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.

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.

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.
