Sunglasses are a "must have", which is not only a summer accessory, but also the protection of our eyes from ultraviolet rays. After all, they are useful only in small quantities, so properly selected sun glasses are the key to eye health. Also, round glasses can be the highlight of your image.

Features and Benefits

In the new year, the fashion for glasses with round lenses is gaining momentum. Round glasses have been around for a long time, much earlier than sunglasses of any other shape. Therefore, we can safely say that this is not just everyone's favorite retro, but a real classic. The frame of the first round sunglasses was wire, and the lenses themselves were very small.

In the 60-70s of the last century, they were especially popular, thanks to the well-known John Lennon.

It is worth noting that John Lennon himself was skeptical about the idea of ​​adding glasses of this particular form to his image, because at that time they were not particularly popular among the masses. But this style was so liked by the fans that in the future the singer did not part with this attribute of his image. Everyone began to wear them, both celebrities and ordinary people.

At all times, celebrities preferred to wear huge dark glasses that cover half of their faces, and the name of such glasses is “grand glasses”. With them, the "inhabitants of the Middle Kingdom" tried to emphasize their inaccessibility and attractiveness. And this season, the good old round glasses are back in fashion.

The most famous brands that come to grips with the production of glasses with round lenses are, of course, Armani, Gucci and MIU MIU. An honorable fourth place belongs to the equally well-known brand Tommy Hilfiger.

This kind of glasses boasts a variety of shapes and sizes. They are elegant small without unnecessary details, also large with different frames, for example, the insanely fashionable cat-eye frames of our time go well with round lenses. The color of the glass can also be chosen by everyone to your taste, because you can find exactly what your heart desires: green, red, yellow and, of course, mirror lenses are especially popular, which will betray your image of boldness and unusualness.

Style icon Victoria Beckham, celebrities such as Rihanna, Lady Gaga, Russian supermodel Natalia Vodianova prefer to see large round glasses in their wardrobe. Singer Miley Cyrus, known for her shocking behavior, does not neglect small round glasses.

Choice by face shape

Let's try to figure out who these glasses are suitable for:

oval

The most common face type. Owners of this type of face can be proud of an excellent combination of features: a wide forehead, a narrow chin, high cheekbones. Round frames of small sizes are suitable for such girls, because this way facial features will look smaller than they really are.

Round

Visually, it seems the same in length and width.Unfortunately, round-shaped glasses are simply contraindicated for owners of this type of face, as they will make your face even more rounded.

square

This type of face is characterized by sharp angles: a square chin and the same jaw. In combination with high cheekbones and a wide forehead, a square face seems approximately equal in length and width. By the way, round glasses will suit the owners of this face shape, they focus the attention of others on the eyes, and jinx the angularity of the face as a whole.

triangular

This type of face is characterized by elongated cheekbones, a narrow chin and a small mouth. Due to the wide forehead, the face visually resembles a triangle. In this case, small round glasses without unnecessary details will be appropriate. Round rimless glasses also look great.

elongated

Here, on the contrary, large glasses that can focus attention on themselves will become the best summer accessory. Huge glasses in the style of Brigitte Bordeaux will expand your thin cheekbones.

Rectangular

Such faces are characterized by: elongation, square chin, square jaw, small eyes and mouth. Round frame glasses for ladies with a similar face shape will be great accessories, as not only large, but also small round glasses will do.

Rhomboid

This type of face is quite rare. A striking example of the owner of a diamond-shaped face is the well-known actress of the TV series Friends, popular in the 2000s, Jennifer Aniston. Girls with this type of face have a narrow forehead and narrow chin, wide cheekbones. The fair sex should pay attention to massive round glasses, which will visually make the distance between the eyes larger.

pyramidal

A narrow forehead and a wide jaw are the hallmark of girls with this type of face. The situation is the same as in people with a diamond shape. Pay attention to the big round glasses. For example, in the frame "cats".

Of course, choosing round glasses for a girl is quite difficult and you need to pay attention not only to the shape of the face, but also to other important factors. One of them is hair color. Silver, gold and black are perfect for blondes. On brunettes and brown-haired women, in turn: red, brown or wine colors will look quite harmonious. And for red-haired women, lighter frames, such as beige or coral, are suitable. Of course, such glasses should fit into the image as a whole.

From the foregoing, the conclusion suggests itself that glasses with round glasses are suitable for almost everyone, the main thing is to take into account all the nuances associated with choosing this popular accessory.

Now that we have figured out who round glasses are for, I would like to say a few words separately about male fashion on a similar form of glasses, because this is not only a female prerogative. A distinctive feature of male Tishades is that they give out a charismatic, creative, freedom-loving personality in a man.

For example, a kind chip Grigory Leps are small black round glasses.

A similar shape of glasses is an eternal attribute of the image Elton John.

Ivan Okhlobystin also often appears in glasses of this particular form.

And, of course, we will not disregard Ozzy Osbourne and the soloist of the Oasis group - Liam Gallagher.

What can I say, even a favorite of women Johnny Depp likes to go out in glasses of this particular shape.

And these are all outstanding, creative, world-famous men.

The most important thing when choosing glasses is to take into account all the nuances associated with such an acquisition.

  • For starters, as it was written at the very beginning of the article, glasses are not just an accessory, but also an assistant in maintaining the health of your eyes. Therefore, when choosing glasses, you should pay attention to the degree of transmission of UV radiation. To do this, you need to look at the label, which must have the abbreviation UV.
  • Also, always take into account the degree of light transmission of the lenses, which is affected by the degree of lens tint. High quality glasses will take care of the comfort of your eyes on the sunniest summer day. The more expensive the glasses, the higher the quality, as a rule.
  • Unfortunately, the colored lenses of your sunglasses can be detrimental to eye health, which is why ophthalmologists advise against wearing them often. Harmless colors include grey, brown, green and yellow.
  • Lenses are made from a variety of materials, and we advise you to choose lenses made of mineral glass, as it protects well and does not distort reality. If you prefer outdoor activities, then it is better to abandon glass lenses and stop at plastic ones. Glasses that break can damage your eyes and face.

Another type of round sunglasses that is now rapidly gaining momentum is"goggles". At first it was only an element of the image, that is, such glasses were worn on the head, on hats (for example, on a top hat), but not on the eyes. Goggles themselves appeared in the 19-20 centuries, and served as an element of equipment for pilots, travelers (protected from sand in the desert), mechanics, in general, used them to protect their eyes from dust and dirt.Further, this style came to the taste of people who gravitate towards the “steampunk” style. This was considered a kind of "reference" to the Victorian era. Now the situation has changed radically.

In our time, glasses no longer look so pretentious and are not considered an attribute of a crazy professor or mechanic, they are chosen for themselves by people who want to draw the attention of others to their individuality.
