Round Eyeglasses: A New Must Have

Want to get the hottest eyeglass frame shape of the season? Then don’t be a square… consider the vintage round eyeglass look!

Round glasses first made their appearance on the fashion scene in the roaring 1920s. An English company called Windsor trademarked this style of frame that featured two very round glasses lenses with wire or metallic temples and rims. Round sunglasses came back en vogue a few years ago, but this is the first season in quite a while where you’ll find lots of all-day wear frames sporting this trendy shape.

Move Over Harry Potter

Round glasses don’t have to look nerdy or antique! In fact, some of the hottest round frames are not metal like their predecessors. Instead they are hot patterns like tortoise shell or they come in a geek chic – all black look.

Round glasses not only make a fashion statement but their styling looks great on a lot of different face shapes. Especially if your face is oval, rectangle or square shaped, you’ll love the way round glasses soften your features!

Get Noticed

If your goal is to find glasses that will get you noticed then you can’t go wrong with round, either. Celebrities from Bono to Beyonce have all been photographed sporting circular specs. Choosing them puts you in good company! Designer round frames are bold, funky, and really can add an element of fun to your look.

I’ve seen round glasses in colors, duotone, and even white this season. But, my personal favorite look in a round fashion eyeglass frame is something like this one. Here are the tortoise and black versions of this frame made by 7 for All Mankind. One thing to note about both of these frames is how thin the earpieces are. This is a throw back to round frames from almost a century ago while still capturing the essence of modern.

Round glasses are a great way to look trendy without doing a wardrobe makeover. Not sure how round glasses will look on you? Then head over to your nearest Eyeglass World and try them on! I think you’ll be surprised by what a great look this is!

Not sure that you want round glasses for everyday of the week? Then I have great news for you too. At Eyeglass World you always get two pairs of glasses for one great low price. So choose a stylish round frame and a more traditional shape designer frame (maybe in a different color even!) for an unbeatable price!
