The secret to finding eyeglasses for a round face shape is to create contrast between your frames and your face. Consider rocking a pair of square or rectangular frames to balance your features. Experiment with some of the latest trends, such as a pair of wooden or transparent frames. Or, try a pair of classic cat-eye glasses. Take a peek below at the many flattering options for round faces. 

What is your face shape? 

A round face usually has fuller cheeks, which can often give a more youthful appearance. The chin is rounder and the forehead widens at the top. In some cases, the jawline is softer than other face shapes. If this sounds like you, there are many glasses styles that will complement your features perfectly.

How to pick glasses frames for your face

Transparent frames

Transparent frames have been a big hit recently, and they aren't going away anytime soon. Whether clear or with a very faint tint, these frames are almost invisible from a distance and make it easy to clearly see the soft features of a round face. 

Full-rim glasses

Round faces look flattering against strong, angular lines. Full-rimmed glasses have thicker frames that fully enclose the lenses and will balance your features. They also come in a multitude of styles, including square, cat eye and rectangular.  

Wooden frames

Wooden eyeglasses are one of the hottest trends that pair perfectly with round face shapes. The natural materials used in these frames give this style an elegant feel.

Rectangular glasses 

Iconic rectangular glasses are a classic choice for people with round faces. These frames can bring a touch of old Hollywood to your look. Plus, their distinctive angles often add contrast to your features. 

Stylish glasses for round faces come in all sorts of shapes and colors. Try adding a pop of color to a frame that catches your eye, or go with a soft, neutral champagne color. Regardless of your color preference, be sure you select the right size frames.  

If you have a round face, it's important that your frames aren't too small. Otherwise, they may not provide enough contrast to your facial features or be uncomfortable to wear. Measuring your temple width and pupillary distance can help you get the ideal fit. 

Schedule an eye exam to get your prescription and order frames that flatter your lovely, round face.
