Rihanna - Pretty much anything
Your options are endless. Pick a shape you like and you're good to go. Why would you stick to one shape then. Add a variety of shapes to your collection. Try to pick a frame that isn't much wider than your face.

Contrary to the rule of opposite for square or round shape faces, you want the frame to copy the shape of your face. Cat-eye and aviators are wider at the top and slightly tapered at the bottom, which means they are similar to a heart shape.

In the same way a square frame balances out a round shaped face, a round frame will balance out a square face. Choose frames with round or curved corners.

If you have a round shaped face, it’s best to go for square framed sunglasses. Any round shaped glasses would be a big no-no. They will only make your face appear even rounder.
