Those with oval faces can try a wide range of designs, from geometric to aviator to cat-eye. The only styles to avoid are frames that are too small or overly oversized, as they can throw off the face’s natural harmony.

Your best-fitting frames should sit no more than a finger’s width from your face on each side, and the bridge should rest comfortably on your nose without slipping or causing pressure.
