What glasses suit a heart-shaped face?
Oval frames, rimless styles, and round frames work best — they balance a wider forehead rather than emphasizing it. Semi-rimless frames with a bottom rim add width where the face narrows.
Heart Face Shape Guide
Best Glasses for Heart-Shaped Faces
A heart-shaped face is widest at the forehead and tapers to a narrow chin — so the styling goal is redistribution: keep visual weight off the top of the face and add a little width lower down.

Oval frames are the most reliable pick, gently balancing the forehead without drawing attention to it. Rimless styles take that logic to its extreme — near-zero visual weight where you already have the most width — while round frames flatter the high cheekbones that usually come with this shape. Aviators, wider at the bottom than the top, are the ideal sunglasses. The styles to skip are anything browline-heavy: clubmasters and bold-browed cat-eyes put their strongest line exactly where a heart face is already widest.

What should heart-shaped faces avoid in glasses?
Heavy browline styles — clubmasters, bold-browed cat-eyes, decorated top rims. They add visual weight to the forehead, which is already the widest part of a heart-shaped face.
Are aviators good for heart-shaped faces?
Yes — aviators are the top-rated sunglasses for this shape. Their teardrop lens is wider at the bottom, which visually balances a narrow chin against a broader forehead.
What frame size fits a heart-shaped face?
Slightly narrower frames — around 130–138 mm wide with 48–53 mm lenses — usually fit best, ideally in styles that carry their width at the bottom rather than the brow.
