The abyss

Round glasses soften strong or angular features, ideal for square and rectangular faces. They highlight natural symmetry and add a creative, vintage touch. For round faces, look for thinner or slightly flattened circles to avoid accentuating curves.

Round frames can visually shorten long faces if too small, or exaggerate width on wider ones. Keep the frame edges within your temples for harmony. The goal is balance, a circular frame should feel light, not dominant.
