Best Glasses Frames for Triangle Face Shape
A triangle face needs top-heavy frames that add visual weight at the forehead to balance the wider jaw. Cat-eye frames, bold browline frames, and aviators with strong top edges all work beautifully. Avoid heavy-bottom frames that add more weight to the already-wider jaw.
