Struggling to find glasses that suit your face shape? Then you might have a heart-shaped face. People who have a heart-shaped face often find it more difficult to find glasses that suit their face shape due to having a wider forehead and a more angular chin. This doesn’t mean you can’t find frames that will look good, it just takes finding the right pair for your unique face shape.
In our guide below we will take you through all the best glasses options for heart-shaped faces, as well as what ones to avoid and where to shop for the highest quality frames.

The Best Frames For Heart-Shaped Faces
Most of the time, the best eyeglasses for people with this kind of face shape are oval, aviator, cat-eye, round, and browline glasses. These types of frames add a round shape to the face without being too overwhelming.
Oval
Oval eyeglasses add a subtle round face shape to help balance out the more angular chin of someone with a heart-shaped face. They help to draw attention to your eyes and also highlight your cheekbones.
From our oval eyeglass range, we love the Madison for a casual yet sophisticated look and the Douglas for men, a classic casual pair of eyeglasses, available with different tints for your needs.
Aviator
Make your eyes attractive with a pair of aviator glasses for your heart-shaped face. Thanks to the thin wire frame and large lenses of these glasses they help distract attention away from the heartier parts of your face and balance out your curves.
The classic Niagara looks perfect with its two-tone colors for daily wear from our Aviator range or, we recommend the John aviator for men, also a nice pared back frame, drawing attention to the eyes.
Cat-Eye
Thanks to the elegant angular upper corners of cat-eye frames, these edgy glasses add extra contours to your round face. Cat-eye frames are a timeless elegant pair of eyeglasses, perfect for a feminine touch.
Our favorites from our cat-eye glasses collection are the Gracie for a gorgeous celebrity look or the Hannah for a thinner frame, great for the office or daily wear without being too bold.
Round
Calling all bohemians or vintage lovers, surprisingly, round glasses can look great on people with heart-shaped faces. The frames can help to drag the eye downwards which makes them appear less top-heavy.
We love the Frederic with a tortoiseshell design for an elegant look and the City Round for both men and women.
Browline
The bolder upper part of browline frames can help balance out the bottom-heavy parts of a heart-shaped face and draw attention to the eyes. Not all browline glasses will suit a heart-shaped face, for some it may make the forehead look wider.
If you see a pair of browline glasses you like, we recommend you try them on anyway, you might be surprised depending on your unique features, glasses look different on everyone!
Our top picks from our browline collection are the Gemini for a sophisticated vibe and the Macon to add a pop of color.
Frame Styles To Avoid If You Have a Heart-Shaped Face
There are a few types of glasses that do not look better than others on a heart-shaped face.
That being said, don’t let this put you off trying them, you might be surprised at how they suit your unique face! Use our try before you buy to test them out.
● Square - These frames can add more angle to an already quite angular face.
● Rectangle - Same as square, they add a lot of harsh angles to the face, especially short rectangle glasses with a thin frame.
