The Best Glasses for Heart Shaped Faces

Going mad trying to find a pair of frames that will suit your heart shaped face? It might seem difficult to find a frame that complements those high cheekbones and triangular chin. The best approach for people with heart-shaped faces when picking a new pair of vintage glasses or vintage sunglasses is to choose a frame that follows the natural proportions of your face. Pick out a frame that is wider at the top and tapers at the base such as a clubmaster or wayfarer shape.

Heart face shapes are longer than they are wide and usually the width of the jaw and the width of the forehead will align. The other important feature of a heart shaped face is the chin will be noticeably pointed which makes the base of the heart shape. Does this description sound like you? Then we have good news, we have a whole range of specs and shades that will make you look cooler than a Mr Whippy in a snowstorm!

So what frames should you choose for your heart face shape?

Vintage Wayfarer Frames are just right for your face as they marry perfectly with your cheeks plus tapered lenses will add balance to your face and deliver an extra dose of retro Hollywood style. Choose a darker coloured frame for more formal looks or go for something bright if you need these for your next Summer holiday.

Vintage Clubmaster Frames have a similar shape to the wayfarer but their half rim form adds a slightly more classic 50s style. These more minimal frames will create a lighter look and draw attention to your best features. You can comfortably experiment with colour on a semi-rimless frame without it dominating your whole look.

Vintage Rectangular Frames are a great choice for a naturally curvy heart shaped face. The strong horizontal lines of a rectangular frame will provide a chic contrast to your heart shaped face. Both thin metal frames and thicker acetate will work equally well for you so why not just get both!

Vintage Aviator Frames are an absolute design classic. Loved by all for their versatile style the teardrop lens on a retro aviator frame will complement a heart shaped face to the max. Why not pick a shooter style aviator to channel your inner Gloria Steiner.
