What makes oval faces special

An oval face is slightly longer than wide, with a forehead that's marginally wider than the jaw and gently rounded cheekbones. Think Beyoncé, Rihanna, Jessica Alba — classic oval faces that can rock literally anything. Your only real rule? Don't pick frames so large they overwhelm your proportions.

The one thing to watch out for

Don't go too oversized. Frames that are significantly wider than your cheekbones or that cover your eyebrows look out of proportion even on an oval face. Everything else is fair game.
