Sunglasses for Round Faces: Best Frames, From $30

What a round face looks like

A round face is about as wide as it is long, with soft cheeks and a gently curved jaw. The goal with frames is usually to add a little structure and avoid repeating the curve.

Shapes that add definition

Angular and square frames add lines against soft features. Browse the classic square and round styles, where the straighter edges do this job. Double-bridge styles also add a strong horizontal line, see the double-bridge styles.

Go a little wider than the face

Frames slightly wider than the cheekbones make the face look longer. Very small round lenses can make a round face look rounder, so test a wider pair first.

What to be careful with

Perfectly round, thin frames can echo the face shape. They can still look good, it is simply a matter of taste.

Lens colors

Dark brown and grey are easy neutrals. For a lighter look try a soft tint. The lens color guide shows each option.

Check the fit

The frame should sit evenly on both ears and not press on your cheeks. If you are unsure, our face shape guide has more tips.
