Hello! What are flute exercises that work the side of the glutes making square glutes become more circular?
I do squats and lunges and glutes have depth but no width.

Re: Glute exercises for roundness not depth
There aren't an awful lot for glutes.
Free bar squats, dumbbell squats, two handed or one handed and smith squats, bulgarian split squats, side lunges, front lunges, regular lunges and something like good mornings might work, but they will also target the lower back, whilst the others will work the legs mainly with hip flexor stimulation and potential abs stimulation, depending on the type of squats or lunges done..
There is one I think called glute raises, but it requires attaching a cable to one leg at a time to do it, so you need specific attaching equipment for it.
Some olympic lifts would probably do it, like clean and jerk and snatch, but they will have an effect on the back, abs and legs, with some residual effect on the arms and shoulders.
The one way you could possibly do what you're referring to is to try squatting sumo style and if you use a 12 o'clock foot position, try using a 10-2 foot position.

and as usual I would like to add the stair mill! 
Re: Glute exercises for roundness not depth
I believe hip abduction exercises (the machine or with cables) will work the outer part of the glutes. But read the warnings before doing those exercises - too much of abduction or adduction can cause problems with your gait. Moderation is the key.

Stay away from the adductor machine, that thing is just a pile of cack. Plenty of things like the leg press and lunge and squat, type exercises will give you stimulus in areas the abductors, adductors and pectineus in the groin area, as well as the hip flexors, so no need for that crummy machine to be part of the equation.
