Glasses always look terrible on me. Can anyone recommend what you wear if you have a large head and very round face with big cheeks?
|
Have you tried large square shaped glasses? |
That look seems to work ok for George Santos who also has a big fat head. |
Op here. I haven’t but I will! Any recommendations? |
A monocle. |
probably something a little oversized, maybe with a slight cats eye |
Try zennis and search rectangular shaped frames and try them on virtually. Or google. |
+1 and especially look through the reviews because if you can find someone that looks sort of like you, it gives you a better idea than the Try on |
If you have big cheeks, try glasses with nose pads that are adjustable. You don’t want the glasses sitting on your cheeks. I personally would look for a thinner frame. George santos looks like a cartoon character. |
I think you would look great in the large frame/maybe square. Like these:

Heart shaped |
I have a similar shape and size. I wear La Font glasses -- slightly oversized with a subtle cat eye. They actually sit up high enough on my nose so they're not resting on my cheeks when I smile...hard to find a pair like that!
I've also had luck w/rectangular frames. Square frames look horrid on me, but the rectangle seems to soften my roundness. |
Also similar and prefer rectangular lenses with a defined, but not overly heavy/bulky frame.
Also don't be afraid to try styles marketed to men, that's how I found my current pair that look great on me! |
OP what’s your price point? Warby Parker/ zenni are super inexpensive or you could do Lindberg for 500.00+ a pair
https://lindberg.com/en They have really nice rimless glasses that disappear on your face |
The most important thing is fit--I recommend going in person to an optical (there are many at different price points) store.
Frames come in different: widths (to fit faces wide and narrow); temple sizes (the part that goes over your ears); and bridge (over the nose.) Trying on some in person will help you find the right size as well as shape. YOu'll quickly figure out what you *don't* like and can get some outside opinions (however stick to your gut). |
