15 Style Tips for Women Who Like Glasses

Women like glasses, especially sunglasses, don’t they? 🙂

The right pair of glasses is a stylish accessory for every woman.

Generally, there are many options for changing or even improving your look.

How?

Because there are pairs of frames compatible with your prescription and face shape.

Let’s find out how to make any eyewear (from fashion frames to prescription safety glasses) a part of your style.

1. Select Frames for Your Face Shape

The most essential principle of styling glasses is to choose frames that flatter the shape of your face.

The most common shapes for faces include diamond, heart-shaped, narrow, oblong, oval, round, square, triangular, and trapezoidal. These shapes refer to the general profile of the face.

Determining your face shape is the first step toward looking your best while wearing eyeglasses.

2. Consider Contrasting Frame Shapes

A guaranteed way to find flattering glasses is to seek out frame shapes that contrast with the shape of your face.

For instance, someone with a round face shape might look best in rectangular frames, whereas round frames can show a square face to advantage.

Other face shapes may benefit from frames that create visual balance by broadening narrow areas or balancing wider sections.

3. Choose Complementary Frame Colors

The color of frames can be important in several ways.

First of all, frames should complement your skin tone.

Generally, people with cool skin tones tend to look better in silver, black, blue, gray, dark tortoise, mauve, or purple frames.

Warmer skin tones can glow in light tortoise, amber, gold, beige, olive green, or brown frames. The color of frames should also correspond to the colors and tones of your eyes, hair, and clothing.

4. Accentuate Your Best Features

Glasses do not have to distract observers from your face.

In fact, eyewear offers a great opportunity to direct attention where you want it while minimizing the prominence of other features.

If you have a strong brow, you might want to avoid eyewear with a thick bridge or top bar.

Remember that glasses with bold frames keep the focus on your eyes, regardless of your face shape or features.

5. Balance Frames & Accessories

Consider your glasses as a primary accessory.

If you plan to wear statement frames, you may want to put on more subdued accessories.

In a professional or formal dress context, earrings, hair accessories, or necklaces should not compete with your frames for attention.

Achieving a good balance is also flattering during casual wear.

6. Fine Tune Your Makeup

It may be helpful to adjust your makeup routine for glasses.

Frames may create dark shadows under eyes that you can counteract with a brightening concealer.

Makeup artists recommend applying one full coat of volumizing mascara to lashes before wiggling the wand at the base of lashes and pulling straight out, rather than up, to frame eyes.

Navy blue eyeliner can brighten whites and look less extreme than a black liner.

Glasses-wearers can also achieve a balance between the top and bottom of the face with a bold lip color.

7. Try Hairstyles for Glasses

Shaping your hair around frames can also help to accentuate features to make anyone look better in glasses. Some hair textures can be cut in bangs to set off glasses.

No matter the texture or type of your hair, updos such as a high bun or chignon at the base of the neck keep eyewear at center stage.

You will look best in glasses that correspond to your personal style.

If you plan to purchase one primary pair of eyewear, consider frames in a neutral shade that complements your skin tone, eye color, hair color, and the most common colors in your closet.

Having more than one pair of glasses makes it easier to change your look.

9. Match Frames to Your Wardrobe

Factor in your most common colors of clothing and style of dress and select frames in the same color family at a comparable level of formality.

There are exceptions to this rule, particularly if you plan to purchase more than one pair of eyewear.

If you tend to wear muted colors, you may prefer to select neutral glasses for work and a pair of bold statement frames for casual wear.

10. Wear Frames that Fit Your Lifestyle

The frames you choose should fit your lifestyle.

If you play sports or work out regularly, you may prefer a pair of everyday glasses that have features such as impact resistance.

It may also be beneficial to select frames made of a certain material based on daily activities. The size and weight of frames also affect the quality of the fit.

11. Protect Your Eyes

If you work or spend time in environments that pose any risk of eye injury, you should invest in a pair of prescription safety glasses.

Some safety glasses are designed to wear exclusively during hazardous activities, while other styles are comfortable and versatile enough to wear all day.

Decide whether you want to wear safety frames as everyday eyewear or sunglasses.

12. Have Stylish Sunglasses on Hand

Choosing glasses

Sunglasses provide an instant style infusion.

The color and shape of the frames you choose will determine whether this eyewear is best for active or casual outdoor wear.

Prescription sunglasses can make it easier and more comfortable to see while spending time outside or driving during daylight hours.

13. Put on Earrings or Some Jewelry

Earrings can play an important part in making eyeglasses appear more stylish.

Wearing small to medium-sized earrings or a necklace are easy ways to dress up any ensemble while wearing glasses.

You may want to coordinate the color of jewelry to glasses and factor in your skin tone, eye color, and hair color when putting on accessories.

14. Add a Formal Piece

Sometimes wearing glasses can make you look dressed down or like you just rolled out of bed.

If you wear glasses at work or plan to keep on a pair of frames during a formal occasion, you may want to elevate the look of eyewear with at least one dressy accessory or article of clothing.

15. Invest in Several Frame Styles

Maximize the possibilities of styling looks around glasses by buying more than one pair of frames.

While it’s possible to always look stylish in the right pair of corrective glasses with clear or progressive lenses, having several pairs of eyewear to choose from can make it easier to build the best outfit for any occasion.

Some or all of these tips may be useful, depending on whether you want to dress eyeglasses up or down.

The two most important factors are finding casual, fashion, or prescription safety glasses that fit and flatter your face so that you can see clearly while looking stylish.
