Best Glasses Frames for Diamond Face Shape
A diamond face needs frames that add width at the forehead and balance the pronounced cheekbones. Cat-eye frames (lift and widen the top), oval frames (soften the angularity), and rimless or top-heavy frames all flatter. Avoid narrow rectangular frames that echo the diamond outline's narrow top and bottom.
