Round glasses for women have become a must-have accessory. Both retro and decidedly modern, they soften features, add character, and are suitable for both prescription and sunglasses. Here's our complete guide to choosing and wearing them with style.
Why round glasses are so appealing
The round shape evokes timeless elegance, from bohemian style to the sharpest designer silhouettes. Unlike angular frames, they soften a face and create a nice contrast with strong features. It's also a very versatile shape: it works just as well for everyday wear as it does with a more formal outfit.
What face shape for round glasses?
Round glasses are particularly flattering for:
- Square or rectangular faces: the roundness balances the angles of the jaw and forehead.
- Heart-shaped faces: they soften a wide forehead and draw the eye to the lower part of the face.
- Long faces: a well-rounded frame breaks up verticality and brings harmony.
If your face is already very round, opt for a thin and discreet round frame, or a slightly geometric version to maintain structure.
Round prescription or sunglasses?
Round prescription glasses for women are perfect for asserting a style while correcting vision: a round acetate or thin metal frame becomes a real fashion accessory. In a sunglass version, the round shape adds a highly sought-after vintage touch, ideal for completing a summer outfit or a bohemian look.
Small round glasses or large format?
Two schools of thought depending on the desired effect:
- Small round glasses: a definite retro nod, perfect for an assertive and minimalist style.
- Large format round glasses: more enveloping, they frame the face and are more noticeable.
The right approach: the width of the frame should remain close to the width of your face, and the top of the lenses should not go above your eyebrows.
How to wear round glasses with style
The round frame pairs wonderfully with sleek accessories. Combine them with minimalist jewelry for a balanced look, or a structured bag to contrast the softness of the curves. For a very chic monochrome look, also consider the Le Noir selection.
