Do oval reading glasses suit specific face shapes better than others?

Oval reading glasses have been a round for ages (get it?) and remain a classic option that exudes an extremely erudite aura. While they may suit some face shapes better than others, we’d encourage you not to limit yourself – if you like them, wear them. With that being said, common eyewear advice dictates that those with more angular features are best suited to oval frames. Those with square, diamond, and heart-shaped faces will find that oval readers soften the sharp angles of their face, bringing balance to their features. Not that you weren’t well-balanced already – this will simply up the ante.

Can oval reading glasses accommodate progressive lenses?

Most oval reading glasses can accommodate progressive lenses, no problem. For those who need a refresher, progressive lenses host your reader prescription in the bottom third and your distance prescription in the top third, with a blended focus area in the middle that makes the change – wait for it – progressive. Bet you didn’t see that one coming. We do have some potential bad news we must share with our friends with the tiniest of heads, or who prefer the tiniest of frames: the smallest ovals we offer simply don’t give progressive lenses enough space to be themselves. They’re pretty spectacular, so it’s only fair that you pick a frame that gives progressive lenses ample space for all three of their focus areas.

Are oval reading glasses more suitable for casual or formal occasions?

Here’s the beauty of oval reading glasses: they’re incredibly versatile, effortlessly transitioning from casual to formal settings. You might even say they’re well-rounded. For the oval-obsessed, let colors and patterns accentuate your look for different occasions. Sport a classic tortoiseshell pair while running errands to lend a sense of stylish importance to your everyday look. Save the purple and fuschia multi-stripe ovals for your next board meeting to ensure your presentation will be nothing short of hypnotic. When you curate your frames to set the tone for the occasion, every moment becomes a well-framed experience.

What are the most popular frame colors for oval reading glasses?

Bright colors are all the rage right now, especially when paired with an oversized frame. Think bubblegum pink, electric blue, and fiery red. If seeing in color isn’t really your style, a classic black frame will never steer you wrong. The same goes for tortoiseshell frames, a frequent pick for those looking to look incredibly savvy. Desiring to step outside the box just a tad? Gold frames and white frames are simultaneously neutral and attention-grabbing.

Do oval reading glasses come in different frame materials, such as metal or plastic?

Indeed, they do. Our metal oval reading glasses are made with the highest-grade stainless steel available, meaning they have near-superhuman strength (read: they won’t break if flung to the floor by a toddler or stepped on by a dog). We know the feeling of a good frame gone too soon, so go metal if your glasses tend to have a short shelf life. We also offer frames made of high-quality Italian-designed acetate, which come in a wide range of colors and patterns. They may technically be plastic, in the same way that a Ferrari and an old jalopy are both technically cars.
