In recent seasons, round eyewear has quietly circled back in men’s fashion and has been given the seal of approval by brands and designers such as Public School, Rochambeau and David Hart (who included a mismatched pair with one red lens and one yellow one in his New York men’s fashion week presentation last year).
Aesthetics and personal taste aside, spherical lenses are obviously not for everyone. If you have a round face, for example, wearing them will only result in awkward looking geometric overkill – so leave them to your buds with mugs that are longer or heart-shaped.
Here are 14 of my favorite round sunglasses currently available for purchase with price tags that range from super affordable to rather wallet-busting. As John Lennon never badly punned, perhaps it’s time for you to give these pieces a chance…
