The next sunglasses you should consider trying this summer are a pair of circular frames. Whether you choose to sport the ultra round wire framed pairs for a serious ’70s vibe or a pair with an acetate frame for a more contemporary look, these versatile sunnies are ideal for people with more angular faces or features and give off a very cool, youthful feel.
Available in various shapes and styles, try them with a clear frame, some colourful tinted lenses or even oversized as a nod to the ever popular macro trend.
