Glasses That Are a Perfect Fit for Diamond-Shaped Faces

First, a few basics about diamond-shaped faces. A special and rather rare face shape, a diamond face is characterized by a narrow forehead and hairline balanced on the opposite end by a narrow and sometimes pointy chin. The cheekbones are the widest point of the diamond-shaped face, and they tend to be very prominent. The diamond-shaped face features straight lines at the temples and jawline.

Choosing glasses for diamond shaped faces is a bit easier than other face shapes because there are a lot of options for this face shape that has both angular and curvy features.

Do’s:

• <::marker> Choose frames that balance your forehead: curvy brow lines are best.
• <::marker> Opt for wider glasses and sunglasses to cover your cheekbones and create a balanced aesthetic on your diamond-shaped face.
• <::marker> Experiment with top-heavy frames such as semi-rimless styles to make a great contrast with your pointy chin.
• <::marker> Emphasize your gorgeous cheekbones with upswept styles like vintage-inspired cat eyes.

Don’ts:

• <::marker> Avoid narrow frames, as they can’t match your broad cheekbones and narrow eye line.
• <::marker> Stay away from thin-rimmed frames that are too rounded or too small in height, as they will emphasize a longer face and drown in your strong features.

Best style fit: Narrow Cat Eye, Aviator & Clubmaster

One rule you need to remember if you have a diamond-shaped face is that heavy top frames are a great fit. Another general rule is to contrast any shape with its opposite for balance. For example for wide, angular glasses frames work well with wide, curved cheekbones.

Women with diamond-shaped faces can generally wear cat eye glasses . better than other face shapes, especially if the frames are wide and reach all the way to the sides of your face. It’s one of the few occasions when you want the frame ends to reach outside of your face to balance the long vertical lines of a diamond-shaped face.

Look for cat eye glasses that are short in height but wide. Oval lenses usually fit the bill for balancing and flattering a diamond shape.

Aviator glasses are also good for diamond shaped faces as long as the frame is wide enough. Take Fly Boy for instance; it preserves the Aviator silhouette but adds a curvy browline and prolonged temples to make it wider.

This type of frame suits diamond shaped faces with prominent angular features .

You can choose frames with round lenses for your diamond shape so long as they have a heavy top and are wide enough to extend past your cheekbones. The wide aspect is very important because a narrow frame on a diamond-shaped face will make you eyes look weirdly close toghether. The heavy top supports a narrow forehead and hairline.
