While you may just think of chubby or thin, square or round, there are a lot of different face shapes out there.

Men or women can have an oblong face {think of Gwyneth Paltrow or Leo DiCaprio}- it just means that proportionately, the length is longer than the width of the face.  Thus, it’s  a narrow face and usually has angular features with high cheekbones, a longer nose, and a tall forehead.  Because of the length of the face, it’s important to wear tall frames that take up some space to create a shorter face.  Another tip is to try to add width by wearing broader glasses with an accented top rim or decorative temple.  This may all seem trivial, but little details are what make a look, even for celebs.

Let’s check out some broad, decorative-rimmed frames.

“Face Off“- these are colorful, broad frames that definitely add width to the oblong face.

“Accomplice“- what gorgeous, ultra-mod frames!

Here are some options for men.

“Atlantic Ave“- check out the cool decorative details at the temples.

“Geek“- the geek chic is still out there and definitely a contender for broad frames.
