Let’s get right to it. Have you ever looked into the mirror while holding up a pair of glasses, and groaned? It can be difficult to find the fredeo. If you have a rounder face, no sharp angles are needed. Just soft curves. There’s some good news, though! You can find frames that will work wonders. Let’s talk about this.
Think of opposites first. Contrast can be your best friend when it comes round faces. To add definition, look for frames with angular shapes. This sharp contrast is achieved by square or rectangular frames. Imagine it like balancing scales.
Have you ever tried cat-eye sunglasses? Guess what they’re doing? They look great on round faces. What are those upswept lines? It’s pure magic. They create the illusion of longer by lifting the eyes. Retro and chic.
Another strong contender? Geometric frames. Hexagons may sound strange, but they are perfect. The angular shapes add structure and break up the roundness. Try a pair of these shoes and you’ll see.
A quick tip: thin frames will look lost on a face that is round. To make a bold statement, choose thicker frames. Imagine the splash of color that would appear on a blank canvases. Thick frames can create this effect. And color, don’t even get me started. Add dimension with dark hues such as black or tortoiseshell.
For a moment, let’s talk about size. What if I have a round face and small frames? Total mismatch. Choose frames that are just a little bit wider than your widest part of the face. This will avoid the “bug-eye” look and provide balance.
Material is important. Metal frames have a delicate, lighter feel while chunky acetate frame give off a trendy, bold look. Imagine yourself commanding the room in these sturdy frames. That’s a lot of presence.
Sunglasses that have a round face also look good. Aviators, especially. These teardrop lenses can be worn for any occasion. Wear a pair and you will exude a cool, effortless vibe. It’s like Tom Cruise without the bomber jacket in “Top Gun”.
Mix things up. Play around with different styles. Try out different shapes and sizes to find the perfect fit. Imagine trying on pairs after pairs, and then–bingo. You finally find the perfect pair of shoes that feel like they were designed just for you.
Here’s a funny tale: Once, one of my friends who has a round-faced face, tried these huge, oversize glasses. She looked as if she had stepped into an old sitcom. We laughed a lot. Then she found a pair sleek rectangular glasses, and the difference was night and day. She suddenly had a sophisticated and sharp look. What is the moral of this story? Even fashion mistakes can lead to amazing finds.
Avoid frames that are too round or oval. This will repeat the shape of your facial features, and who wants to resemble a moon emoji, right? Variety is, after all, the spice of life. Glasses are the perfect way to show off your personality.
Ask for a second opinion if you are ever in doubt. An extra pair of eyes may be able to spot something you missed. Here’s an interesting idea: Visit a vintage store. You’ll often find unique frames in vintage shops that you can’t get anywhere else. You may find something amazing.
There you have it. Finding the right frames to fit a round-face is not rocket science. However, it does require some trial and errors. With a little patience and adventure, you can find the pair of glasses that will make you look like a million dollars. It’s time to take on the frame hunting!
