Glasses: Best frame for a triangular face?

[JEDI]

I'm ordering my glasses from here: http://www.optical4less.com/index.cgi?mode=malloy

Which one do you think would look best on a triangular face (wide forehead, narrow chin)?

Edit: This is also known as a heart shape since some sites list triangle faces as narrow forehard and broad chin.

I'd say one of the oval shapes, start with the MA043 and go from there. Last thing you'd want is one of their sharp rectangular or diamond shaped frames or something similar which emphasizes the strong angles in your jawline if you have a narrow chin, rather you want something which lends balance and a sense of curvature.

Heart shaped face:
Minimize the upper portion of the face by choosing frames no wider than the forehead and angling outward at the bottom corners. Temples shouldn't be placed too high.
Frame suggestions - Very Light Colors and Rimless Styles

hm..none of the glasses in the link in my original post are rimless (or even half-rim). and none of them look like they're angling out at the bottom corners. in fact, most look like they are angling in at the bottom

any other opinions on which glasses on this page (http://www.optical4less.com/index.cgi?mode=malloy
) would look best on a triangular/heart shaped face (wide forehead, narrow chin)?

Neither did I until a month ago.

I've got contacts that you put in, leave them for a month, then replace them.

I don't think there's a way of having less hassle! Even putting on glasses and taking them off every time you go to bed, have a shower etc is more hassle!

what's the Hypotenuse of the triagular face? That may help in the decision.
