For starters, it\u2019s an extremely common face shape, so if you think you have one, you probably do! But if you want to check out your face\u2019s proportions in the mirror, look for some the following traits:&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Your face is about twice as long as it is wide<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Your face narrows slightly at the forehead and chin<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Your face has a relatively even width all the way down, or is widest across your cheekbones<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Your forehead is the same width as or just a bit wider than your jawline<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Some people with oval faces have rounded foreheads and chins, whereas others might have more pointed features. The relatively even width of the face is what distinguishes oval face shapes from <a href=\"\/learn\/diamond-face-shape-glasses\">diamond ones<\/a>, which are more notably wide across the cheeks and may not be as long.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Remember, your face probably won\u2019t meet <em>all<\/em> of the criteria for a certain face shape. Those descriptions are generalizations, and they don\u2019t always respect the fact that everyone\u2019s face is different (and lovely because of it!).&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Best Glasses Shapes for an Oval Face<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Finding glasses for an oval-shaped face is a matter of picking through tons and tons of choices. The good news is that you can pull off any frame you like. (Here\u2019s a secret\u2014that\u2019s true of any <a href=\"https:\/\/www.warbyparker.com\/learn\/glasses-for-different-face-shapes\">face shape<\/a>!) <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The \u201cbad\u201d news is that you have <em>so many frames<\/em> to choose from that <a href=\"https:\/\/www.warbyparker.com\/learn\/how-to-choose-glasses\">it may be a tough choice<\/a>. Consult our tips below to learn how certain frames will complement your oval face. If they\u2019re helpful, use them as guidelines while you <a href=\"https:\/\/www.warbyparker.com\/eyeglasses\">shop for glasses online<\/a> or elsewhere.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Rectangle Glasses<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.warbyparker.com\/eyeglasses\/rectangle\">Rectangle glasses<\/a> are the perfect counterpoint to an oval face shape: they\u2019re wider than they are long, the opposite of your facial proportions. Their straight lines also play well with an oval face\u2019s curves, resulting in a refined look that you can punch up with colorful frames or embellishments.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<\/div><!-- .entry-content (split for inline block) -->\n\n<div class=\"wp-blocks__products wp-blocks__products-5\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.warbyparker.com\/learn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/wilkie-glasses.jpeg\" alt=\"Wilkie\" loading=\"lazy\" \/>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<h3>Wilkie<\/h3>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>Black Matte Eclipse<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/www.warbyparker.com\/eyeglasses\/wilkie\/black-matte-eclipse\" target=\"_blank\">Shop Wilkie<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.warbyparker.com\/learn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/james-glasses.jpeg\" alt=\"James\" loading=\"lazy\" \/>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<h3>James<\/h3>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>Carbon<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/www.warbyparker.com\/eyeglasses\/james\/carbon\" target=\"_blank\">Shop James<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.warbyparker.com\/learn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/gillian-glasses.jpeg\" alt=\"Gillian\" loading=\"lazy\" \/>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<h3>Gillian<\/h3>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>Teal Tortoise<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/www.warbyparker.com\/eyeglasses\/gillian\/teal-tortoise\" target=\"_blank\">Shop Gillian<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.warbyparker.com\/learn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/winston-glasses.jpeg\" alt=\"Winston\" loading=\"lazy\" \/>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<h3>Winston<\/h3>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>Rosemary Crystal<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/www.warbyparker.com\/eyeglasses\/winston\/rosemary-crystal\" target=\"_blank\">Shop Winston<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.warbyparker.com\/learn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/york-glasses.jpeg\" alt=\"York\" loading=\"lazy\" \/>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<h3>York<\/h3>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>Brushed Navy<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/www.warbyparker.com\/eyeglasses\/york\/brushed-navy\" target=\"_blank\">Shop York<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"entry-content\"><!-- (reopen for inline block) -->\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Square Glasses<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Like their rectangular siblings, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.warbyparker.com\/eyeglasses\/square\">square glasses<\/a> work with oval faces because their strong lines and perpendicular angles provide contrast.
