What does a round face look like?
A round face typically features soft curves, full cheeks, and a rounded chin. The width and length of a round face are usually roughly equal, creating a symmetrical and youthful appearance.
To determine a round face shape accurately, the easiest and most reliable method is using an online face shape detector. Here’s how it works:
- Select photo/ enable live camera
- AI starts analyze the face shape
- See the result!
What glasses look best on round faces?
Since round faces are defined by soft curves, the goal is to introduce structure and definition through angular frames.
Rectangular frames
Rectangular frames are universally cited as the top choice for round faces. They break up the softness of the face, making it appear longer and thinner. The sharp horizontal lines provide a necessary counterbalance to full cheeks.
Square glasses
Square glasses offer similar benefits but with a bolder, more fashion-forward aesthetic. The corners of a square frame add distinct points of interest, drawing the eye outward and creating the illusion of a more chiseled jawline.
Cat-eye glasses
It's a timeless favorite that achieves exactly this. The upswept corners of a cat-eye frame draw attention upward, emphasizing the eyes and lifting the cheekbones. This style adds a touch of retro glamour while serving a very functional purpose of elongating the face.
Geometric frames
Geometric frames are trending heavily in 2026. Hexagonal or octagonal shapes provide the necessary angles to offset roundness but feel unique and modern compared to standard rectangles. They are perfect for women who want to make a statement.
Oversized frames
Oversized frames can also work beautifully, provided they have strong, thick rims. A bold, chunky frame adds significant definition to the face, acting as a structural anchor that soft features often lack.
Browline glasses
If you prefer a softer look, consider Browline glasses. These frames have a heavy top rim that mimics the eyebrow line, adding definition to the upper face while keeping the bottom rim subtle or rimless.
Wayfarer-style glasses
Wayfarer-style glasses are another excellent option for men. Their trapezoidal shape provides angles that widen the upper part of the face, balancing out fuller cheeks effectively.
Aviators
Aviators can be tricky, but square-shaped aviators (navigators) work wonders. The teardrop shape of classic aviators might be too round, but the squared-off versions offer a cool, masculine edge that suits round faces perfectly.
