We want every item in the realm of fashion to be stylish. Our jewellery, footwear, cosmetics, and purse! What about your spectacles, though? Oh no, you didn’t consider that, and now you’re worried that they won’t match you.

We’ve got you covered, so don’t worry! While there isn’t a hard and fast rule regarding whether glasses should match with which hairdo. These recommendations will help you turn the “Oh no” into a “Oh yes, I look amazing with glasses.”

Having gorgeous hair is just the beginning of a stunning look. There are many more things to think about, like your accessories, makeup, clothing, and, it’s true, even your spectacles. Everything should seem to have been designed to work together. While simultaneously ensuring that everything functions as a whole, everything must complement one another.

You don’t need to constantly mess up your gorgeous haircut in order to put on your glasses or swap between your sunglasses and regular pair of glasses.

If you wear spectacles, you probably already know how difficult it can be to pull off a stylish hairstyle, particularly if you are constantly taking your glasses on and off which will be messing up your locks, or attempting to keep your hair out of your frames. However, there are a few hairstyle tricks and techniques you can learn to make putting together a look while wearing glasses simple.

Remember that the guidelines we’ll provide you in this post are only general guidelines. Not everyone is always subject to the rules. You may combine two different facial shapes, and your natural hair colour might vary from the ones we’ll list. These pointers are only suggestions that you may use to help you get a better understanding of how to match your glasses and hairdo. By following these tips, you may improve the flow of your face and ensure that you don’t feel as if you have no alternatives because you wear spectacles.

The Haircut

Don’t forget to bring your glasses with you when you see your hairdresser if you don’t wear them all the time but do so for work throughout the day. In this manner, you may be sure that your haircut will match well with your spectacles.

  • For a bold frame – try a soft look
  • For a soft frame – try a bold look

Having a fringe? Ensure that it is well maintained. Frames and fringes teamed up may create a stunning look; just remember to maintain the length above your spectacles for a tidy appearance. Avoid wearing too big or visually heavy-looking or dark-colored frames with bangs since bangs usually look best with light frames.

In other words, you want to be sure that your chosen hairdo won’t obstruct your spectacles. You should choose a look that accentuates your face to be more open. It is not ideal to have side-swept bangs that are covering one eye since they will also be covering your spectacles.

Additionally, you should watch out for bangs that are too short for your face. It will seem like you attempted to cut your own bangs, but it did not turn out as you had hoped.

If you don’t have bangs, consider getting a haircut that keeps the hair off of your face but it is still framing your face. Select a haircut that will enable you to wear your hair in waves or curls to frame your face from your cheekbones down while leaving your eye and forehead region uncovered.

The Hair Color

It’s similar to matching your shoes to your dress, thus you have to match your hair colour to your frame as well. Either make a statement or blend in, you decide which one you prefer.

When choosing your frame’s colour, there is no hard and fast rule. However, some complement certain hair hues better than others.

Here is a little guide to help you.

Blondes – Black makes a striking contrast since blonde is a lighter tone. That’s not all, however. Nearly all hues go well with blonde hair. Another excellent choice is a pair of tortoise shell glasses. Blonde hair also looks well with pastel browns or even translucent frames.

Brunettes – With brunette hair, you may experiment and attempt hues like burgundy and purple that many other hair colours fail to pull off. Metallic and brown frames are also excellent choices.

Redheaded – You may assume that your only choice is black. But reconsider! Although black is the most secure choice for any hair colour, red hair would look gorgeous in green, brown or even royal blue. Try using transparent frames if the high contrast hues are making you feel too overwhelmed. They also match well.

Did you realise that bright red frames complement silver or grey hair so well? You should surely give this beautiful combo a try. Additionally, you might use transparent frames, burgundy, or even light blue frames.

Some of us like making statements with our hair. Even when the world may appear to be a rather dark place, we appreciate bright, bold and vivid colours that tend to brighten up our days and make us happier. If you’re anything like us and prefer to dye your hair in funky, crazy colours, you can do it happily and still wear glasses.

However, you must be careful to either go all out or play it safe. By adding some blue, pink, purple, or any other colour which will make your soul happy, you may match such spectacles to the colour of your hair. Alternatively, you may choose a more subdued approach and wear your wild colours in your hair while keeping your choice of spectacle frames plain and simple.

You have an option, but keep in mind that you want to make sure that everything goes well. The colours you choose must complement your hair properly, and it’s also a good idea to ensure that your glasses match.

The Hairstyle

Make sure that any hairstyles you choose for wearing with glasses are in harmony with your frames. It is important to keep any hairstyles that demand volume or pull your hair away from your face, such a bun or a ponytail, in line with the additional attention that wearing glasses might bring to your face. Additionally, you may utilise your spectacles to either bring attention to your hairdo or deflect it from your hairdo. A sleek bob haircut will give you a radically different look when paired with big, vividly coloured spectacles than when the same hairdo is worn with smaller, more subtle glasses.

Frame should complement the strongest aspect of your own style and glass should go match with your hairdo. The greatest hairstyles to employ to highlight your eye frame are normally short haircuts.

Almost any hairdo which takes the hair off your face will look good with any pair of glasses.

Your hair will stay out of the way and away from your frames if you blow-dry the hair and style it to the side. A side parting looks fantastic with square-shaped spectacles.

A basic hair up-do is usually a wonderful option if you want a go-to hairstyle that will always appear professional for work. By doing this, you can avoid fussing with your hair and glasses all day long and have them out of the face. For a more professional workday, you can put your hair up in a tidy bun and for a more casual informal day, you may make a looser bun.

Allow some hair pieces to fall out of your pony hair as you pull your hair back. These deliberate hair pieces will frame your face while still staying out of the face, giving the impression that you have styled your hair rather than just opting for a plain ponytail.

Curly hairstyles

Take a cue from Oprah if you’ve been advised that spectacles and curly hair don’t go well together. In our opinion, Oprah looks gorgeous with her wavy hair and translucent glasses!

When worn with thick spectacles, long, voluminous curls may be extremely intimidating. So, to harmonize the body of the curls, use thinner, lightweight frames. With curlier hair, round spectacles with thin frames would look fantastic.

Most frames should work for you if your hair is more naturally wavy. We often noticed that the angles of a layered hairstyle are often brought out with cat-eye glasses.

Tousled tie ups

When we say “tousled tie up,” we’re referring to one of those pulled back, partially undone ponytails or styling the hair up with a bunch of loose ends.

Typically, they are considerably softer than the sleeker, pulled-back ponytails.

The longer hair should not be pulled straight onto the face since it may easily become tangled with the hinges of your frame which can be quite painful.

To fringe or not to fringe

If your fringe is blunt and straight, it will draw a horizontal line over the top of your face. Choose rounded frames with a lower nose bridge in order to soften the horizontal fringe line.

A thick, striking pair of spectacles will make the face appear even smaller since full broad fringes are already concealing a portion of the face. Therefore, bear it in mind while selecting a frame.

Fringes that are side-swept are a bit more forgiving. They can be tucked behind the ear securely depending on their length. They won’t obstruct your vision or your glasses this way.

Parting ways

As long as there are no stray hairs blocking your vision, it doesn’t really matter how you separate your hair. The fact that loose strands often get trapped in the glasses’ hinges makes them a genuine trouble.

Pulling the hair stuck at the hinge may either damage your hair causing pain or your glasses to get tangled, neither of which you want.

All eyes on your frames!

Make your spectacles the centre of attention by wearing them with your hair pulled back. The sleek ponytails pulled back and the high buns hairstyle are perfect for drawing focus on your beautiful frames.

Hair that is neatly coiffed and carefully pulled back behind the ears, or a low, loose plait – these hairstyles ensure your hair off of your face so that people will notice your spectacles instead of your hair.

This goes well with little light makeup and a nude-lipstick lip colour.

Use frames that complement your face.

Glasses should be in contrast to the shape of your face, with the frame being centred properly with reference to your eyes and the appropriate size for your face. In other words, if you have a tiny face, you shouldn’t wear large, thick spectacles, and vice versa.

Most frames work well for oval faces, although wide frames might add additional intrigue.

  • Narrow frames with angular lines work well for round faces.
  • Narrow-styled frames work well for square faces.
  • Frames with enhanced width work well for oblong faces.
  • Wide frames work well for high cheekbones with a diamond facial shape and thin frames as well as narrow eyes.
  • Narrow frame works well with a heart-shaped face.

Choose frames that go well with your hairstyle.

  • Broad Frames Avoid: Hairstyles with a huge body at the sides. Try: Hairstyles with volume on the crown. Bangs that are textured and chunky. Long hair with no volume. Short hair with vertical strong lines.
  • Large frames Avoid: Low Volume long hairstyles. Impish, short hairstyles. Straight hairstyles. Try: proportion haircuts. hairstyles with long layers and added volume on the sides.
  • Little Frames Avoid: Hairstyles that frame the feature of the face. Try: Long blunt cuts or short, cropped, wavy haircuts that emphasise the face.

Tips for styling your hair while wearing glasses

Always keep in mind how your hair will look with your glasses. This will make it easier for you to style your hair appropriately and guarantee that it stays out of the face while you wear your glasses comfortably. During the styling, periodically take your spectacles on and off.

Please use caution while using glasses with hot styling tools! Keep your glasses removed during this hot styling procedure since frames can burn very easily.

Carefully place bobby pins! To avoid having your bobby pins interfere with the frames of your spectacles, keep in mind that if you style your hair properly and then put on your glasses. Your glasses may not be sitting properly on your face as a result, which may be uncomfortable.

When wearing glasses, avoid using hairspray on your hair as the hairspray can easily create lots of stubborn stains on the lenses.

Before putting your glasses on, give your hair products time to settle after styling. If you don’t wait for the hairspray or gel to dry before putting your glasses back on, you risk having a frame indentation in your hair.

Having contact lenses as an alternative for your more formal or glamourous hairstyles. You won’t have to worry about matching your glasses to your hairdo and may wear any hairstyle you like as a result.

When you wear glasses, shiny objects might reflect light and hurt your eyes. When wearing your spectacles, try to stay away from putting on shiny hairpins and other metallic accessories.

Make sure your hair is tied back. By doing this, you won’t have to always keep adjusting your glasses and stroking your hair throughout the night.

Don’t forget to clean your frames once the day is finished and you take off your glasses. If you leave the stains of your hair products on the frames of your glasses for too long, they may cling and become unhygienic.

Some individuals feel shameful about wearing glasses. They believe it makes them appear like nerds and that there aren’t any haircuts for them that will complement their face and spectacles. That is untrue! If you pick your glasses well, they will enhance and complement your face well. When selecting your glasses, be sure to take your time. You want them to highlight rather than cover up the beautiful features of your face.

The same holds true for your hairstyle! There’s no hurry, so take your time. Select a hairstyle that is simple for you to maintain and complements your selected glasses. Remember that you can always attempt another hairstyle if you don’t like this one. Just make sure it complements your face shape, personality, and spectacle as well. The end result should be to appear as if you were born with spectacles and that your hair organically fell into the ideal hairdo for you.
