People often say to me, "I can't wear a round tortoise shell glasses." "They're not my style." It's a familiar refrain I hear from clients, and it's understandable. Predictably, the most common associations of round frames are collegiate or clasp. These characteristics do exist, but they are hardly the norm. There is more than one type of circular frame and more than one type to suit your features and personal style. Allow us to introduce you to four of our favorite frames that will help you see your surroundings in a whole new way.

But first, the lesson of history: It's the most organic of all lens shapes and has been part of the spectacles landscape since the beginning, yet round glasses don't usually get the attention they deserve. When it comes to glasses, "round" is the most natural silhouette. That's the way lenses come out of the factory - almost like little hockey pucks - and the original shape of most glasses. In the past, people wore monocles because they were custom made for your eye socket - they were round, so they easily fit the shape of your eye.

Although they were originally a standard style, round frames have been growing in popularity over the past few decades, from the glamorous shades worn by Marlene Dietrich to the thick-rimmed glasses of costume designer Edith Hyde. As Edith worked with fashion ICONS such as Ingrid Bergman, Grace Kelly and Sophia Rolen, they too came to love the round frame, albeit decorated with different colors and avatars.

Gogotha - Round Box 2- John Lennon.

Perhaps the most famous person with a rounded body was John Lennon. For highly short-sighted eyes, Lennon needed lenses as thin as possible, which meant lenses with no angles, and lenses that reflected the natural shape of the eye. The result: his now-iconic super round frame, which has even been granted permission by his estate.

Today, although there are many other types of circular frames, the "Lennon" still exists. When you change the proportion of rounded corners, you change the character.

One last thing to remember: Round frames are best for angled faces. You always want to think about juxtaposition and balance. If you have more angular features or deep-set eyes, they will help balance out the softness of the round frame.

Select the right round frames for you.

Round frames have been around for a while - and they're only going to get better. There are now a wide variety of styles, materials, and colors available that help soften and balance out more angular faces.
