Sunglasses have come a long way from just being eyewear to protect against the sun's harmful rays. They are now fashionable and can enhance your outfit, too. But what are the best sunglasses for oval faces? Which shapes accentuate their features? The best sunglass shapes for oval faces are geometric — this includes rectangular, square, D-squared, and polygonal — Aviator, cat eye, and round.
Geometric-shaped sunglasses have sharp lines and angles that accentuate the cheekbones and balance out the symmetrical features of your face.
Aviator sunglasses are a classic choice for many face shapes. Since oval-shaped faces have foreheads that are slightly wider than their jawlines, the signature teardrop shape of Aviator sunglasses draws the attention away from your forehead to your cheekbones and chin. The frames in the A-series won't be too wide, which can unbalance your features, but they'll give you that instant rock star look. Some collections feature frames that are a little bit wider for a more dramatic appearance.
The retro cat-eye look has come back into style with tremendous popularity in recent years. The sweeping brow lines of cat-eye frames will highlight your facial features like Aviators do. Just make sure to get them in the appropriate width for your face.
Sunglasses that are rounded are probably the only sunglasses that oval-faced wearers can rock in an oversize version. A good pair of round sunglasses will balance out the angles of your face. Their thin, wire frames will prevent the shape from unbalancing your features, even in a larger size. Our frames at Blenders make for great polarized sunglasses for oval faces. We also offer polycarbonate sunglasses for oval faces to protect your eyes from glare. You can even get prescription lenses put in your frames so you can see clearly when driving. We'll be happy to answer any questions you may have, so give us a call.
