3 Eyewear Tips For Oblong Faces

When you read about face shapes in beauty or fashion magazines

, the typical list includes oval, square, heart, and diamond. However, there are plenty of other facial silhouettes to consider as well, especially when it comes to shopping for designer eyeglasses. Many men and women have oblong faces, which are narrow in width and are a bit longer than they are wide. Cheekbones are typically centered and angular, with long lines in the forehead and nose. Think Ashlee Simpson, Sarah Jessica Parker, Adam Levine, etc. Keeping this in mind will be helpful on your next trip to purchase a pair of designer glasses, as will these tips:

1.Stand tall. - Taller frames have a shortening effect on your face, therefore keeping your long features balanced. Go for a pair of larger lenses like Ray Ban Wayfarer sunglasses. You may know the iconic sunglass design, but did you hear that it is also available in an optical version? So whether you are looking for a pair of chic glasses, or simply love the Wayfarer so much that you want to wear it every way you can, Ray Ban has got you covered.

2.Stay large and in charge. - Smaller frames can increase the length of your face, giving an illusion that it is longer than it actually is. Stay away from the lenses that are shorter in length, such as narrow, rectangular designs that will throw off the balance you are hoping to achieve.

3.Get funky. - Since oblong faces have a short width, you may want to look for frames that help visually increase that horizontal line. The best way to do this is with a frame that has interesting embellishments on the arms and temples, or with a frame that has heavier detail along the top line of its silhouette. For example, Kamuro eyeglasses are known for their Japanese-inspired details on the sides, such as the square and rectangular stones along the arms of Kamuro Collage glasses. Face a Face has plenty of styles with accented temples as well, such as Face a Face Axess 4 eyeglasses in color 259.

For the latter style, there are an infinite amount of options, including Ray Ban Clubmaster sunglasses, Face a Face Ebony 1 eyeglasses in color 783, and CHANEL sunglasses in style A40921. The top accents have a broadening effect on the face.
