How to identify a oblong face

The face is noticeably longer than it is wide, with fairly even width through the forehead, cheekbones and jaw. Face shape results are estimates based on visible proportions, so many people sit between two categories.

Best hairstyles

Fringe, side-swept bangs, waves and volume at the sides can visually balance a longer face.

Best glasses

Wider frames, aviators, browlines and frames with more lens depth help break up vertical length.
