With so many unique designs, shapes, colors, and lenses, choosing the right glasses can elevate a bald man’s style. And, if you have a shaved head, then your face shape becomes a larger focal point.

Glasses for bald men can accentuate their face shape and style. They also pair nicely with a beard when you make the right selection. We suggest trying on different glasses before you commit. So, there are a few online companies who will send you glasses risk free to try on at home.

In this guide, we look at how to choose glasses for bald heads and provide a list of glass styles that look best on shaved heads.

What Glasses Look Best on Bald Men?

So what glasses are best for a bald head style? We looked at a variety of glasses and celebrities with bald heads to see what style is perfect for each face shape.

Certain glass frames are too boxy or may not be wide enough, or in other cases, the frames can take overpower your entire look.

So, before looking at our list of glasses for bald men, we wanted to help you think about different styles and why they work best on certain face shapes.

How to Find the Perfect Glasses

Every guy wants that perfect look. Here are a few tips to help you select the right pair of frames to go with your shaved head.

Step 1. Match to Your Face Shape

Everyone’s face is unique and may not match up to our list of shapes exactly. You can pick your appropriate shape with our guide key (below) and also match it to a beard.

Finding the best glasses for bald men starts first with determining your face shape
Face shape guide helps with determining the style of glasses for bald men.

Face Shapes Explained

  • Oval: Longer than it’s wide with oblong and narrow bone structure, typically high cheekbones.
  • Round: Wide brow and forehead with full cheeks and jaw.
  • Square: Wide hairline with a slightly wider or matching width jaw.
  • Rectangular: Longer face with a squared jawline and hairline
  • Triangle: A narrow forehead with a larger jawline.
  • Diamond: Narrow hairline with large cheeks and narrow chin.
  • Inverted Triangle: Wider forehead with a much narrower chin, typically pointed.

Now that you’ve determined your face shape, you can match glasses that’ll complement your bone structure and bald style.

See our Complete Guide Face & Head Shapes.

Step 2. Match Face Shape to Glass Frames

Here’s a look at the best glasses for each face shape:

  • Round Faces: These face shapes work best with square eyeglasses, rimless, browline or Clubmaster style glasses, Wayfarers, and bold colorful frames.
  • Oval Faces: Round frames, aviators, and square glasses balance out a narrower face.
  • Square Faces: Rimless and round frames offer the best balance for round faces.
  • Triangle Faces: It’s best to draw attention to the top of your face if you have a triangle shape. Rectangle and oval shapes work best with bold color choices.
  • Diamond Faces: Thick frames in oval and round shapes, horn-rimmed glasses, and rectangular frames work well with a diamond bone structure.
  • Inverted Triangle Faces: Choose light frames like horn-rimmed glasses, light colors, square frames, or round frames.

Step 3. Try Glasses on at Home

There are plenty of online retailers willing to give you a free trial or try on phase before you purchase anything. For instance, Warby Parker allows you to try on five different pairs of glasses, and they also have recommendations based on face shape.

Bald Head with Glasses

In the search to help our fellow bald men, we found a variety of different frames of high-quality but didn’t always suit the face shape.

We based our selections on frames that accentuated facial features and didn’t overpower the overall appearance. Rather, we wanted to find glasses that perfectly balanced a shaved head.

Here are our top 11 eyeglass frame choices for bald men:
