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.

ACCEPTABLE GLASSES FOR A DIAMOND FACE SHAPE:

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.
