Best Glasses Frames for Heart Face Shape
A heart face needs frames that balance the wider top with visual weight at the bottom — bottom-heavy frames, round frames, and light or rimless tops all work. The goal is to add width lower on the face and keep the top visually lighter. Avoid decorative top-heavy frames (browline, heavy cat-eye) — they add weight where the face is already wider.

Heart face shape — frequently asked about glasses frames
- What glasses flatter a heart face? +
- Round frames, aviators, and bottom-heavy frames all work. The goal is to add width and weight at the bottom of the frame to balance the wider forehead.
- Should heart faces avoid browline frames? +
- Yes — browline frames add decorative weight at the top, which exaggerates the wider forehead. Choose frames with a light or rimless top and a bolder bottom instead.
