Your oval face shape doesn’t tell you anything about what glasses you should wear; only you can decide which frames you like. But while you’re shopping, you might want to know what each style of glasses can add to your face, and get a sense of what aesthetic appeals to you. Are you someone who gravitates more toward strong angles or smooth curves? Do you lean toward modernity or traditionalism? And how can different frame shapes complement your oval face shape? There’s no “best” eyeglass shape for an oval face, but there are a variety of eyeglass shapes for oval faces that can work for you. This guide from Oyoun Obeer Optics aims to help you sift through the options and find the glasses that will make you and your eyes happy from our store.
Eyeglasses shapes for oval faces that highlight their advantages
How can you tell if your face is oval? First of all, it’s a very common face shape, so if you think you have an oval face, you probably do. But if you want to check your face shape in the mirror, look for some of the following traits:
- Your face is about twice as long as it is wide.
- Your face narrows slightly at the forehead and chin.
- Your face has a relatively even width all the way down, or is widest across the cheekbones.
- Your forehead is the same width as your jawline or slightly wider.
Some people with oval faces have rounded foreheads and chins, while others may have sharper features. The relatively even width of the face is what distinguishes oval face shapes from diamond shapes, which are wider across the cheeks and may not be as long.
Remember that your face may not meet all the criteria for a particular face shape. These descriptions are generalizations, and they don't always respect the fact that every person's face is different and unique because of it!
Finding glasses for an oval face is a matter of choosing from hundreds of options. The good news is that you can choose any frame you want from our store’s selection of prescription glasses . Check out our tips below to find out which prescription glasses for oval faces will complement your face.
Rectangular glasses
Rectangular glasses are ideal for oval faces, as they are wider than they are long, which is the opposite of your face proportions. Their straight lines also fit well with the curves of an oval face, resulting in a stylish look that you can enhance with colored frames or embellishments.
PORTO 9801 prescription glasses are one of the best prescription glasses for oval faces that you can get from our store, as their rectangular design provides a perfect balance between the frame and dimensions to fit the face comfortably.
square glasses
Like their rectangular counterparts, square glasses suit oval faces because their strong lines and vertical angles provide contrast. In fact, they can provide more contrast and dimension than rectangular frames, as their square-shaped lenses stand out on a longer face. They are available in both men's and women's prescription glasses.
If you have an oval face and are looking for eyeglasses that will accentuate your features in an elegant way, then PORTO LD2408 eyeglasses from Oyoun Obeer Optics are the perfect choice for you. With their modern square design, these glasses provide a great balance with the oval face shape, enhancing your attractiveness and giving you a distinctive look.
round glasses
Round glasses balance out an oval face shape. You layer curves on top of each other, but they are different enough to create a pleasing visual effect. We suggest you check out our vintage and modern round designs, with thick or thin frames, such as PORTO 2440 prescription glasses that will add a touch of elegance to your oval face. With their classic round design, these glasses will give you a modern and attractive look that suits your face shape and enhances your appeal.
Cat eye glasses are one of the best eyeglass shapes for oval faces.
Cat-eye glasses draw attention to your cheekbones, and cut the even proportions of an oval face in a stylish way. These frames can quickly become the focal point of your face, so you can lean into this dynamic by choosing glasses with dramatic brows, or play them down with slightly raised angles.
Gorgina eyeglasses model old19195a is the perfect choice for your oval face from our store. With its wonderful cat-eye design, it will add a touch of modern charm to your look.
Aviator glasses
With their large teardrop-shaped lenses, aviator sunglasses command attention while also accentuating your facial features. They give your eyes plenty of lens to work with, and often feature a brow that adds just the right amount of boldness with its straight line.
One of the best eyeglasses for oval faces is the Gorgina P1101 eyeglasses from “Oyoun Obeer Optics”, which will add classic elegance to your look and highlight the best features of your face.

Glasses that do not suit oval faces
As we mentioned before, you can wear the above-mentioned eyeglasses for oval faces and you will look absolutely stunning. There are no restrictions; you are the master of your personal style. However, the glasses below may pose some styling challenges for oval faces and may not suit them best.
Oversized glasses
Sometimes, oversized or oversized glasses can throw off the balance of the equal proportions of an oval face shape. Try big, bold glasses to see which ones look best on you.
Glasses that are wider or narrower than your face
Glasses that extend too far out from the sides of your face, or don't extend far enough out, can also mess with the natural balance of an oval face. Furthermore, glasses that are this extreme in length are unlikely to fit you well.
Frequently Asked Questions
What glasses are suitable for an oval face?
