Women are characterized by experiments to change their appearance. Perhaps that is why all girls love to try on glasses at least occasionally. Models chosen especially for a round face will delight their owner with admiring glances from those around them.

General tips

It is no secret that today there are several types of glasses on the market. Solar, computer, massage, with and without diopters - they all must be chosen correctly.

The consequences of wearing uncomfortable glasses:

  • headache;
  • fatigue;
  • pain in the eyes;
  • the progression of myopia or hyperopia.

Often, doctors observe these symptoms in people who buy ready-made glasses with an attractive price. It is worth remembering that the ready accessory for the mass consumer does not take into account:

  • distance between pupils;
  • differences in diopters for each eye;
  • face parameters.

Such models put pressure on the bridge of the nose, temporal zones and fall down when the head is tilted down. On this basis, ophthalmologists unanimously and strongly recommend to buy glasses only in large optician salons to order, especially when it comes to vision-correcting glasses. Specialists are more loyal to models that protect from the rays of the scorching sun, but they also do not get tired of talking about convenience, which should be noticeable at the time of the first fitting.

Selection rules for each:

  • glasses that match the shape of the oval face, emphasize all the flaws in appearance;
  • points, whose lower part of the frame coincides with the shape of the lower line of the eye, look advantageous;
  • the color of the frame and the lenses should match the overall style in the clothes;
  • the top line of the rim of the glasses should only border on the lines of the eyebrows, but in no way close it;
  • accessory, sitting on the upper nose bridge, visually lengthens the nose.

As you can see, the general rules for the selection of points are quite simple.

However, to follow them accurately and without errors, you should visit an ophthalmologist before buying to determine the necessary diopters and the distance between the pupils, as well as carefully examine the shape of your face.

What to look for?

Owners of a round face can only be envied, because they can always look cute and a little childish, conquering with round cheeks and a smooth chin. Seriousness and restraint can be given to them by accessories that are properly chosen in terms of the rim, color of lenses and material.

Frame

It should be noted that the shape of the frame, suitable chubby beauties, varied. The only strict rule here is its sufficient width, slightly beyond the contour of the face.

This key characteristic corresponds to cat-eye glasses, which convey to us a fashionable greeting from the 50s of the last century. This form was so loved by the kidnappers of men's hearts Marilyn Monroe, Sophia Loren and Audrey Hepburn.

To distinguish the "cat's eye" can be on a slightly elongated shape and upturned corners, tending to the temples. Such a frame is good both in accessories from the sun, and in corrective models for every day.

Other glasses that are well suited for the type of person chubby woman, have a square or rectangular shape. At the edges, the corners should be slightly rounded, especially if we talk about the lower part of the frame. Such models should be large, but by no means massive.Otherwise, the soft round face will easily turn into a heavy and full, and add even a couple of years to young girls.

Asymmetrical shapes can also beautify the face with a round oval. For example, the butterfly-rimmed girlfriend with an oval face makes the face more elongated. Learn "butterflies" by expanding the rim of the temples and the narrowing of the nose. Perhaps for everyday wear accessories of this form may seem too extravagant and bold, however, sun protection options deserve close attention.

Woman with a round face will go well glasses-master master. Those who came to us from America, they are brightly distinguished by a dark arched line in the upper part, made of various shades of plastic, and a lightweight lower contour framing a convex lens. Such a model, like the previous ones, is somewhat in favor of the facial contour, pulling and modifying it.

It is worth noting that female glasses are also suitable for lush ladies. Sunscreen or for vision, they should be selected taking into account previous advice.

Massive large rims that go beyond the contours of the face and are on the face freely, without glaring at the cheeks, go for a full round face much more than thin lines of accessories.

Models that should be abandoned chubby girls:

  • classic Aviators with rounded edges;
  • glasses "Lennons" with a pronounced round shape;
  • narrow half-moon glasses;
  • model "dragonfly" with round lenses, narrowed at the temporal zone.

Types of glass

One of the first materials for the manufacture of lenses was glass. It has a much lower refractive index than plastic, and therefore the lenses made from it look thinner and neater. In addition, the glass is less prone to scratches, which means that its service life is high.

The only drawback of the material is fragility, which is very important at the high cost of accessories made from it.

Wanting to get rid of this drawback, the manufacturers proposed plastic. Its advantages:

  • democratic value;
  • presentable appearance;
  • the ability to take any form in the manufacturing process.

However, it should be noted here that inexpensive plastic accessories are quickly scratched, even with a careful attitude, and with serious visual impairments they look very massive.

The manufacturers took into account and soberly assessed the advantages and disadvantages of plastic, creating improved types of plastic, such as:

  • Polycarbonate models, the main advantage of which is surprisingly high impact resistance and UV protection.
  • High Indexcreated for people with minor vision problems. Their lenses are less curved and have noticeable subtlety. In addition, such models do not change the natural size of the eye.
  • Asphericcreated for people with serious degrees of myopia and hyperopia. Their main feature can be considered a plane, even with large diopters.
  • Chameleon lenses or models that can change color depending on the lighting can be made of glass or plastic with a special chemical coating and special internal compounds. Glasses with such types of glasses are useful from an expert point of view of ophthalmologists, because they create the necessary level of eye protection.
  • Polarizeddesigned to remove glare and reduce eye fatigue.

It is worth noting that when choosing a type of glass, it is important to pay attention to special coatings that can be used for convenience in various situations or a cosmetic effect.

Types of lens coating:

  • Anti-glare - a special coating that reduces the brightness and scale of halos from light sources. Wearing a relaxing and protective nature in relation to vision.
  • Scratch resistant coating, able to transfer plasticity the main advantage of classic glass lenses.
  • Protective from ultraviolet radiation.
  • Tinting - allows you to create the desired shade of the lens. In most cases, it has an aesthetic character.
  • Mirror coating - closes eyes from others; inspired by fashion trends.
  • Water resistant - allows you to feel comfortable in any bad weather, preventing adhesion of water droplets to the surface of the glass.

Materials

Materials for frames are not inferior in a variety of lenses. Today on sale you can see cheap plastic options and exotic wood. Yet the main competitors are plastic and metal.

It should be noted that the choice of any of the species will depend not only on the appearance of the accessory, but also on its weight, strength and the possibility of allergic reactions.

Most often, supporters of metal frames choose models from various alloys. They are sufficiently durable and accessible to a wide range of consumers. It is worth noting that in most alloys nickel is present - a metal that can cause the strongest allergies. During operation, the protective coating from it is quickly removed, leaving the sensitive skin of the face with him alone.

When deciding to purchase alloy products, you should remember the key rules for a successful purchase:

  • the alloy should not be in direct contact with the skin;
  • Nose pads and temples should be made of plastic, acetate, or hypoallergenic metals.

Metals that are not capable of causing allergies are titanium, gold, silver, and more affordable stainless steel. Frames made of steel differ impressive weight, which is also important to consider when choosing.

Democratic alternative to metals is a large range of plastics. Such material can often be seen not only on correction glasses, but also sun-protection accessories.

Types of plastics used:

  • Cellulose Acetate - one of the most popular materials capable of accurately transfer colors and shades, as well as their smooth transitions into each other. The plastic of this type is light and impact-resistant, however, in places of direct contact with the skin it quickly fades, reacting with sweat.
  • Grilamid - the material possessing resistance to an ultraviolet and high temperatures, and also differing in ease and durability.
  • Nylon (polyamide) - quite common material endowed with special flexibility and durability. Among the shortcomings has a short lifespan, becoming more fragile with a long stay in the sun.
  • Propionate - light and durable material, the main advantage of which is considered hypoallergenic.
  • Carbon - lightweight material, competing for the strength of many metals.

Colors

Stylists advise owners of round-shaped faces to be careful with bright shades of frames and lenses, avoiding shiny and deliberately extravagant details.

Calm non-acidic tones set the right accents. So, for girls of blondes and brown-haired brown color is perfect. At the same time, its monotony is completely unnecessary and can be successfully diluted with soft color transitions. The silver hue of the rim is another regular tone that can give precise touches.

It should be noted that too dark lenses cause disharmony with a round face, adversely affecting vision. Having bypassed deaf opaque models, it is possible with confidence in our own irresistibility to dwell on not too darkened versions of any tones.

Ophthalmologists also advise to abandon the tinted models for continuous wear, giving them preference only during the summer heat.

Choosing models for vision

To points for vision correction, consumers put forward more stringent requirements than to sun protection specimens. This approach is the only correct one, because incorrectly chosen glasses will not only not solve the problems with vision, but will also aggravate the existing pathologies.

In addition, accessories for correction are used constantly, and therefore their strength should be at a height.

Models for vision should:

  • be selected solely on the advice of an ophthalmologist;
  • have a rim frame design for greater strength and longer life;
  • have a multifunctional coating, for example, protects against water, glare and ultraviolet rays;
  • placed on the face calmly and firmly, without going beyond the line of the eyebrows.

The best version of glasses for vision correction is a model with a rim that runs around the entire perimeter of the lens with an impressive thickness and slightly beyond the contours of the face. Such a choice is able to make a chubby, pretty girl a fatal beauty, proudly wearing a useful accessory for a single season.

Fashion trends

Knowing all the appropriate shape of glasses for a round face, you can look beautiful and confident all the time. In addition, knowledge of the features of their appearance will make it easy to match modern fashion trends.

I must say that the last season was pleased with its diversity. So, one of the topical options presented in many collections of famous designers was glasses with double rim. Such a design consists of a conventional rim, which can be any, and a thin rim that runs along the top of the glasses.

In addition, the owners of the round oval will like rectangular or square-shaped sunglasses with bright details that match the clothes. For example, it can be strips on a massive frame, repeating the tone and look of the same print on a summer bag.

Bright sunglasses with colored lenses, amber and marble frames are another modern trend of this season. Green, turquoise, blue or pink - they can clearly complement the extravagant and youthful image.

Sun models with transparent lenses, decorated in any bright massive frame, allow this season to look not only trendy, but also reserved.

Cat's eye glasses are also in the season's top rankings this season. Designers advise to pay attention to the interesting bright frames with the presence of a golden tone.

As you can see, the fashion this year was very favorable to the girls who have a round oval. Stylish and bright images with the presence of fashion accessories are ready to become part of the warm season, saturated with colors of femininity and light playfulness.
