Choosing the right pair of sunglasses isn’t just about staying on trend — it’s about enhancing your natural features and expressing your personal style. And when it comes to face shapes, those with an oval face are in luck. Oval faces are often considered the most versatile and well-balanced, making them the perfect canvas for a wide variety of sunglass styles.
But versatility doesn't mean just wearing anything. At ROYALTAIL, we design sunglasses that don’t just sit on your face — they flatter, define, and elevate your entire look. In this guide, we’ll help you understand your face shape, why you’re uniquely lucky if you have an oval face, and how to choose the perfect sunglasses — with a special focus on oval shape sunglasses.
Understanding the Oval Face Shape
An oval face typically has the following characteristics:
-
Forehead is slightly wider than the chin
-
High cheekbones
-
Gently rounded jawline
-
Length of the face is about 1.5 times the width
The symmetry and natural balance of an oval face give it the ability to carry a wide range of frame shapes and sizes — from round to square, cat-eye to aviator. That said, choosing the right sunglasses for your style and purpose can truly make your features pop.

What to Look For in Sunglasses for Oval Faces
While oval faces are flexible in styling, there are a few golden rules to follow to get the best out of your frames:
✅ Frame Width
Choose sunglasses that are as wide or slightly wider than the broadest part of your face. This helps maintain facial balance.
✅ Frame Positioning
Avoid oversized frames that sit too low — they can throw off the natural symmetry of your face. The top of the frame should align with or sit just above your eyebrows.
✅ Lens Height
Mid-to-tall lenses add structure and presence. Avoid extremely shallow lenses, as they might look too small and out of proportion.
What to Avoid (Yes, Even With an Oval Face)
While you can pull off most styles, here are a few things to avoid:
-
❌ Overly Narrow Frames: These can elongate your face in an unflattering way.
-
❌ Frames That Are Too Wide: Oversized is great — but not too oversized. If they go past your temples, it can overwhelm your features.
-
❌ Frames With Harsh Angles at the Temples: Can visually widen your face more than necessary.
ROYALTAIL Tip: Try on multiple styles (digitally or in person) and take profile photos. You’ll see what enhances your best angles instantly.
