Vintage Square Frames are ideal for you as they provide bold lines that complement the softer aesthetic of your round face. Go for some big square oversized sunglasses for the warmer weather or tone it down with some classic Christian Dior square frames for everyday wear.

Vintage Wayfarer Frames will give you a retro look that will stand the test of time. A classic wayfarer frame with it slightly wider brow will help to elongate your round face shape and keep you looking your best whatever the occasion.

Vintage Clubmaster Frames are perfect for round face shapes with their wire frame along the bottom have heaps of old-school style and like a wayfarer will provide a contrast to your curvy cheeks. Try to select a more angular clubmaster like our vintage Vuarnet frames to nail the angular style.
