Glasses For Diamond Face Shape

Compare three widths on a straight-on photo — forehead, cheekbones, and jaw.On a diamond face the cheekbones are clearly the widest, and the forehead is equal to or narrower than the jaw. If the forehead is the wider of those two,you're looking at a heart shape instead.

Browline, upswept cat-eye, oval, round, and rimless styles are the usual starting points. What they share is that none of them concentrate weight along the lower rim. On this page you can filter by that directly using the Frame Balance tags rather than working shape by shape.

Narrow rectangles and small, heavy squares with a thick flat lower edge tend to work against the proportions — they narrow the upper face and add weight at the cheekbone line. Those styles aren't included in this collection.

The proportions work the same way. What changes is sizing and styling: men's frames in this collection tend to run wider across the total frame width, and browline and metal top-bar styles are the most common Top-Weighted picks.Every frame here is listed with its measurements so you can compare directly.

Look at lens height rather than shape. Dropping to a frame with a lens height in the mid-to-high 30s usually clears the cheekbone, and rimless or semi-rimless styles remove the lower rim entirely.
