Can I get away with these shades or do they look ill fitting

I’m on a budget so these were only £12

I’ve never worn sunglasses much because I feel I look bad in most shapes (I have a roundish face with bulbous nose)

Conscious they’re slightly too wide on edges? Is it very noticeable

Can I get away with these shades or do they look ill fitting

Cat eye and a change of hair style would suit you better

Really? A dig about her hair. Why don’t you show us YOUR hair and we’ll give feedback.

OP I think you should have more confidence. They look chic and wide sunglasses are in - think the oversized same shape DMY sunglasses. Or these…

Btw your skin is FLAWless. Key to loving fashion is if you love a piece. That’s all that matters.

Bless me?

Well, bless your heart for proofreading my post. No need to fret or judge. It's a typo and I also mistyped bought for both which you missed in your "feedback".

I could have edited but it's a post on a chat forum and not indicative of my knowledge of spelling or grammar.

It’s not a dig it’s just a suggestion

I dare you to sit on a bench next to a random stranger, wearing those glasses & utter the words: Did you bring the money?

I can't stop chuckling 😆

I’ve never considered cat eye, I don’t know why but a bit intimidated by that shape, don’t think I could pull it off 😂
What hair style were you thinking? I have straight and thinning hair (thanks to PCOS), it doesn’t hold volume or curls for more than a few hours (even after getting it done at expensive salon)

I’m on minoxidil and spironolactone with hopes of making it thicker but don’t think it can perform miracles

I do have layers for movement tho, I’m usually frugal but went to a really good stylist for my hair cut. Also this is my unstyled hair, was at home with no plans so looks bit frizzier/wispier

Margot looks amazing! Love those sunglasses on her

Also that’s so kind of you to say, thank you! 😊 I think it’s the lighting helping a lot as I have lots of texture and acne prone skin

too wide and your face isn’t round by the way

ah interesting, my face has lost lots of weight with age but always had very soft chin/jawline

OP posts:
EasternStandard · 06/03/2026 12:22

I think a little too wide for your face. Not terrible but maybe there are others that would be better.

Sunglassesq · 06/03/2026 12:36

These were even cheaper just picked up from Primark, are these too wide:

not sure about the style though think I prefer thicker frames to detract from my bulbous nose 🤣
