The Best Glasses for a Diamond Face Shape

Round Frames: Opposites attract, as they say, and this holds true for diamond faces and round frames. The curves on these frames provide a foil to the sharp angles of your face, creating an illusion of softness. Slide them on, and voila: a perfectly harmonized visage.

Oval Frames: Your face makes a great point, but we get it: sometimes you’d prefer to soften those edges. In this, oval frames can help. These silent operators will subtly refine and elongate your features, smoothing sharp lines and helping you radiate undeniable level-headedness.

Cat Eye Frames: These cats are a diamond’s best friend. Their upswept corners trace the lines of diamond-shaped faces, emphasizing the contours of your enviable bone structure. Yes, your cheekbones will now appear sharp enough to poke someone’s eye out. Feel free to let it go to your head.

Horn-Rimmed Glasses: Diamond faces, meet your statement makers. Horn-rimmed glasses provide a striking look, making your already-captivating eyes and cheekbones impossible to ignore. These frames are an entrance-making move for diamond faces that know how to command attention. ​​

When it comes to framing a diamond, steer clear of too many sharp edges. Too many geometric detours can detract attention from your own angles, which should always be allowed to shine. Certain square and rectangle frames, with their overly angular demeanor, may disrupt the seamless balance we’re aiming for.

Colored Frames: Elevate your eyewear game by adding a wash of color. Colored frames mean vision correction with a hefty side helping of self-expression, and it doesn’t get any better than that. Whether you opt for bold hues or more subtle tones, these will help you stand out in a crowd.

Unique Frame Shapes: From unconventional angles to standout details like cutouts and keyhole bridges, your frames should be every bit as distinct as you are. Those with diamond-shaped faces should look for shapes that either follow the lines of their facial contours or provide a contrast to them. Let your eyewear be a conversation starter, not just a vision enhancer.

Considerations for Any Gender: While we have both men's glasses and women's glasses in our collection, face shape knows no gender, and neither do flattering frames. Your focus should be bringing your facial features into perfect harmony: no matter the label on the collection you’re perusing, the principles of face shape remain the same.  

-- Contrasting vs. Softening: The key to eyewear ecstasy is to choose frames that either create a striking contrast or softly blend with the angular features of your diamond face. Boldly stand out or elegantly blend in – your frame, your rules.

-- Variation of Heart-Shaped Faces: Fun fact: Diamond faces are often seen as a variation of heart-shaped faces. Consider this when exploring glasses options, as frames for hearts may suit diamond faces as well.​​ Look at that – your pool of prospects just doubled.

You’re every bit as spectacular as your face shape’s namesake, and far more precious to us. And, lucky you: diamond-shaped faces will look stunning in a wide range of frames. From round and oval frames to cat eye and horn-rimmed designs, the options are abundant. But real talk: the best glasses for a diamond face are the ones that make you feel unstoppable. Because in the grand spectacle of life, all that really matters is that your frames let your showstopping confidence shine through.
