Round Frame Sunglasses

Round shades are characterized by circular lenses and round frames that curve around the lenses. They were popularized in the 1960s and have become a classic style that is still popular today. Round sunglasses are often associated with a retro or vintage look, but they can also look quite modern.

There’s More to Round Sunglasses than You Might Think

Our round sunglasses selection could better be called the rounded sunglasses collection, because there’s more than one take on the round trend. We especially love vintage-inspired circle framed sunglasses. You may have heard this style referred to as teashades or “John Lennon” sunglasses” for the timeless vintage look of the metal frames that Lennon helped popularize. We also offer softer takes on round shaped sunglasses to flatter a broader variety of faces, like the Times, which blends the best of styling of circular shades and square eyewear. Choose from metal, acetate (plastic), and combination glasses for the perfect circle shades look for you.
