Round face shape features
If you’re unsure about your face shape, look no further.
You have a round face shape if your face has these features:
- the sides of your face curve slightly outward instead of going straight,
- your chin is rounded,
- your cheekbones are the widest part of your face.
You can also use our virtual try-on tool to find your face shape with just a few clicks.

Top sunglasses for round face shape
Rectangular frames, geometric frames, square frames and wayfarers are the styles that look the best on round faces. Here are some of our favourite picks for each style:
Rectangular Prada sunglasses
Rectangular shape frames will enhance your round face by contrasting your round features with a more angular shape. After all, creating interest with your style is often about contrast and the sharp edges and angular features of geometric designs will provide just that, in a balanced way.
The Prada PR 17WS Symbole sunglasses are a great pick, being both stylish and comfortable. These frames are gorgeous full rim, with dark gray lenses that give them a sophisticated feel. Perfect for bright beach days or hiding behind after a fun night out.
Square Dolce & Gabbana sunglasses
This may be a bold choice for a round face, but it’s sure to capture attention and exude main character energy. Square frames have sharp angles in broad frames, so just as rectangular frames, they provide a nice contrast to complement rounded features.
We recommend these Dolce & Gabbana DG4414F sunglasses with a large square frame and gradient brown lenses. Their dark tortoise transparent brown frame is sturdy, giving them a classy, elevated look.
Miu Miu oval sunglasses
Oval sunglasses work for several face shapes, making them a safe bet for many. They also come in a range of sizes, so you’re sure to find just the right fit to flatter your softer features. For example, the Miu Miu MU52YS sunglasses are great for round faces, and their slim design is sure to make you feel as stylish as you’ll look.
These are versatile and work for both men and women with a round face shape. The distinctive shape of these sunglasses draws attention to the face by softening the round features to appear more balanced.
Large Oakley sunglasses
Another great pair for large round faces, Oakley OO9417 HOLBROOK has a rectangle frame with keyhole bridge and metal rivets. This design ensures comfort and a snug fit on the face. What’s even better, you can choose from seven different lens colours to really customise your look.
Top eyeglasses for round face shape
Here are some of the best eyeglasses for a round face shape:
Gunnar unisex square glasses
If you’re looking for blue light-blocking eyeglasses, Gunnar has a unisex model that comes in a range of different colours. Made in a light polycarbonate and plastic body, these lightweight glasses will feel comfortable all day, so they’re great for those spending hours on end in front of a screen.
Square frames are always great for round faces as they balance out the soft features. They also make round faces appear longer and thinner, thanks to the contrast.
We recommend the Gunnar INTERCEPT Blue-Light Block INT-00113 frames for anyone who wants to prioritise comfort and eye protection when using a computer at length. The nose pads and curved temples prevent them from slipping while you’re working, gaming, or binging your favourite TV shows. They’re also hypoallergenic, which makes them great for those with more sensitive skin.
Oakley full rim rectangle glasses
Here, we have another frame with a sleek rectangular design, which pairs perfectly with the soft features of a round face. These Oakley OX3227 FULLER glasses in satin black are great for everyday use. Their full-rimmed metal frames make them sturdy yet lightweight. Made in a special alloy material, these rectangular frames feel nearly undetectable on your face.
For further comfort, they come with spring hinges and sculptural temples to guarantee a good fit around the ears and nose, and the Three-Point Fit design ensures the optical alignment is just right.
Burberry rectangular glasses
Opt for the Burberry BE2073 glasses with a shiny tortoiseshell-coloured frame if you want to ooze sophistication. The acetate material is lightweight and sturdy enough for everyday use. These frames exude elegance with their sharp rectangular shape and almost undetectable cat-eye effect.
The perfect fit for you
Now that you’ve had a tour through our extensive range of glasses and sunglasses, you’re well-equipped to choose the styles that best suit you. Styles with angular designs work best to complement the softer appearance of round face shapes, but it’s also good to experiment to find the pair that’s just right for your personal style.
