What are Korean Glasses?

How to style your best look?

Did you have a marathon watching of Korean serials or K-drama as they are called? You had a fun time watching the amazing storylines. While you were glued to reading the subtitles, you also admired their fashionable outfits. Their power suits, chic blouse and swoon-worthy heels, just wow, you cannot take your eyes off them and keep thinking about the stylish attire. And if you are a geeky chic having mundane office work, then your eyes won’t go away from the thin circle glasses.

Circle glasses or Korean glasses are trendy nowadays. Korean waves have reached the west too. It is piquing interest in their music, dramas and even reality shows. In between all these, fashion aficionados are keening on their fashionable outfits. And Korean glasses are also getting on that momentum. You can find the usual circle glasses getting back in trend and getting ‘widely’ known as Korean glasses.

Korean Glasses Predecessors

Korean glasses are piquing in the trend chart now in 2021. But they were sported by many big names throughout the 20th century. Winston Churchill, Steve Jobs, Mahatma Gandhi and many other leaders donned these glasses to aid their vision. These glasses also made them look trustworthy.

Not just leaders and entrepreneurs but also style icons like Iris Apfel, film director Andy Warhol and singers like Janis Joplin, Elton John and John Lennon.

These glasses are quite trendy in South Korea as you can see many celebs wearing them both on and off the screen. Take Blackpink, for instance. And if you need more inspiration, check out Gigi Hadid, Kendall Jenner, Kylie Jenner and even Johnny Depp. Round glasses or circle glasses are not a thing of the past or not favoured by a niche group. They are very much mainstream.

Does it look good on my face?

You may love and adore these trendy glasses frames, but do they look good on your face? A valid question. Not every popular and swoon-worthy outfit can fit your size. And also, they don’t make you look like any Kardashians, even if you wear them. You will look like you, a bit chic maybe. Or worse, they don’t mesh well with your personality.

Glasses are the same. And much worse, they can even hamper your look if not chosen correctly. Only the right pair of glasses can accentuate your look to top-notch. And Korean glasses do not look well on everyone.

Round Face Shape

If you have a small round face, you should stay away from these stylish pairs. Round glasses will make you appear gullible. People with round faces are perceived as kind and gentle. Add spectacles to the ratio, you will appear innocent.

Don’t fret. You can try on Korean glasses, just not the trendy circle glasses. Thin rimmed glasses in geometric shape are equally loved as the circle ones. Try one of these. You will love it.

Square Face Shape

A square face looks stern and hardworking. People might perceive you as not the fun kind. With glasses, you can balance your appearance and look more approachable. You will appear friendly, charming and also fun-loving. Check out the look of Olivia Wilde in her round glasses. She looks attractive without them and fabulous with them.

Circle glasses complements square face shapes. Thin rims and the sleek metallic style gives a refined and sophisticated vibe. Try them on your face to know the magic.

Heart Face Shape

Heart face shapes have widow peaks and well-defined chins. Such pretty features are more nuanced with the addition of these thin-rimmed glasses. You can try your hands on hectagon shaped glasses or eccentric glasses frames with a round and square shape. These glasses will show off your fun and extroverts.

Oblong Face Shape

Glasses for long face shapes are tricky. Wearing small and fine detailed glasses will make your face appear bigger than usual. Korean glasses in thin rims and sleek style might make your face appear longer. Try out aviator-style glasses frames. These bold style frames will not make you appear long. You can show your charming style with your striking appearance.

Diamond Face Shape

For a chiselled face like a diamond, glasses should also be of top-notch appearance. Circle glasses or any thin-rimmed frames make your face appear more refined. Your sophisticated vibe paired with your equally chic outfit will make you look classy and quite mesmerising. Get this look when going for a date.

Judgement Call

What if you cannot judge what your face shape is? Sometimes it appears heart-shaped, then appears oval when you tie your hair differently. Then you can only leave the decision to your intuition. If they feel good on your face, then they probably look good.
