Which glasses suit an oval face?
The oval face is the most balanced: slightly longer than wide, with soft contours. Almost every shape works, so the real question becomes style and comfort.
How to recognise this face
- The face is a little longer than it is wide.
- The forehead is slightly wider than the chin.
- The cheekbones are the widest part, with no sharp angle.
- The chin is rounded.
Goal: Preserve the existing balance: choose primarily by style, use and width.

Frequently asked
- Can an oval face wear anything?
- Almost. The limit is mostly size: a disproportionate frame stays disproportionate, whatever the face shape.
- How do you choose when everything works?
- Start from use: screens, outdoors, all-day wear. That's the criterion that will really matter after a month.
