overcoming their features. Whether you like bold and fashionable frames or classic low-key frames, there’s always a pair of glasses that are right for you.

Factors to Consider When Choosing Glasses for Oval Faces

Oval faces are fairly evenly balanced, so you can wear almost any glasses frame style. However, some styles may work better than others. Here are some factors to consider when choosing glasses for oval faces:

Frame width

Choose frames that are as wide as the widest part of your face, which is typically the area around the eyes. Avoid oversized frames, which can throw off the balance.

Frame shape

Square or rectangular glasses add sharper angles for definition. Geometric shapes get playful with shapes and angular contrast.

Frame color

Play with colors and textures that match your skin tone and eye color. For example, gold tones, pink, opal, purple shades, or brown suits best for blue and green eyes. Warm tones compliment brown eyes.

Frame style

Wide frames compliment a narrow silhouette. Circular frames are especially great at highlighting symmetry.

What eyeglass frames look best on an oval face?

Here's a table outlining the eyeglass frames that typically look best on individuals with an oval face shape:


Frame StyleDescription
Rectangular FramesAdds angles to the soft curves of the face, providing a sophisticated and balanced look.
Wayfarer FramesOffers a timeless appeal and adds definition to the face without overwhelming its natural contours.
Cat-Eye FramesAccentuates cheekbones and adds a touch of vintage flair to the face, enhancing overall elegance.
Geometric FramesComplements the balanced proportions of an oval face while adding visual interest.
Browline FramesFeatures a bold upper frame that draws attention upward, balancing the features of an oval face.
Oversized FramesFlattering as long as they maintain proper proportions and do not overwhelm the face.
Rimless FramesProvides a minimalist and lightweight option, allowing the natural contours of the face to shine.


These frame styles can help enhance the natural symmetry and proportions of an oval face while adding a touch of style and personality.

Expert Q&A

Do big glasses look good on oval faces?

Because your oval face is fairly evenly balanced, think twice before wearing oversized frames. They may not be the best glasses for oval faces as they can throw that balance off and not look as natural. If you do want to try them, aim for frames that are the same width or ever so slightly wider than your cheekbones.

How do I choose eyeglass frames for my face?

Round, rectangle, aviator, or retro square — take your pick! Although you have a lot of options, keep proportion in mind: rimless or half frame readers work well with petite faces while full frame glasses are best for longer faces.

What glasses should an oval face avoid?

Frames that Enhance: Lucky you – nearly any frame shape works well for oval faces! Geometric shapes can add a hint of angularity to your soft curves, and square, rectangular, and aviator frames are versatile options. Frames to Avoid: Extremely large frames can overwhelm your facial features.
