Bangs are totally hot and if you have an oval face, you can get away with all bang types: brow-skimming bangs, long, side-swept bangs, short bangs, heavy bangs, etc.

The key to bangs is to make sure they aren't too short, or they'll look dated as in the picture on the left. The best bangs are brow-skimming and a bit longer on the ends than in the middle. Also consider long, side-swept bangs, which can hide a high forehead while showing off the eyes.
