Glasses for Oblong Faces
An oblong (or rectangular) face is clearly longer than it is wide, with forehead, cheeks, and jaw all close in width and long, straight sides. Styling adds horizontal volume and interrupts vertical lines — width at the sides, fringe across the forehead — to bring the proportions toward balance.

What to check before you buy
- Width: frames should end roughly where your temples do — not wider, not narrower.
- Eyes: pupils sit at or slightly above the lens centre line.
- Brows: the top rim traces just under the brow, not over it.
