Round Prescription Glasses for Different Face Shapes

While round prescription glasses are typically flattering across the board, there are some face shapes that work better with these frames than others.

For example, those who have a naturally round face shape might find a better balance with their look by going for square frames, or cat-eye frames.

Round prescription glasses on round face shapes can work, and work well - but you might have to spend more time taking things like the size of the frame into account than someone who does not have as much curve in their facial structure.

Generally speaking, round prescription glasses on oval face shapes work better than with some other circular face shapes, due to the way that the round frames bring balance to the greater length found in oval shaped faces.

You’ll find that round prescription glasses on face shapes that feature sharper angles, and less natural balance between the length and width of the face benefit the most from the balanced proportions of a circular frame shape.

Round metal glasses frames are a great choice for people with both warm and cool underlying skin tones because you can find them in both warm and cool colors.

If you like the look of metal round prescription glasses, a silver-tone frame would be particularly flattering if your skin features cool undertones. On the contrary, if you have warm undertones to your skin, a gold-tone metal could give you an effortless upgrade to your look.

If you’re looking for a pop of color, the same principle applies. Warm works best with warm and cool pairs best with cool. If you want to add more flair to your frames, you can find patterned round prescription glasses too, which offer an unmistakably modern spin to this otherwise timeless style.

Of course, classic black frames are always a solid choice that works well with both warm and cool skin tones. You can find black round framed glasses in just about any material, like coated metal and acrylic.

Prefer to keep your look simple? If so, you might want to check out a pair of round rimless glasses. The rimless look works really well with circular lenses, which takes the hassle out of choosing a color while simultaneously looking trendy.

If you want a little bit of color, half rim circle glasses are another great choice.

If this past century is any indication, the round prescription glasses trend is here to stay. With a style as timeless at the round frame, you really can’t go wrong - so grab a pair of round prescription glasses with confidence and know that they’ll have you looking great for years to come.
