Unveiling the Perfect Frames for a Round Face

Whether you like to live your life square or live your life round, embrace the allure of square frames that effortlessly add definition and angles to round facial features. Square frames are a versatile and stylish choice, particularly complementing round and oval face shapes. In this guide, we’ll explore why square frames are an excellent match for round faces, how to identify your face shape, and showcase some square frames to elevate your eyewear game.

Identifying Your Face Shape

Determining your face shape is the first step to finding frames that enhance your natural beauty. Oval and round faces share softer contours, making square frames an ideal choice to introduce structure and balance. To identify your face shape, follow these simple steps:

  • Oval Face Shape: Forehead width is slightly greater than the jawline, and the face gently narrows towards the chin.
  • Round Face Shape: Prominent cheekbones, similar width of forehead and jawline, with a soft, circular shape.

Now that you’ve identified your round or oval face shape, it’s time to explore square frames that will bring balance to the curves and proportions. Here are some standout options:

All the Bells and Whistles

Embrace contemporary style with these clear square frames. The angular design of square frames complements the softer curves of a round face, creating a harmonious balance. These frames tastefully combine three materials: a clear acetate, a gold metal hinge, and tortoise shell temples. We especially love the gold hinge that subtly adds sophistication to an already-chic frame. Crafted with lightweight and durable materials, these frames offer both comfort and fashion-forward appeal.
