Best Glasses for a Diamond Face (Men): What Suits and Why
Men with diamond face shapes have bold cheekbones, a narrow forehead and jaw, and a pointed chin. The right glasses can balance and flatter these features.
1. Understand Your Diamond Face Shape
A diamond face is defined by wide cheekbones, a narrow forehead and jawline, and a pointed chin. The goal with glasses is to soften the cheekbones and visually widen the forehead and jaw for greater balance.
Unsure about your face shape? Maxx Report can scan your selfie to measure your exact facial ratios and features, so you don’t have to guess.
2. Choose Frames That Add Balance
- Frame Shape: Look for oval or rimless frames, which soften angular cheekbones and avoid adding width.
- Top Detailing: Select frames with detailing or weight along the top edge. This draws attention upward, visually widening your forehead.
- Frame Width: Make sure your glasses are no wider than the widest part of your cheekbones to avoid exaggerating your face’s width.
3. What to Avoid
- Boxy or wide rectangular frames can make your cheekbones appear even broader.
- Very narrow or small frames may emphasize the length and pointed chin.
- Heavy frames on the lower rim can draw attention downward and make the chin look sharper.
4. Try Before You Buy
Fit matters: the bridge should sit comfortably, and the frames should balance your features without overwhelming your face. Use Maxx Report to scan and analyze your face, ensuring your chosen frames truly suit your unique proportions.
5. Complement with Grooming and Hairstyling
Consider a hairstyle with volume or a fringe to add width at the forehead, and a fuller beard to balance a narrow jaw. For personalized advice, Maxx Report provides a tailored improvement plan based on your facial scan.
