Cutler and Gross GR13 Oval Opticals

Ovals have a way of making a face look considered rather than styled, and the GR13 optical frame leans into that. The eye shape is gently elongated, rounding off hard angles and adding a little softness across the cheekbone.

Acetate gives the front its body and its colour. Striped Dark Green reads almost black at a distance before the stripe emerges in daylight; Havana is the warm, tortoiseshell-inflected classic; and Black Horn is the safe choice that never behaves like one.

With a 49mm lens width, this is a compact-to-medium frame. If you have a narrower face, or you simply want glasses that stay contained rather than dominating, it should sit comfortably.
