Sunglasses for the round faced

[Krona Kruiser]

I got myself some contact lenses again. It's been a few years since I wore them but now that I'm a little more active and weather's getting a bit too sunny I figured I'd get some shades. I chose a Ray-Ban model that worked for me for a while but were accidentally broken so I reordered them. You see, I have a very round face with high-cheek bones. As much as I love aviator style glasses, I look like PSY ready to break-out and sing "Gangnam-Style." I like the model I'm getting but want something else. I'm open to suggestions and do like Persols and Oakleys.

Here's what I'm waiting for RAY BAN Sunglasses Brown Frame RB 3357 014/57 :

I have been wearing contact lenses for many years....I find medium size frames for my round face make the best fit

What do you wear? Are they rectangular?

Funny, you posted that because I tried some Wayfarers and were promptly sent back. They just don't work for me as evident in my pic I sent my wife for confirmation. They were not confirmed by her :

very similar to these...bought em at The Grove here in Los Angeles..$22 ;-)
polarized as well...not mirrored as much

I like those, I may be going to that part of LA soon so I'll see if I can locate some. Can't beat the price of polarized glasses.

This guide seems about right.

That's a good link but I also remember seeing a visual guide at one point.

I'm fairly roundfaced and l like the look and feel of the Oakley Jawbone, but searching their site it looks like that line morphed into the Racing Jacket line and now the lenses are vented... That and i liked the ability to swap lenses out depending on conditions.

COHunter, I've seen those. I've also got my eyes on the Antix series by Oakley too, I like the idea of interchangeable lenses.

I have a round face as well, I was told by the person who sold me my last few pair of glasses that a smaller frame looks best with a round face.

I feel round face has more options than any other for glasses. Even the short versions look good.
