How to Match Hairstyles and Glasses (2)
Previous pageWhat to look for and to avoid in Hairstyles
One element of haircuts that may not work well with glasses is long, asymmetrical bangs. Avoid diagonal streaks of long hair over your face when wearing spectacles, as too many lines can create chaos and distract from both the hairstyle and the glasses.
If you have special designer glasses with a lot of decoration, rhinestones, or special coloring on the sides, then you'll be happy with a haircut that leaves the sides open, is short, or tucked behind the ears.
There is no advantage or disadvantage to having your bangs touch or even cover the frame of your glasses. It is entirely up to you and your personal taste.
Behold the Brows
Glasses bring more focus to your eyes and to your eyebrows as well. Make sure that your eyebrows are well-groomed, neatly plucked, and well-shaped. Details like this have a big impact on your overall appearance.
There are as many different types of glasses as personalities out there. If you follow these simple guidelines and shop around, try on different styles, and experiment with daring and more subtle frames, you will find the perfect pair.
Glasses are a medical aid and necessity for many, but that doesn't mean they can't be stylish and enhance your appearance! Have fun with this prescribed accessory and perhaps get an extra pair in a different design!
And yes, they also make you look smarter... but you already knew that, didn't you?
