Key Factors to Consider for Round Faces (Buying Guide)

If you’re still torn between two or more options from the previous section, then these factors will help you narrow it down: 

Frame Shape and Size

If you want to intentionally make your face look more defined, choose sunglasses with square or rectangular frames.

The cat-eye options have this upswept design that elongates the face and adds a chic touch.

If you’d rather enhance the face's upper half, stick with two-tone, browline, or clubmaster sunglasses.

QUICK TIPS: 

• Pick a frame that is slightly wider than your face to create a slimming effect.

• Also, a higher nose bridge can make your face look longer.

Lens Dimensions and Curvature

The lens shape, size, and curvature can impact how sunglasses frame your face.

Flat or slightly wrapped lenses work best for round faces. Avoid overly curved lenses and opt for edgy, structured designs.

Material and Weight

When picking sunglasses, the material affects comfort, durability, and aesthetics.

Those with acetate are durable, lightweight, and come in various colors.

Metal frames are great for a sleek, minimalistic look.

Style and Finish

Apart from function, sunglasses should enhance your style while complementing your round face.

Sunglasses with black, brown, and dark colors can help define soft facial features, but if they have bold upper sections, they will draw attention upward, elongating the face.

Our collection of women's sunglasses offers the perfect frames to complement your features. 

With bold upper sections that draw the eye upward and elongate your face to stylish dark colors that define soft facial contours, you'll find frames that don't just protect your eyes—they enhance your entire look.

Final Thoughts: Find Your Perfect Pair of Sunglasses

Round faces can easily be complemented with the perfect frame. Not only can you enhance your features, but you can also go with a bold design that makes a statement. 

These six stellar options don't just sit on your face—they transform your entire look, highlighting those gorgeous cheekbones and creating the perfect balance that makes heads turn. 

Whether you're reaching for those bold square frames that add structure or those upswept cat-eyes that visually lift your features, you've now got the perfect toolkit for sunglasses success!
