Glasses for Oblong Face: Frame Depth, Width, and Shape Compared

Oblong-face guides repeatedly use visible depth or upper-face width, but they do not prescribe one universal frame.

Short answer first

Compare deep frames, square glasses, cat-eye glasses, aviators, and tall frames. All five appear below; avoid choosing by face shape before checking actual bridge and temple fit.

How the measurements were added

Square, cat-eye, and aviator rows use named models and the three dimensions published on their linked official product pages. Deep and tall remain “Not stated” because those source terms describe proportions rather than named product shapes.

Honesty note. “Deep” and “tall” are source descriptions, not measured bands here. Compare a candidate with a frame that already fits and verify the printed measurements.
