Round or oval-shaped sunglasses are suitable for a wide range of face shapes. Prescription round sunglasses provide sun protection and vision correction while softening the angles of a diamond- or triangle-shaped face. Draw attention toward particular features on a broader square or heart-shaped face. A variety of plastic and metal frames and lens tints are available for this style of eyewear.
Frames for Your Face Shape
The particular design of a pair of frames may flatter different face shapes. In general, round lenses of any size balance angular face shapes. Big round prescription sunglasses are a statement piece that may be best suited for square face shapes.
Round frames typically have consistent thickness. This stylistic tendency may make these frames less suitable for drawing attention upward toward the browbone than square lenses with curved lower portions. If your face is heart-shaped or triangular, you may prefer fitted round glasses to oversized lenses that can obscure your cheekbones. Round glasses that are sized appropriately can accentuate the features of these shapes and even an oval or round face.
Trendy Round Sunglasses
Round sunglasses are less common than rectangular lenses, which makes this eyewear more likely to stand out. Many round prescription sunglasses feature vintage styling. Plastic frames may be available with tortoiseshell patterns or contrasting front and interior frame colours. Metal frames provide a more conventional look or minimalist design that flatters more rounded faces without overwhelming features.
Depending on the design of round frames, the front, bridge, endpiece, and temples may be made of the same material. In some cases, thicker endpieces may draw attention upward toward the browline. Depending on the shape of your face and the look you desire, you may want to select round sunglasses that provide a close fit that conforms to your face or consider oversized lenses. All of these styles are on-trend, and sunglasses with round lenses are sure to make an impression.
