Salt Optics eyewear brand designer, David Rose, recommends that people with heart-shaped faces look for "overly embellished glasses" with a cat-eye or round shape (via Oprah.com). These types of frames shift the eye downward and create the illusion of an elongated face (via Evo). To continue your balanced look, check out styles with shield, butterfly, rimless, or aviator frames.
Shield frames aren't just for sports! They cover the periphery of the eye, and their oversized quality provides extra protection from harmful UV rays. Style icon Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis was a huge fan of butterfly cat-eye sunglasses because they hide a large portion of the face — perfect for when you're a celeb in hiding (or just hungover at brunch). If you're used to rocking the vintage look, rimless or round frames won't disappoint. They originated in 1947 and were a signature look for celebrities like Jeff Goldblum and John Lennon.
Finally, aviator frames got their name after being popularized by pilots. These shades usually offer clean lines, simple colors, metal frames, and teardrop-shaped lenses. Rose suggests heart-shape-faced consumers turn to brands like C. Wonder, Warby Parker, Bon Look, and Kamali Kulture to find the perfect pair.
