What are oval glasses?

Oval glasses have lenses that are wider than they are tall, with softly rounded corners. The shape sits between round and rectangular and gives a calm, classic expression. Oval frames suit most face shapes and are a safe choice if you are unsure. At Corlin, the oval models are Selma, Aidan and Louis, from 1,299 SEK. See all oval eyeglass frames

Which oval glasses should I choose?

All three models have the same lens width, 52 millimeters. What differs is the height of the lenses and the total width of the frame.

Model Lens width Bridge Total width Lens height Often suits
Selma 52 mm 19 mm 140 mm 36 mm Small to medium faces
Aidan 52 mm 19 mm 139 mm 37 mm Most face shapes
Louis 52 mm 17 mm 143 mm 31 mm Most faces, except long faces

Who do oval glasses suit?

Oval glasses suit most people, because the shape is neither too angular nor too round. They follow the natural lines of the face and usually work with oval, square, heart-shaped and diamond-shaped faces.

If you have a round face, an oval frame can work, but rectangular frames usually add more structure. If you have a long face, low frames like Louis are a weaker choice, because they cover less of the length of the face. A taller frame works better then.

Tip: unsure which face shape you have? Our guide to glasses for your face shape shows how to find out.

Oval, round or rectangular glasses?

The shape affects the expression as much as the color. This is how oval glasses differ from the other shapes.

Slim or low oval glasses?

Oval frames can look quite different depending on how tall the lenses are. A taller oval feels softer, while a low oval gives a narrower, cleaner look.
