Best Glasses for a Round Face Shape
Angular frames add definition and contrast to a soft face, and wider frames make it look longer.
This guide is for the round face shape: face length no more than 1.25 times the cheekbone width, with a soft jaw (under 90% of the cheekbone width).
Try
- Rectangular and square frames with a clear angle
- Frames that are slightly wider than the widest part of the face
- Cat-eye and browline styles that lift the eye line
- Dark, solid colours and bold temples that add structure
Skip or adjust
- Small, round frames that repeat the shape of the face
- Frames that are narrower than the cheeks
- Very thin, pale frames that disappear into the face
