What shape of sunglasses for a round face ?

What sunglasses best suit a round face?

Sunglasses are an essential piece of sun protection equipment, but they're also a fashion accessory.
It is therefore important for your pair of sunglasses to fit you well and fit harmoniously with your face.
If you have a round face, you should thus choose the shape of your sunglasses frame with this personal feature in mind.

The importance of facial morphology in eyewear

Selecting the ideal pair of sunglasses can seem difficult, as there are so many criteria to take into account.
While the most important is the level of sun protection, many other parameters are more closely linked to a person's physical appearance.
So, when choosing the shade of frame, hair colour or complexion should, for example, be considered.
In addition, the wearer's facial morphology is essential in the selection of sunglasses to create balance.
In fact, the shape of the frame must match that of the face to create a harmonious visual result.
In the eyewear sphere, several different facial shapes are specifically distinguished.
These include rectangular, round, square, diamond, triangular or even diamond-shaped ones.
Each of these facial morphologies will have its corresponding frame shapes.
For each face, certain pairs of sunglasses are thus perfectly suited, while others are not recommended.
It's therefore essential to identify your facial morphology beforehand in order to choose the right pair of sunglasses for you.

Which sunglasses for a round face?

People with a round face generally have facial features that are as long as they are wide, slightly accentuated and rather gentle.
Ideally, the shape of the sunglasses frame will elongate the face a little to refine it and break up its roundness.
Geometric sunglasses are particularly recommended for this purpose.
For example, someone with a round face might opt for a square, hexagonal or rectangular frame.
For more originality, sunglasses with cat-eye frames can also go well with a rounded face.
On the other hand, some shapes of sunglasses should be avoided for a round face.
Round and oval shapes are particularly not recommended for this type of morphology.
Similarly, people with a rounded face should avoid wearing sunglasses that are too small or too high.
Don't hesitate to ask your Optical Center optician for advice on finding your ideal pair of sunglasses.
