Round Sunglasses
Being the one of the most enduring eyewear designs in fashion history, the round shape dates back to the 19th century, when round frames were a common choice due to their simplicity and functionality. However, it wasn’t until the early 20th century that round glasses truly gained popularity, becoming synonymous with intellectualism and artistry. Iconic figures such as John Lennon and Mahatma Gandhi further cemented the round silhouette as a symbol of individuality and countercultural cool during the 1960s and 70s. Round glasses have evolved over time, transcending trends while remaining timeless.
Today, they are celebrated for their vintage charm and versatility, appealing to every market. Luxury brands like Oliver Peoples, Tom Ford, and Ray-Ban continue to offer sophisticated renditions of the round shape and still draw inspiration from iconic and recent influences. Often incorporating sleek metals, bold acetates, and innovative design elements to elevate the style for contemporary audiences. Whether embracing a minimalist aesthetic or adding a touch of retro flair, round glasses remain a favourite among eyewear connoisseurs.
