BEST GLASSES FOR HEART-SHAPED FACES

The heart-shaped face is the most common face shape there is. If you have a wider, broader forehead and a narrower jawline and chin, you’re part of the heart-shaped face club. This face shape may look like an upside-down triangle or pyramid shape . The chin is the narrowest part of a heart-shaped face, and the features become wider all the way to the forehead where it rounds out.

Choosing the best glasses for your heart-shaped face means you’ll want to focus on drawing attention away from the width at the top of your face and visually broaden the appearance of your chin .
Look for frames that are wider than your forehead or have bold endpoints, like Clubmaster or cat-eye shapes. Keep it classic, simple and understated by opting for glasses frame with rounded end points.

Dos:

  • <::marker> Choose frames with low-set temples or those that have a heavier look at the bottom of the frames because they will minimize the width at the top of your face and widen the look of your chin.
  • <::marker> Try smaller oval lenses with low height, as round glasses or frames with slightly curved edges will draw the eyes away from a high forehead.
  • <::marker> Go with lighter colors in classic styles like the Clubmaster to flatter your heart-shaped face.

Don’ts:

  • <::marker> Avoid any glasses with embellished browlines, very dark frames or decorative temples because they will draw attention to your forehead.
  • <::marker> Avoid heavy browline frames that will put emphasis on the upper part of your face. Go for a lighter color in the clubmaster vintage-inspired style instead.

BEST STYLE FIT FOR HEART SHAPES: CLASSIC CAT EYE & CLUBMASTER

The slick lines in these classic styles will concentrate all attention on your eyes instead of your chin while oval lenses will work beautifully with your heart-shaped facial features. Though many men can rock a cat-eye look, these cuties often work best on women with heart-shaped faces.
