Sunglasses for the Rectangular Face
The Oblong or Rectangular Face
Because it is longer than it is wide, the oblong face needs a frame that is deeper than it is wide to shorten the face or to create the illusion of a shorter face. Frames should break the length of the face, making the face appear shorter and wider. Frames should have top to bottom depth. To soften the face, try round, deep, or low triangle shapes, or frames with strong vertical lines. A low bridge will also shorten the nose.
