The Best Glasses and Sunglasses for Oval Face Shapes

Have you been shopping for eyewear with friends before and found that one of your buddies looks great in almost everything they try on whilst you struggle for hours? That lucky guy or girl almost certainly has an oval face shape. The narrower forehead and slightly narrowed chin of an oval face create a great sense of balance that mean you can be really playful in your eyewear choices

If that friend we spoke of above is you – Go Away – just kidding! You can get away with amazing statement vintage Cazal eyewear and funky 90s minimalist frames and the rest of us are all just jealous!

Why not refine your choice of eyewear for an oval face by selecting a pair of vintage glasses or vintage sunglasses that can emphasise the strongest points of your face shape and even your eye colour. Here the classic rules still apply which is to add some angle to softer curved sections of your face and also pick a frame that will contrast with your eye colour if you are choosing some vintage prescription glasses.
