What Glasses Look Good on Round Faces?
People with round faces need to pay attention to several key factors when choosing the right frames for their eyeglasses. These include choosing angled frames, choosing wider frames, choosing rimless or semi-rimless designs, and choosing frames that are darker and thicker in color. These techniques can help create a more harmonized and balanced facial proportions for people with round faces.
There are several frame styles that can be particularly appropriate for round faces.
1. Angular frame shapes
Angular, geometric frame shapes create a more defined, structured facial profile. Clean lines, angular squares, rectangles, and wayfarer style frames are good choices, as they can offset the roundness of the face and add structure to a soft, round face. Angular frames with slightly upturned corners also work well. Avoid overly rounded frames, as they can make a round face look fuller.

2. Wider frame shape
Wider frames extend beyond the widest part of the face, creating the visual effect of a longer, narrower face. Oversized frames are ideal for people with round faces, as they contrast with the roundness of the face and create an elongating effect. On the contrary, narrow frames make the face appear rounder.

3. Upturned frame shapes
Frame shapes with upturned outer edges can help elongate a round face, including cat eye frames, butterfly frames, and winged frames, etc. Upturned frame style eyeglasses draw the eyes upward, creating the illusion of a slimmer, more oval shape.
4. Half-rim frame shape
Half frame eyeglasses have a top and bottom frame, and this design can add some visual structure and contour to a round face. In addition, the slight weight of these half-rim frames can help to minimize the softness of round faces without being overpowering, and help to lengthen and slim the facial lines of round faces, making them look more three-dimensional and slender.
5. Darker frame shapes
Darker frames can help balance out the softer features of a round face, giving it a more refreshed and energetic look. Darker frames such as black, brown, dark grey, tortoiseshell or navy can accentuate the contours and three-dimensionality of a round face, creating a more refined and three-dimensional visual effect. In addition, darker frames tend to have a stronger and more powerful visual impact.

Lighter colored frames such as white, light grey or light colored frames may make the overall face appear rounder and softer, and may not add enough structure and dimension to a round face.
6. Thick frame shape
Thick frames add structure and definition to a round face because they are more of a “decorative” shape that helps to balance out rounded facial contours, visually lengthening and slimming the face, and this frame shape adds dimension and definition to a round face, creating more balanced and harmonized facial proportions.

In contrast, lighter and thinner frames, while creating a more refined look, may be too small to add enough structure to a round face, and may be swallowed up by rounded facial features, resulting in less visual contrast and refinement.
