Round sunglasses: from retro to modern
Round sunglasses have been around for as long as sunglasses themselves, and they keep coming back because they're so easy to wear. A round lens softens the face and gives an instantly relaxed, slightly intellectual look. This collection is our biggest shape collection, so it's worth knowing the differences between the frames.
Recycled plastic frames
Quist Havana updates the timeless round shape with subtle, sharper facets. Zanon Blue is the circle in its purest form: soft, symmetrical and easy to wear every day. Perini, in colours like Perini Champagne, has more defined lines and a balanced, confident presence. If you have smaller features, look at the compact Bono Clear and Adamo Grey, which are slim and light without losing character. And if you prefer thin metal, Vang Gold Green is a fine, round wire frame in recycled metal, inspired by 20th-century artists and writers.
Plant-based acetate frames
Our acetate line is made from plant-based acetate that is 100% biodegradable and industrially compostable. These frames have a deeper, glossier look and come with category 3 lenses. Try Costa Olive Green, Lupo Transparent Green in a see-through frame, the oversized Grande Transparent Brown or the curvy Messina Havana Blue.
Who suits round sunglasses?
Round sunglasses work because they contrast with straight lines in the face. As a rule of thumb:
- Square faces are the classic match, because round lenses soften a strong jaw and forehead.
- Heart-shaped and diamond faces are balanced by the soft curves, especially in light or medium-weight frames.
- Oval and long faces can wear most round frames; a larger frame visually shortens a long face.
- Round faces can absolutely wear round sunglasses. Pick a slightly larger frame with a defined brow line, so it doesn't just repeat the roundness.
The rules are the same for men and women. Read our full guide which sunglasses suit my face? if you want to find your face shape first.
How to style round sunglasses
Small round frames like Bono and Adamo have a vintage, bookish feel that works with knitwear, shirts and tailored trousers. Mid-size frames like Quist and Zanon are all-rounders for everyday wear. Oversized acetate frames such as Grande bring a glamorous, '70s-inspired look that suits summer dresses, linen and wide trousers. Transparent and tortoiseshell colours are softer than black and are right on trend.
Are round sunglasses in style?
Yes. Thin round metal frames and softer round shapes are part of the quieter lane of the sunglasses trends for 2027, alongside the big oversized frames. Round sunglasses have been a classic for decades, so they're a safe choice if you want a pair that lasts beyond one season.

FAQ about round sunglasses
Who suits round sunglasses?
Round sunglasses suit square, heart-shaped, diamond, oval and long faces best, because the curves balance angular features. Round faces can wear them in a slightly larger size with a clear brow line.
Can I wear round sunglasses with a round face?
Yes. Choose a frame that's a bit larger and has a defined brow, like Quist, rather than a very small, perfect circle.
Are round sunglasses for men or women?
Both. Round sunglasses are unisex, and every frame in this collection can be worn by men and women.
Which round sunglasses suit a small face?
Go for compact, slim frames such as Bono or Adamo. They're scaled for smaller features and won't overwhelm your face.
Are your round sunglasses polarised?
No, our lenses are not polarised, but they all have certified UV400 protection. Read are polarised sunglasses worth it? to see when polarisation matters.
