The Best Sunglasses for Round Faces

The Best Sunglasses for Round Faces: A Comprehensive Guide

When it comes to summer fashion, sunglasses are a top priority! But with all the different styles of sunglasses on the market, which one will suit your cute and charming round face? Join us as we explore and reflect on this fascinating topic.

How to tell if you have a round face

It's easier than you think to find out if your face is round or not in just three steps:

1. Firstly, use a soft ruler to measure the length of your face along the longitudinal midline
2. Secondly, find the forehead, cheeks, and chin and measure the width of these three areas, the widest part being the width of the face.
3. If the length and width of the face are similar and the chin area is rounded, it is considered a round face.

What is the best sunglasses shape for round faces?

We'll be featuring a few sunglasses that are very stylish and suitable for round faces, which will help you quickly filter out the right type for you. However, we still think that what style of sunglasses looks great is a subjective matter.

Square Sunglasses

The epitome of bold and unique, square frames is by far one of the best choices for round faces. The rigid linear silhouette is paired with the softness of a round face and I have to say: perfect! If you're intrigued by square frames, you can click on the patterns to find styles in a variety of colors.

Oval Sunglasses

Another option for round faces is the oval frame, which is also one of the popular sunglasses frames. The uplifted design will give your face a strong sense of contour, as well as a slimming effect. This style of frame usually does not have an exaggerated change in angle and is more focused on balancing with the shape of your face and has an elongated visual effect.

Aviator Sunglasses

Although some articles will mention that aviator sunglasses don't suit round faces, I don't agree. Usually, vintage aviator frames are very slimming on the face, and the square shape of the frame can set off and balance the contours of a round face. It's a pretty exciting option for men and women.

Oversized sunglasses

Yes, there is a frame for all face shapes, and it's an oversized frame! Suitable for any occasion, especially for ladies. If you choose a thick-rimmed metal frame, I'm sure you'll have people gazing at your gorgeousness everywhere you go.

Tips for Choosing the Perfect Sunglasses

 Choose a frame wider than your face

A wider frame will have a visually extended effect and will perfectly balance out the lack of visible contour on a round face, enhancing your appearance

The Shape of the Frame

Select frames that do not resemble the contours of your face as much as possible, as more similar frames will visually enlarge your face 

Pay attention to the color and material of the frame

The color and material of the frame will often change how the shades look on the face. If you want to try an oval-shaped frame, choose a frame color that is transparent for a better fit.
