In 2017, round sunglasses are going to be a hot trend. They’re retro, extremely cute, and perfectly finish off your favorite fashion looks without the extra need for accessorizing. They’re laid back frames, too, so too much makeup might take things over the top, so you won’t have to worry about beautifying too much when you toss these on! To prepare you for the new year, here is a list of some great women’s round sunglasses for 2017 (the shades in the featured image are Ray Ban round sunglasses).
Who Should Wear Round Sunglasses?
Round sunglasses best flatter women with square faces, as they break the sharp angles of the face, while women with round face shapes are advised to avoid wearing round sunglasses. Those with oblong and heart-shaped faces will also look good wearing round-framed sunglasses, and, of course, women with oval face shapes are the luckiest ones, as they can wear practically any type of frame, rounded sunglasses included.
