Those looking for the perfect glasses for the shape of their face need to just bear a few things in mind – these will ensure that your reading glasses are a fashionable accessory to complement your personality. OVAL FACE ----------- ![Icon oval face shape](https://d3rbxgeqn1ye9j.cloudfront.net/fileadmin/www.filtral.com/Grafiken/Web_Grafik_Gesicht_oval_161020.svg?1476955964) \+ You are lucky! Almost anything suits this type of face – whether aviator glasses or a wider frame, whether angled glasses or XXL frames. – If your face is particularly long, it is generally good to avoid wearing glasses with a small lens. ![reading glasses style stockholm for oval faces](https://d3rbxgeqn1ye9j.cloudfront.net/images/rF17SfyzZd6I3jxaQvPrIJDhqFYZC7b5-FJHO2XVmnk/w:550/h:550/fn:Y3NtX3N0b2NraG9sbS5nYWxsZXJ5LnNjaHdhcnpfMjc4MzMzODY1Mw:t/cb:23b791dec77a3c45ba9f91c8b073b70dd66e2898/el:1/fq:jpeg:85:avif:70:webp:80/aHR0cHM6Ly9kM3JieGdlcW4xeWU5ai5jbG91ZGZyb250Lm5ldC9maWxlYWRtaW4vYW1hem9uL0xlc2VicmlsbGVuXzIwMTgvU3RvY2tob2xtL3N0b2NraG9sbS5nYWxsZXJ5LnNjaHdhcnoucG5nPzE1OTg4ODQ1MjI) [ ![reading glasses style rio for oval faces](https://d3rbxgeqn1ye9j.cloudfront.net/images/Ouw5M2KJth1vSlJY1biuhCyE_384oT1Jb4HEeMzWz2U/w:550/h:309/fn:Y3NtX3Jpby5ibGF1LmhhdmFubmEubWFpbl84NmFhZDRiMGFm:t/cb:42fa819d15316aa666b3f7920d50a77434e0e152/el:1/fq:jpeg:85:avif:70:webp:80/aHR0cHM6Ly9kM3JieGdlcW4xeWU5ai5jbG91ZGZyb250Lm5ldC9maWxlYWRtaW4vYW1hem9uL0xlc2VicmlsbGVuXzIwMTgvUmlvL3Jpby5ibGF1LmhhdmFubmEubWFpbi5qcGc_MTYxNTgxMzQzNw) ](https://www.filtral.com/en/reading-glasses/rio) ANGULAR FACE -------------- ![Icon angular face shape](https://d3rbxgeqn1ye9j.cloudfront.net/fileadmin/www.filtral.com/Grafiken/Web_Grafik_Gesicht_eckig_161020.svg?1476955963) \+ Thin frames and round lens have a soft, harmonious effect. They are often a perfect contrast to an angular face. – Angular frames can often seem too angled and severe unless, of course, the wearer wants to go for a particularly striking appearance.

Rimless models are often also suitable. – Round or very large glasses can accentuate the shape and tend to make the face look short and wide.

Cateye shapes also suit this type well. – Downwards tapered (aviator sunglasses) often do not flatter the chin area. Large glasses should be avoided, too.
