Best Glasses for a Diamond Face Shape

Oval and cat-eye frames soften strong cheekbones and add width at the brow.

This guide is for the diamond face shape: cheekbones clearly the widest point, with both forehead and jaw at 85% or less of the cheekbone width.

Try

  • Oval, round and cat-eye frames
  • Frames with a strong or wide top line that adds width at the brow
  • Rimless glasses that keep the cheekbones in focus
  • Frames with a wide, curved bottom edge

Skip or adjust

  • Narrow, angular frames that repeat the diamond
  • Frames that are narrower than the cheekbones and look pinched
  • Very tall, boxy frames
