Let’s go right in. Have you ever groaned when you look in the reflection, holding up two pairs of eyeglasses? Isn’t it frustrating to search for the right frames? Specially if you’re round–no sharp edges, just gentle curves. Good news! There are frames out there that you can use. Let’s eat the fat. Learn more.
Contrast is your friend when it comes to round faces. Contrast will help you to define round faces. If you want to add definition, opt for frames that have angular edges. You can create a sharp contrast with rectangular or square glasses. It’s like balancing your scales.
Have you ever worn cat-eyes glasses? They are enjoying a moment and guess what else? They look stunning on round-faced women. You know those lines that are upswept? Pure magic. The eyes are lifted and the illusion created is of greater length. Retro is very cool.
Another strong contender Geometric shapes. Hexagons seem strange at first, but they’re perfect. Angular patterns break up the roundness to add structure. I can assure you that they are worth trying.
Here’s one quick tip: Frames that are too thin can be lost on round faces. Choose bold, thick frames to make a strong statement. Imagine a splashing on a canvas that is blank. It’s amazing what thick frames do. And color, don’t even get me started. Add depth with dark colors such as black and tortoiseshell.
We should talk about sizes for a bit. Small frames on round faces? Total mismatch. Frames that are just slightly wider than your broadest face part will do. This helps to avoid the bug-eye effect and creates balance.
Material is equally important. Metal frames provide a more delicate and lighter look, while chunky acetate offers a stylish, modern appearance. Imagine your presence in those bold frames. It’s amazing how much presence that is.
Round faces also go well with sunglasses. Aviators, especially. The teardrop lenses make them versatile and timeless. With a pair of these lenses, you’ll have an instantly cool look. Similar to Tom Cruise, but without the bomber.
Mix it up! Play around with various styles. You may find that the hidden gem is in a variety of shapes and sizes. Imagine trying pairs of shoes after another, until suddenly you get lucky! You find the pair that is perfect for you.
Let’s tell a joke: one of my close friends, who has a rounder face, once wore these massive, oversized sunglasses. She looked just like she stepped out of a classic sitcom. We all laughed. When she finally found a pair, it was like night and morning. The look was now sophisticated and sharp. Moral to the story? Even fashion fauxpas can lead to fabulous discoveries.
Avoid choosing anything too rounded or oval. The shape is repeated, and who would want to look like the moon emoji?! Variety is indeed the spice for life. It’s a good way to do it.
You should always seek out a second or third opinion when in doubt. Often, a second set of eyes will see something that you have overlooked. Go to a thrift shop. Many vintage shops have unique frames which you will not be able find anywhere else. You may come across something exceptional.
Now, you’re good to go. It’s not rocket surgery, but finding the best frames for round faces can be a bit of a challenge. It takes a little bit of patience and some adventure to find that perfect pair of frames that makes you look and feel like a billion bucks. The frame search is now underway!
