FACE SHAPE DIAMOND(MEN)

DAPPER DIAMOND 

DIAMOND FACE SHAPE SPECIFICATIONS:

If you have a Diamond face shape, the following description may sound familiar:

Your face length is the largest measurement, followed by your cheekbones, forehead width and jawline. You likely have strong cheekbones with a long, tapering jawline.

The above diagram serves to break down a Diamond face shape’s particular characteristics. As you will notice, its sharp cheekbones create a wide spread that is the centre of attention. A narrower forehead and even narrower jawline create the illusion of an angular appearance. Otherwise, it’s a tall face with a deeply defined whilst narrow bone structure.

Like its namesake, this face shape is something of a rare treasure. With refined features and an angular bone structure, a little polish with some carefully selected styling and grooming can really make it shine!

BEST DIAMOND FACE SHAPE HAIRSTYLES:

With already strong cheekbones, the objective is to balance the overall structure by adding build to the forehead and chin. Volume on top will balance out the proportions and keeping a classic, shorter hairline in the front reveals the forehead. Favouring scissor cuts will ensure softer contours and layers to avoid an overly geometric result.

Keep the sides relatively full. Volume compliments the jawline and provides width whilst short sides run the risk of enlarging the ears due to the strong cheekbones. A side part, fringe or quiff can hang to the side and arch towards the nose line, which also draws the gaze to the centre of the face. Longer hair generally works well with a diamond shape as rounder volume doesn’t risk undermining existing features.

DO:

• Plenty of volume
• Soften angularity of features
• Scissor cuts

DON’T:

• Avoid aggressive cuts that further sharpen features
• Short sides come with a Dumbo ear warning

BEST DIAMOND FACE SHAPE BEARD STYLES:

When growing a beard, men with Diamond face shapes have several caveats to keep in mind. The overall objective is to ensure that the beard remains neutral with regards to their angular features. This means aiming for softer beard contours and avoiding hard edges.
Care should be taken around the cheeks as they tend to be rather hollow. Beards that feature low cheek lines will create the illusion of gaunt cheeks. Although this can be styled deliberately, aim not to overdo it.

RECOMMENDED BEARD STYLES:

BEST DIAMOND FACE SHAPE MOUSTACHE STYLES:

Always keep the broad cheekbone width in mind. Favour narrow moustaches so to avoid widening the cheekbones any further and retain a desirable face length. Finally, a bushy finish to the moustache is preferable as this blend in nicely by slightly softening the angular features.

RECOMMENDED MOUSTACHE STYLES:

BEST GLASSES FOR DIAMOND FACE SHAPE:

When choosing glasses for a diamond face shape, remember its characteristic angular features.
 Opt for rounder glasses in order to create balance by slightly softening them. With a forehead proportionately narrower than the cheekbones, top-heavy trapezoid styles are also a good option. These will help offset the forehead for a squarer finish.
However, ensure that the glasses fit properly. If they are too wide, they risk actually exaggerating the narrowness of the forehead.

Finally, although round glasses are the most recommended, this does not rule out squarer frames either. If they have rounded or bevelled corners, they can complement your sharper features. 
Just try to avoid geometric or angular shapes as this may have an adverse effect on your structural harmony.

BEST COLLAR STYLES FOR A DIAMOND FACE:

For men with pronounced cheekbones and a pointed chin, we suggest a cutaway collar with a low, wide stance; this will help create the appearance of a wider jaw.To avoid the opposite, stay away from narrow designs such as the button-down and classic point.

RECOMMENDED HATS FOR AN DIAMOND FACE SHAPE:

The diamond face shape is defined by the width at the center of the face. It is especially common among people with prominent cheekbones and slimmer chins. In essence, the face is a little narrower at the top (forehead) and bottom (chin), and a little wider around the middle (cheeks).

Like the heart-shaped face, the diamond face shape makes it relatively easy to shop for hats. Most hat designs look good on someone with a diamond face shape. However, there are some key design characteristics that you should look for in a hat if your face is shaped like a diamond.

Wide, floppy brims are popular, especially among women with diamond face shapes. However, if you want something that works for both men and women with diamond-shaped faces, then stingy, upturned brims are also great options. For example, the classic homburg hat is a fashionable choice that pairs well with the features of high or defined cheekbones. Smaller, more casual fedoras also look great.

DEFINING CHARACTERISTIC:

A diamond face shape should balance out a narrow chin, reduce broader cheekbones, and shrink overall length. Straight bangs, as well as sides, will have the effect of narrowing a lengthy face. Diamond face shapes necessitate haircuts, styles, and cosmetics that bring out the best in the narrow and full features that combine to form their distinctive shape.

You will identify the following traits if you have a diamond face shape:

• Your face’s length is more than its width.
• The brow is slanted and the jawline are around the same width.
• The chin is pretty angular.
• Diamond face shape’s jawline is long and thin, tapering to a point.
• Cheekbones are pronounced and pointed, which are the broadest part of your face.

EARRINGS:

Your eyes and the widest part of your face are in line with each other and your forehead‘s width mirrors your chins width.

Studs or chandelier earrings that are wider at the bottom, are great options to balance the angles of the diamond shape face.

 Stick to gentle curvy shapes such as hoops and mid-length teardrops to soften and flatter your sharp features.     

NECKLACES:

When choosing necklaces, go for matinee and princess lengths to lengthen the face. A striking pendant can also help with visual harmony.

NECKLINES:

Type: V-necklines will accentuate your narrow jawline. If you want to round it out, opt for scoop or round neckline styles.
Width: Go for wider necklines to make your face appear more balanced.
Depth: Try for high necklines to camouflage length, so high crew neck and turtle necks will create the illusion of a shorter face.

SUNGLASSES:

Diamond shaped faces should be complemented by angular frames like cat-eyes, but rectangular and oval shaped frames work too. Color-wise, a pair of glasses that are darker or heavier on the top (such as half rimmed glasses) are a fantastic choice for sunglasses. They give more structure to the top of the face and distract from the bottom where the jawline is elongated.

Diamond face shapes look best in cat eye, oval, narrow, rimless or top heavy frames. Soften the cheekbones by selecting a frame with gentle curves that is no wider than the width of the cheekbones.

HATS:

If you’re a diamond face shape, you have a lot of width around your cheekbones and eyes but have a shorter, more narrow forehead and jaw. The goal when picking out a hat for a diamond is to find a shape that creates more length. This can be accomplished with hats worn farther back into your hairline or just at your hairline. Try styling your beanies farther back and picking out hats that have shallow crowns, which are meant to be worn farther back on your head.

Wear: hats worn farther back on your head

Avoid: wearing hats across your forehead and floppy hats

EYEBROWS:

This type of face structure is not as common as the others. The face is highly angular and the forehead is short, while the face is widest at the temples.
If you are one of the people that has this kind of face, go for a curved brow. It is going to help soften your angles and give the impression that your face is symmetrical. To do a curved brow, just follow your natural eyebrow’s shape and make the lines as soft as possible.

HAIRSTYLES:

Diamond face shapes are coveted because they are symmetrical and balanced, so your main objective is to accentuate your elegant face shape, rather than balance anything out. Opt for long, side-swept bangs to highlight your cheekbones with long layers, or go short with a textured lob. As well, try out a sleek middle part with your hair tucked behind your ears or a sleek high ponytail to show off your bone structure. 

Hairstyles to avoid for diamond faces:

With diamond faces, it's not so much what to do as what not to do. Diamond face shapes can pull off pretty much any hairstyle, however, there are a few styles to avoid. Because your face narrows at the chin, avoid heavy, rounded bangs, which shorten the face, making it look smaller than it is. On that note, try to avoid straight-across bangs as well, as these accentuate the widest part of your face, making your chin appear even narrower. 

FACE SHAPE-TRIANGLE

TONY TRIANGLE

Triangle face shapes may find the following statement a close description of their features:

Your jawline is wider than your cheekbone width, which in turn is wider than your forehead. Chances are that your cheekbones are straight and taper from your jaw to your forehead with a prominent jawline.

Note that the above assessment is an approximation. Every individual will have some variations. For instance, you may find that your face shape actually shares features with others.

That said, identifying its closest relative will prove invaluable to your styling choices.

TRIANGLE FACE SHAPE SPECIFICATIONS

The above diagram serves to geometrically break down the features of a Triangle face shape. With such a large jawline measurement, you may be wondering why your face shape is known for being the “inverted” triangle.

Note the graphic above’s proportions. The jawline tends to either slope downwards or span outwards and creates a characteristic triangle with cheekbones and the point of the chin. Sometimes rather than jutting outwards, the jawline may be recessed. In most cases, it tends to create the illusion of a high eye line and short forehead.

BEST TRIANGLE FACE SHAPE HAIRSTYLES

With its prominent jawline but otherwise narrow forehead, a triangle shape face can benefit from a generous use of volume on top and the sides. The use of volume can be paired with medium to long hair lengths to create full sides. The use of a side-part or quiff can be very efficient in highlighting the forehead. Try to provide bulk to the forehead, which will in turn offset the jawline.

If a short cut is desired, relatively low fades with strategic use of volume in the top corners can ensure a presence of depth and compliment the heavy jawline. Some softness can be retained around the back and sides. However, a lack of volume on top runs the risk of amplifying the jawline. In this case, texture is recommended to ensure the presence of bulk.

DO:

• Use plenty of length and volume on top
• Reveal the forehead with a swept-back quiff or side-part
• Be generous with texture

DON’T:

• Avoid too much softness on top
• Avoid high fades, which risk narrowing the forehead even further.

BEST TRIANGLE FACE SHAPE BEARD STYLES

Given the prominence of the jawline, short or partial beards are often too challenging and result in a pear-shaped appearance. Larger, bulkier beards can be honed to not only conceal the jawline but taper it in a way that offsets the forehead. Always style your beard to regain a sense of symmetry and take care not to allow it to overgrow as this will only emphasise your jawline.

RECOMMENDED BEARD STYLES

BEST TRIANGLE FACE SHAPE MOUSTACHE STYLES

There are two approaches when adapting a moustache to a Triangle face shape. You can opt for very wide and outrageous moustaches that draw attention and reinforce the cheekbones against the jawline. Alternatively, carefully use small, understated moustaches to reduce the jawline’s emphasis.

RECOMMENDED MOUSTACHE STYLES

BEST GLASSES FOR TRIANGLE FACE SHAPES

Although styling can be a difficult endeavour for triangle face shapes with personal grooming, they’re one of the most versatile with regards to glasses. Thanks to their prominent jawline and narrow forehead, they can wear a variety of styles in order to offset this discrepancy.

Our main advice is to ensure that the frames fit correctly above all else. Should they be too large or oversized, there is a risk that they may dwarf your forehead and exaggerate your shape. Nevertheless, either rounded or angular glasses tend to work well.

If you’re looking to bring out your features and create definition, aim for more angular styles. For instance, browlines and wayfarers will define your cheekbones while strengthening your forehead. However, don’t over-define as they may increase the prominence of your jawline.

Alternatively, you could consider rounder frames to soften your features for a more friendly appearance. Round and bevelled rimless frames are both excellent choices in this regard.

BEST COLLAR STYLES FOR A TRIANGLE FACE:

You can wear a Wing Collar with a standard necktie or bow tie, but the latter is more common. Most men wear this collar for a vintage look in either black or white-tie situations.

Worn mainly in the service industry (butlers/valets/waiters, this collar flatters a narrow face the most.

The Point Collar is best for men with a wide or round face — however, most facial shapes and sizes are flattered with this collar style.

When worn with a jacket, the collar points will not be covered by the lapels. This collar also won't show any part of your tie other than the knot as the spread is so small.

This collar is a popular option when wearing wider tie knots like the Windsor and Half-Windsor. A Wide Spread Collar will also allow you to wear ties made with thicker material such as wool.

This collar is best suited for a man with thin or long facial features. Men with round faces should try to avoid these collars as they will make their faces look even more round.

The Cutaway Collar is a spread collar with an extremely wide distance between the Collar Points.

The cutaway shirt collar design is a favorite in Italian tailoring and requires a large tie knot if you wear a tie. However, this style works best without a tie with the top button or two open.

A Square Collar has a very minimal spread. The title of “Square” comes from the squared-off collar points.

These were typically worn in detachable form but are hard to find. Most of the time, private school children in England wear this collar type.

The Band Collar is the most unique dress shirt collar type as some do not even consider it a shirt collar! This collar must be worn tieless and is challenging to pull off, but a man with a shorter neck could wear it without much trouble.

If worn by a man with a long next, the Band Collar would look extremely strange and out of place. Mandarin jackets also feature this collar style.

Doctor Evil wore this collar famously in the spy spoof series Austin Powers. Many contemporary musical conductors and maestros wear this style jacket with a standard point collar underneath.

BEST HATS FOR TRIANGLE FACE SHAPE 

Triangular faces are also known as a pear-shaped face, you can tell if your face is triangular if you have a larger chin and slightly smaller cheekbones and a small forehead. The best type of hats for this face shape are stiff brim hats, baseball caps + fedoras.
